Abstract
Apart from scalable classrooms, learning in virtual space for pro-technology and pro-Internet generation contributes significantly to developing their inherent domains. This process manifests through the use of digital materials, making the pedagogical scheme enjoyable, catchy, innovative, and inclusive. Today’s staggering educational challenges of tertiary institutions, because of the COVID-19 Pandemic, call for operational rejig. Still alarming is the difficulty of containing the recent evolution into variants. Sequel to this, different countries adopted various strategies to achieve tension-free and inclusive learning environments as part of the ‘new normal.’ This study addresses the pertinence: Could the use of virtual spaces for instructional delivery constitute sustainable strategies for tension-free, and more inclusive, methods of educating learners during and after COVID-19 dispensation? To answer this question, we adopted a theory-based adaptation conceptual approach and inside-outside approach and brought the Nigerian situation into focus where virtual learning was sceptically debunked because of operational and policy slackness. This study agreed with the positive potentials of virtual space and disagrees with earlier studies deficient at uncertainty variables. Based on these, recommends areas of gaps filling in developing countries’ education systems, who stopped learning during the pandemic period for future adoption and adaptation.

Summary
Universities are communities dedicated to the learning and personal development of their members. They have been placed as repositories and generators of knowledge to provide efficient scrutiny of public policy, the social, and economic plight of their members, and surrounding community development. While fulfilling their social obligations, universities are currently being at risk of unintentionally contributing to the further spread of COVID-19. To cope with the dread unleashed by the pandemic, many countries decided to temporarily shut down the gates to all higher and lower institutions of learning. Pathetic to mention that the impact on learners is obvious, families and tutors all struggle with psychological health, communal
