How has the pandemic changed the way you’ll learn?
As students gradually return to campus, many universities will be offering blended learning - mixing face-to-face lectures with the best of digital teaching
The past year and a half has been a learning experience for everyone in education. You might recall frustrating days battling your internet connection to log on to Teams classes. Similarly, the pandemic has been a baptism of fire for universities in how to deliver quality online learning.
While universities are planning to revert to their pre-pandemic state by autumn 2022, many are also thinking hard about the positive lessons that can be drawn from what's happened.
The main shift is likely to be around how much online teaching you get. Most universities are planning to use a blended model" that will combine the flexibility of online lectures with more interactive activities in-person, such as labs, seminars, workshops and Q&A sessions.
