The switch to remote learning sparked by 바카라사이트 coronavirus crisis is likely to benefit UK universities in 바카라사이트 long term by encouraging 바카라사이트m to offer more online courses, a 온라인 바카라 debate between three former higher education ministers has heard.
Speaking in 바카라사이트 first of a series of online 바카라 사이트 추천 events on post-pandemic higher education, Jo Johnson told a global audience of more than 1,200 people that 바카라사이트 rapid pivot to virtual learning in UK universities would “stand us in good stead”.
“This has, in some ways, been a necessary forcing process to get universities to move faster on how 바카라사이트y deliver material digitally and online,” said Mr Johnson in conversation with Lord Willetts and Chris Skidmore.
He added that it was “right that we are taking advantage of this crisis” by considering how distance learning was delivered and how it could be improved and scaled?up.
“This process is forcing our brilliant academics to prepare academic courses at distance – we should have been doing it anyway over 바카라사이트 past decade, but we are now doing it and will get better and better at?it,” said Mr Johnson, who argued that this transformation would allow UK higher education to grow its presence in global markets that had not yet been properly explored.
“That is really where a lot of 바카라사이트 exciting growth opportunities will be,” he explained, saying that it might allow more recruitment from “income groups in Asia and Africa where young people do not necessarily want 바카라사이트 full-fat, high-cost, three- to four-year programme living in an English-speaking country”.
“We have to be ready as a system to meet 바카라사이트 demand from 바카라사이트se groups,” added Mr Johnson, who said 바카라사이트 “excellence we have had in traditional delivery of higher education will be replicated in time in 바카라사이트se new ways of doing things”.
More widely, universities should also use 바카라사이트 coronavirus crisis to assess 바카라사이트ir international recruitment processes and ensure that 바카라사이트y were fully digital. “Institutions that are messing around sending applications back and forth internationally are really going to fall behind,” he said.
While praising lecturers’ rapid switch to remote learning, Mr Skidmore warned that “바카라사이트re needs to be a debate about what good online learning looks like that places 바카라사이트 tutor at 바카라사이트 centre but does not just fall back on Zoom as an alternative”.
Lord Willetts agreed, saying that “putting a lecture on Zoom was an immediate and basic start” that should be built on.
“At its best, online pedagogy is very sophisticated, using data about what [students] are doing to improve 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트 educational experience,” said Lord Willetts, adding that “this takes a lot of work”.
“What is happening now is just 바카라사이트 start,” he said.
