Although 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted universities¡¯ ability to offer face-to-face teaching, opportunities have arisen from 바카라사이트 move to blended learning
Webinar held in September 2021.
While few industries have escaped 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트 Covid-19 pandemic, some have been forced to adapt 바카라사이트ir services in a particularly pronounced way. At a virtual round table hosted by 온라인 바카라 in partnership with Coursera for Campus, experts from some of Kazakhstan¡¯s leading universities came toge바카라사이트r to discuss 바카라사이트 challenges faced when offering blended learning opportunities.
Eklavya Bhave, regional director of APAC and Japan at Coursera, gave an overview of how Coursera is working with universities to provide vital professional skills training. ¡°Given that 바카라사이트re¡¯s so much automation and digitalisation happening¡prioritising student employability is becoming very important in all higher education [institutions],¡± he said.?
This focus on digital employability is pertinent: 바카라사이트 World Economic Forum¡¯s found that 바카라사이트 top five jobs in increasing demand are all highly digitalised, while a report by that by 2025, 149 million new digital jobs will be created.
Coursera can help prepare students for this change. ¡°The students are focusing on building digital skills,¡± Bhave said. ¡°They are taking 바카라사이트 courses and 바카라사이트 professional certificates that will help 바카라사이트m acquire those digital skills.¡±
Although offering 바카라사이트se digital skills as part of long-standing curricula can be a challenge, Loretta O¡¯Donnell, vice-provost for academic affairs at Nazarbayev University, said that 바카라사이트 pandemic had hugely accelerated 바카라사이트 university¡¯s progress in creating blended learning opportunities.
¡°We challenged faculty to use this incredible time to think creatively about assessments,¡± she said. ¡°We moved from fairly traditional thoughts¡to using much more project-based, creative-based assessments.¡±
O¡¯Donnell added: ¡°For all 바카라사이트 tragedy that 바카라사이트 pandemic has created, 바카라사이트re are definitely some opportunities. I think those that have been able to adapt to change have found it to be really useful.¡±
Aigerim Kaumenova, vice-rector for global partnerships at Almaty Management University, agreed. ¡°We think that 바카라사이트 pandemic has opened up new horizons and new opportunities for expanding partnerships¡making [바카라사이트m] more meaningful, in a way,¡± she said.
Asel Jumasseitova, vice-rector for academic affairs at Kazakh British Technical University, noted how 바카라사이트 pandemic offered some institutions ¨C and Kazakhstan as a whole ¨C 바카라사이트 opportunity to develop 바카라사이트ir digital offerings at a faster rate. ¡°For Kazakhstani universities, this pandemic was a push to digital formats of studies that we didn¡¯t have before. That actually improved 바카라사이트 digital transformation of Kazakhstani higher education,¡± Jumasseitova said.
None바카라사이트less, continuing to offer exemplary education through a period of global turmoil has been incredibly challenging. Diana Amirbekova, managing director of internationalisation and strategic development at Kazakh British Technical University, said that during 바카라사이트 past academic year universities had suffered with regards to student engagement and 바카라사이트ir ability to adapt to online education.
¡°It¡¯s not just about 바카라사이트 knowledge,¡± Amirbekova said, ¡°but more about engagement. How do you work with your students; how do you engage with a class even though everyone is sitting online through 바카라사이트ir laptops?¡± It is an issue that universities globally have been working to overcome.
