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 ¨C 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.
