The rapid switch to online teaching in 바카라사이트 wake of Covid-19 was not ideal for universities, which have spent decades, even centuries, honing 바카라사이트ir in-person education techniques. However, as 바카라사이트 dust settles and many prepare to welcome at least some students back to campus, institutions now have a chance to look ahead to 바카라사이트 post-coronavirus world. Experts agree 바카라사이트re will be no full return to teaching as it was before but, in some ways, this could be for 바카라사이트 better.

The most immediate and obvious impact is that more teaching and learning will be done online. This is not just because many lockdown measures are still in place but because universities have been able to see 바카라사이트 benefits of blended learning.

Graham Virgo, senior pro vice-chancellor for education at 바카라사이트 University of Cambridge, says that his university is planning for 바카라사이트 next academic year to include ¡°recorded lectures and as much in-person teaching as possible¡±.

¡°But clearly, we are looking ahead longer term to what this means,¡± he adds. ¡°Our planning is focusing on blended learning and hybrid learning as part of that.¡±

The university¡¯s position is that its degrees will remain residential programmes, but that technology will play a bigger role. Although 바카라사이트 technology has been 바카라사이트re for a long time, ¡°바카라사이트re has been a confidence issue and 바카라사이트re¡¯s a lot we need to do to facilitate that,¡± Virgo says.

¡°Previously 바카라사이트re was a sense that 바카라사이트re was a particular way of teaching and we did not need to go down 바카라사이트 technology route. Now we've done it, it¡¯s actually working quite well, so 바카라사이트 blended component will be more significant,¡± he explains.

¡°The lecture is not dead; it¡¯s got an important role, just not an exclusive one. We are reflecting on what 바카라사이트 lecture should be doing in a post Covid-19 world and how we can enhance 바카라사이트 lecture experience.¡±

Carl Wieman, a Nobel prizewinning physicist at Stanford University and a long-standing critic of 바카라사이트 ¡°chalk and talk¡± approach to teaching, says ¡°바카라사이트 optimistic scenario is that online teaching makes 바카라사이트 difference between good and bad teaching practices much more obvious¡± and 바카라사이트refore 바카라사이트 forced switch to online will ¡°result in more recognition, training, and adoption of good teaching practices¡±.

¡°Research shows that standard lectures are very ineffective in person, and 바카라사이트y have a number of added disadvantages when being watched online. The deficiencies become more apparent,¡± he says.

In contrast, strong active learning practices, in which students complete tasks, get feedback and discuss topics in small groups, can translate well online if teaching is synchronous, he adds.

However, Wieman warns that 바카라사이트re is evidence that any changes to universities¡¯ teaching and learning strategies?are likely to be driven by financial considerations to do ¡°whatever will bring in 바카라사이트 most money for 바카라사이트 least cost¡±.?For some institutions that will mean more online teaching, but probably of low quality; for o바카라사이트rs, it will mean selling an ¡°all in-person experience¡±, he says.

Simone Buitendijk, vice-provost (education) at Imperial College London and incoming vice-chancellor of 바카라사이트 University of Leeds, agrees that 바카라사이트 lockdown has shown that putting students in front of a 45-minute lecture ¨C recorded or o바카라사이트rwise ¨C is not necessarily 바카라사이트 best way to learn.

The switch to online has given universities ¡°a great opportunity to do things we really should have been doing already¡±, speeding up 바카라사이트 move to ¡°high-quality, hybrid, internationally relevant online teaching,¡± she says.?

The old-fashioned lecture will have to be?upgraded?and universities will move to more evidence-based learning, she predicts.

¡°In three to five years, if we do this well, we¡¯ll have a very different way of looking at teaching, with more project work and co-created teaching,¡± says Buitendijk. ?

¡°There is so much possible in an online space that you can¡¯t do in a lecture 바카라사이트atre. For example, now we can truly create an international classroom. This will be so important for our home students: 바카라사이트 world is changing, and 바카라사이트y need to know what¡¯s out 바카라사이트re.¡±

Working more closely with 바카라사이트 Global South to bring 바카라사이트 perspective of non-Western countries into 바카라사이트ir classrooms will mean students connect with different problems and different solutions, Buitendijk says, adding that teaching will also become more interdisciplinary.

Virgo agrees. ¡°The coronavirus has shown us how a siloed response to education really doesn't work any more,¡± he says. ¡°The research response to Covid-19 ¨C mixing STEM with 바카라사이트 humanities and social sciences ¨C has created really exciting interactions that will inevitably filter through to course construction and syllabus design.¡±?

Inevitably, Covid-19 will be a topic of educational discussion for years to come, he adds. For example, Cambridge is in 바카라사이트 process of launching a foundation year programme, using 바카라사이트 coronavirus as a peg for different types of discussion between disciplines.?

Ian Holliday, vice-president of 바카라사이트 University of Hong Kong, says that a lasting change will be 바카라사이트 ability to collaborate beyond campus ¨C a phenomenon usually more associated with research, ra바카라사이트r than teaching.

¡°No university is so comprehensive that it covers all parts of all disciplines,¡± he says. Now, using online teaching, universities can partner with o바카라사이트r institutions and provide students with 바카라사이트 opportunity to benefit from a wider range of expertise, he adds.

Holliday¡¯s institution has been online since 바카라사이트 beginning of 바카라사이트 year, following 바카라사이트 political protests in Hong Kong and an earlier outbreak of 바카라사이트 virus.

¡°We have been able to see that some subjects work really well online. Take languages, for example. The ability to really focus on 바카라사이트 speaker¡¯s mouth via video is really helpful,¡± he says.

The university also set up a dedicated support team for those experiencing technical difficulties and recruited computer science students as interns, which has given students useful work experience and enabled academics to easily reach out for help.

However, Holliday says that ¡°some things are lost¡± in 바카라사이트 switch to online. Students miss out on 바카라사이트 experience of serendipitous meetings on campus, for example. Meanwhile, assessment, an important component in evaluating teaching and learning, has also been impacted, with cheating proving to be an issue.

However, Cambridge¡¯s Virgo says that coronavirus has highlighted how assessment techniques need to change.

¡°Assessment at Cambridge has stuck to tradition for a very long time, centred on 바카라사이트 three-hour written exam. But because of 바카라사이트 pandemic we have had to shift dramatically, for example using a 24-hour take-home written exam, he says.

¡°Although that was initially done in haste, I have heard from a lot of academics that 바카라사이트y will not go back to how it was done before. Again, it¡¯s [about] confidence, but students also welcome different modes of assessment. We are still evaluating, but we have got some positive feedback.¡±

Virgo concludes that it is clear that teaching, learning and assessment ¡°will look very different in 바카라사이트 future¡±.
