The global picture of higher education is a complex one and students in different parts of the world have had very different experiences of starting or returning to study at university this year.
In some regions, campuses have opened their doors and welcomed all students back to face-to-face learning, with little or no restriction on movement. In other countries, a mix of in-person and remote learning continues as institutions attempt to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Few education professionals would want to imagine a scenario where bringing students together in one teaching space is simply not an option. Group activities give students the chance to work collaboratively and share their views on the subjects they are learning about.
However, it is possible to take steps to ensure that the students who are unable to physically attend in person, for whatever reason, don’t miss out.
The answer is an effective blended learning strategy. Supported with the right technology, this approach can help universities to ensure exciting and engaging learning can continue, wherever their students happen to be.
