The COVID-19 pandemic has elicited responses regarding how education can capitalise on the new opportunities created by the disruption. Opportunities to collaborate and find pathways to deepen learning for students and educators and engage in new learning methods are required for better outcomes. As a result, several approaches have emerged, including:
Partial opening
Some institutions allow just a certain number of students to return to campus.
The remaining students will continue their studies in a virtual setting.
Synchronous and separated
Some institutions provide both face-to-face and online learning modes.
Some students attend the class in person, while others join remotely.
Asynchronous and rotational
Some institutions shift students on and off campus during the week.
Students attend courses on campus on certain days, while their classmates study remotely and asynchronously on the same days.
