(MENAFN - The Conversation) Throughout the world , COVID-19 health regulations have made the on-campus lecture mostly defunct. And most Australian universities won t be offering on-campus lectures in 2021.
The Australasian Council on Open, Distance and e-Learning (ACODE) recently published a white paper on lectures , based on survey responses from 43 member universities (91% response rate). About two-thirds indicated they would not be conducting on-campus lectures this year.
University of Southern Queensland (USQ), for example, sent a document to all staff and students announcing on-campus classes, such as tutorials, lab work and small-group seminars, will continue in 2021, with the notable exception of the traditional lecture. At USQ, when didactic content does need to be delivered, it will be done online, in smaller chunks , with student learning activities interspersed.
