While online learning has been the safest option during the Covid-19 pandemic, it most certainly is not ideal for all tertiary education courses.
According to the STADIO School of Fashion, online education was not particularly helpful for design students.
Head of the fashion schools Maryn Steenkamp said: “For the creative and design curricula, the challenges of online learning and teaching are seated in the lack of tangible (tactile) and 3-dimensional space that curates the design process.”
She added that the digital space is not aligned to social interactions that one would be exposed to on campus. Steenkamp cited technical issues which added to the challenge when learning and teaching online such as data and devices that can run software and maintain internet stability are also challenging.
