National Centre for Universities and Business says limiting conversation risks stifling innovation in teaching
Conversations around the future of online learning in the wake of Covid-19 are “oversimplified” and could limit innovation in teaching at universities, the National Centre for Universities and Business has warned.
The pandemic has seen a rush to move higher education teaching online, with many universities, lecturers and students keen to keep some elements of this after the virus is tamed. But in a 25 August article, Chris Russell, policy lead for skills and talent at the NCUB, argues that the debate around post-pandemic teaching “needs to go beyond discussion on whether lectures should be delivered online”.
