On Tuesday 30 June, at 5pm the first webinar will look at the future of learning, ‘Reshaping Higher Education: Time for a hybrid model?’’
Changing market
Covid-19 has changed the tertiary education landscape, as it has every industry and discipline.
Universities had to swiftly move to virtual teaching, and for students worldwide, distance learning quickly became a familiar and well-accepted norm.
UAE universities adapted quickly, capitalising on the nation’s focus on smart systems in recent years to comprehensively demonstrate their digital readiness.
As the current academic year draws to a close like never before, our attentions are shifting to what’s in store for next year.
As circumstances slowly allow a return to more face-to-face teaching, find out how blended learning will define the future of education. Find out how university admissions have changed. How will collaboration become even more important as there are fewer on-campus activities?
