Maximise online learning


The most effective tool in keeping student retention and maintaining access to learning has been
online courses. Universities across the US, in particular, have adjusted their programs in
response to the spread of the coronavirus.
Stanford University has called off the remaining two weeks of in-class lectures, urging its
professors to move any remaining lessons online. The University of Washington announced
a ban on on-campus classes until after spring break, after a member of staff was diagnosed with
coronavirus last week. Other universities are making starting to make the move to virtual classes.
Develop robust systems
While the majority of colleges and universities around the world integrate some form of online
education into their coursework, moving all programs online may prove challenging. While some
universities may already have strong online systems, smaller universities may struggle under the
weight of the demand. University course creators should work closely with their IT departments
to ensure their programs are able to be supported online.
One such university that is currently undertaking these measures is the University of Southern
California, which is testing its online platforms to ensure its technology can handle its 7,000 plus
lectures.
Educate students on best practices
With online learning the way to go, universities should also ensure students and staff are
protected while on campus.
While Covid-19 is a high risk for those over 60, traditional-aged university students face
relatively low risks from the disease. However in recent weeks, we have seen just how quickly
the novel coronavirus can spread in areas with a high concentration of people – and university
campuses are no exception.
Administrators should undertake simple measures to prevent the spread of the disease on their
campuses. This should include instructing students on the appropriate protocols for hand
washing, covering sneezes and coughs with their elbows, and self isolating if they are
experiencing flu or cold-like symptoms.
Educators should also be aware of students who have travelled extensively during the spring
break, and remind those who have been abroad in heavily affected places to be mindful about
returning to campus.
Gather information and apply learnings
Universities and colleges yet to implement changes to campuses in response to the novel
coronavirus should take cues from others who have already taken action. They should analyse
the steps already taken by other educators to understand what has worked, what hasn’t worked
and how to tackle the challenges they may face. With the spread of the disease expected to
worsen before it gets better, administrators should take quick action to safeguard their campuses
and students in preparation for potential closures.
But it’s not all doom and gloom. The higher education sector has withstood turbulent
economic times in the past, and it will withstand them again. In a digital age, universities
and colleges are better placed today more than ever to provide students with easy
access to continue their studies online.
