English universities will be told which approaches to blended learning fall short of the sector regulator’s requirements as part of a review being launched into in-person versus online course delivery. The Office for Students will examine institutions’ approaches to learning post-pandemic after what it said were concerns about the poor quality of the online experience for some students. A report – due in summer 2022 – will outline good and bad practice, with universities being asked to justify why they are proposing to keep certain elements of courses online.
