How universities can continue to evolve their hybrid and online courses - Class Technologies, Times Higher Ed

As the days of pandemic-enforced digital learning recede, universities must find ways to ensure student engagement while supporting faculty to improve their digital skills. One of the challenges faced by universities is providing adequate faculty support. Educating the instructors is the most important thing in enabling digital transformation, said Elisabeth Sandow, head of learning management systems at Galileo Global Education. The levels of digital literacy among staff vary and it is important to give as much information and training as possible to get everyone to a similar standard. “Moving on to hybrid learning poses even more challenges because you have to prep for the online part and for students who are in your class,” she said.
