Covid-19 – It's Impact On The New Academic Year

Students returned to education this September after facing huge disruption to teaching in the 2019/20 academic year. To minimise the risks posed by Covid-19 dramatic changes have been made to the way Higher Education Establishments teach courses in the 2020/21 academic year. We look at what the 'new normal' will be in classrooms and lecture halls and the risks the current situation poses.

Virtual Classrooms

Many Higher Education Establishments have advised its students that face-to-face teaching will be kept to a minimum in order to reduce the risks of Covid-19. Lectures and seminars will instead take place virtually either using pre-recorded material or by using platforms such as Zoom or Teams.
