IS THE LECTURE DEAD?

IS THE LECTURE DEAD? | Higher Education Teaching and Learning | Scoop.it
The Australian National University’s vice-chancellor Brian Schmidt told staff last week:: “We need our teachers to be more than just people who stand at the front of the lecture hall or before a video camera.

A chance for change in teaching and learning design

In 2021, universities are now grappling with the complex question of “what teaching and learning needs next?”.

Instead, we need flexibility; flexibility to create the best learning experiences, whatever they may be, however long they go for, and via whatever mode or platform works best for each activity.
