“Distance learning can be very difficult for both educators and students, especially when they do not have the right tools for it. Developed at Carnegie Mellon University, Panopto provides lecture recording, screencasting, video streaming and video content management software, which are often used in distance learning environments. Yap thinks that a more comprehensive blended learning approach will be the future of education, even after the pandemic subsides. Blended learning promotes interaction between the students and educators and allows the students to learn at their own pace.”At press time, Sunway University’s classes were fully online. This is the perfect opportunity for educators to cultivate a culture of blended learning, says Yap.
