Following President Uhuru Kenyatta’s latest pronouncement, universities and all other tertiary institutions will remain closed until January next year. It is unprecedented in the history of education to have all learning institutions, right from kindergarten to university, shut for nearly a year. Since the educational institutions were closed in March, the push has been to deliver learning through online models. Put simply, most universities and tertiary colleges do not have capacity for virtual learning, yet that is the new world order. Contingent on that, universities and other tertiary institutions have to scale up and integrate virtual learning into their programmes.
