Blended Learning

I believe this is a term we are all going to get very familiar with. Whatever form it takes, mixed classes, video conferences, online and students present in class. Hopefully it's done in such a way that makes sense for teachers and students, but the dept is not exactly known for its outside the box thinking. :D

Maybe we also need to remind the policy makers that we don't have the basic infrastructure in this country to support any kind of 'blended learning'. The national broadband plan is a mess.

I don't have a stable internet connection at home, I'm straining to work from home on a mobile hotspot, there's no way my children can also be on concurrent video calls to various teachers. Who is going to suddenly supply the hundred thousand laptops and printers needed, and even set up a home study space for children. Utter nonsense.
