KUALA LUMPUR, July 13 — Leading education technology company Blackboard Inc said today conventional classroom learning methods will not entirely disappear despite the emergence of remote learning following the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic about a year ago.
“Traditionally when we go to class we are presented with a book or chapter that we are new to, and we are introduced to concepts and then go off from class to understand what it's all about. On particular triggers driving remote learning in Malaysia, especially in the Higher Education sector, Murray said one of the key triggers was the focus on international students and travel restrictions in place which posed a challenge for some students overseas.
With over 17,000 students and 400 faculty staff, Murray said the institution successfully migrated six of its campuses fully online through the use of Blackboard’s virtual classroom tool technology.
