Pandemic shifting learning environments at Sask. universities
Post-secondary institutions in Saskatchewan are positioning themselves for change that will last long after COVID-19 restrictions are lifted in the province.
University of Regina interim provost david Gregory can’t envision what life on campus will look like in the future, but he knows the typical crowds packing into lecture halls won’t be the same.
“I don’t think we’ll ever go back to a pre-COVID reality, but we need to consider a blended approach to teaching and learning,” he said.
“I don’t think you’ll see us return to 16,000 or 19,000 students on campus on a Monday with 2,000 faculty members — I think you’ll see a version of that.”
