The lethargy of lectures

During an interview, I was asked: "What has been the impact of the worldwide health crisis on education?" My answer was that the crisis made us realize that there are many pathways to learning.

To be exact, the crisis has catalyzed an overdue transformation in teaching and learning. It forced us to rethink the delivery and reception of education. For some time now, the new industrial revolutions, driven by fast-evolving technologies, have already opened a multitude of possibilities in knowledge sharing and approaches in human understanding. One can argue, however, that only in the past two years had these opportunities been widely considered in the education system. Today, human creativity is more equipped to challenge rigid structures and bureaucracies.
