Get quality learning with the online course options offered by Wits Plus and Wits Language School.Covid-19 forced many institutions and schools to change the method of delivery of lessons and courses, and as a result online learning had been growing in popularity. In December 2019,revealed that about 35% of all tertiary students in 2018 were enrolled in at least one online course.

Courses that are designed to be online — online learning — require a different conceptualisation and approach. A good online course won’t be made of hundreds of pages of notes to read and sharing of the lecturer’s slides. It also won’t be a regular lecture. Instead, online courses typically use a variety of interactive videos, discussions, collaborations, automated quizzes and assignments. Learning also tends to be asynchronous — that is not in real time — unlike traditional learning.

Replacing things is more expensive, but it gives you the option of choosing what you want everything to look like. You can make the space work better for you, add that jacuzzi tub you want, or redesign the overall appearance. Of course, this takes time and money.The remote learning that many people are doing as a temporary measure may have a fresh coat of paint, but the cupboards and carpets of the traditional classroom have been resized for a new room in most instances.
