Students are attending between 1 and 4 lectures every 3 weeks, avoiding lectures - a University of the Western Cape study revealed.

“About 37% of the student said they were too busy studying for tests, 28% said lectures were not stimulating enough, and 22% believed the need to complete assignments was too great,” the study indicated.

Researchers said students would increasingly learn through flexible online learning, and, going forward, a hybrid model of virtual learning and face-to-face lectures and tutorials would be implemented in the tertiary space. Such has been the uptake that earlier this year, the “Global E-Learning Industry” report, released by market data company ReportLinker, found that the global market for e-learning is expected to grow from $250.8-billion in 2020 to $457.8-billion in 2026.

Meanwhile, online learning solution provider New Leaf Technologies has recently become an official distributor of the Netherlands-based Cirrus assessment platform in South Africa, which is designed to help universities prepare for the future.
