Current events are forcing colleges and universities around the world to move courses online. Despite the dire global situation, advances in streaming and video technology have changed the way distance learning is done. With minimal preparation, it's easy to set up a virtual classroom for students to watch video lectures as live or on-demand video.
The current global health situation suggests that teachers may be giving lectures in front of the camera for some time. Demand for online learning will continue to grow even after the COVID-19 pandemic ends. The school has been working to add more students, and online courses and diplomas are a key part of the admissions push. International and rural students often face significant cost and travel-related barriers to attending top schools. At the same time, some students have accessibility issues and are unable to attend classes in person. Videos provide students with a way to remove these barriers with minimal effort and investment.
