Reviews

"Thinking in terms of the post-Covid—or ‘with Covid’—age, I believe it is appropriate to continue using a given level of distance learning alongside regular classes. While it is of course important to offer real-time interactive lessons that offer mo...re spontaneity, I am concerned about students’ levels of access to study environments in cases where there is a mixture of distance and face-to-face classes. When you ask students, many of them say that on-demand videos are better than real-time interactive lessons for allowing them to study at their own pace. " - Konno Hiroyuki
