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.

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.
