The good, the bad and the ugly of online learning

South Africa, like many other countries, quickly went into lockdown last year due to the rapid spread of the Corona virus. A number of people moved from contact schooling and work to virtual learning and remote work.

While this has come with a number of advantages, there are also some disadvantages. The North-West University’s (NWU) School of Philosophy, in partnership with the journal Transformation in Higher Education is hosting a webinar titled: Cheating, dishonesty and plagiarism with online teaching and learning. What are the students saying? Can we fundamentally change it?

The webinar, which is part of the annual Faculty of Humanities Curriculum Conversations Seminar Series, will be held on 27 May 27 from 14:00 to 16:15.

A number of academics, including the NWU’s Dr Yolandi Coetser, Dr Tertia Oosthuizen and Prof Emmanual Mgqwashu will give their perspective on online teaching and learning.

The experts will touch on various perspectives, including the philosophical, ethical, psychological and higher education teaching and learning perspective.
