Abstract

PCF10 Sub-theme: Fostering Lifelong Learning // The spread of Covid-19 has forced many countries to impose lockdowns, for all activities, including teaching and learning. Therefore, all educational institutions suffered a massive setback. Regular classes were cancelled due to a threat to the learners’ and teachers’ lives. One of the most impacts of the pandemic on global education was the abrupt shift from classroom teaching to an online mode of teaching and learning, which affected the teaching and learning process, significantly disrupting the higher education sector. This shift in the mode of teaching has resulted in a significant change in learning, with both positive and negative consequences, and legal education is no exception. // Most of the countries are highly stringent regarding legal education. It discouraged open, distance or online learning in legal education. Online learning is divided into two categories: synchronous and asynchronous. A research analyses whether synchronous learning can be used post-pandemic in legal education and whether blended learning/hybrid teaching can be continued in legal education. During this phase of time where the world is facing a challenge of pandemic and with the advancement of technology, this research paper contends that blended learning can be used in legal education. // Paper ID 0860
