Universitas Brawijaya (UB) will still conduct online learning in the next semester due to the COVID-19 pandemic which is still spreading.
Vice Rector I for Academic Affairs Prof. Aulanni’am explained that online learning is still carried out in synchronous and asynchronous forms.
“Synchronous Learning is learning online at the same time, learning directly, and being directly involved,” said Prof. Aul.
Not only Synchronous Learning, UB also does it asynchronously. Asynchronous Learning is online learning at different times.
