                        (1) For the retical courses or seminars, lecturers should put emphasis on blended learning which combines asynchronous learning in which students can learn on their own anytime, anywhere; and synchronous learning that allows students of the entire class to discuss and learn together at the same time in a ratio best suited to the nature of the courses.

                                    (A) In case of asynchronous Learning, students’ self-directed learning objectives should be clearly specified.

                                    (B) Synchronous learning should not be a one-way instruction by lecturers, but focuses on participatory learning between students and teachers, e.g. discussions, problem-solving exercises, or problem-based learning.

                        (2) For practicums, instructors should use a blended learning method, through learning management systems such as MyCourseville, Blackboard, or Google Classroom, in conjunction with on-site practical learning.  Instructors may consider a ratio of these methods as appropriate while allowing for some flexibility.

                        Practicums include courses that require individual or group practical skills activities (e.g. studio, skill, performing, ensemble classes), as well as other courses that have similar teaching and learning styles.

                        (3) In the case of Synchronous Virtual Learning, e.g. Zoom, MS Teams, or Google Meet,  instructors shall organize classes during the normal course periods. If it is necessary to arrange the courses outside normal hours, instructors and students shall mutually agree on the appropriate dates and times.

                        (3) Each work section may consider adjusting the duration of an internship, a field trip or a domestic study tour for each course by doing one of the followings:

                                    (A) Shorten the duration of an internship, a field trip or a study tour as needed and in accordance with the situation.

                                    (B) Separate or spread the internship, field trip or study tour over appropriate intervals without affecting or posing a risk to the health or safety of the interns.

                                    (C) Alternate internships, field trips or study tours with regular courses in the original educational management plan designed and specified in TQF2.

                        (4) Work Sections may consider adjusting the format of the internship, field trip or domestic study tour for each course as appropriate by coordinating with establishments or professional organizations.

                        Cancellation, period adjustment, and format adjustment of internships, excursions or domestic study tours for each course must not affect the standards or requirements of each professional body.
