Effective Use of Blended Learning and Assessment Strategies amidst and Post-COVID-19 Dispensation

Abstract: No doubt, prior to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, the use of technology for education delivery and instruction is already synonymous with teaching, learning and assessment processes. The strategy, which blends traditional education model of face-to-face in-classroom instruction with the use of technology and digital media afford students the opportunity of interacting in real-time in peer-groups or with instructors and even participate in lectures virtually if the need arises (such as the total lockdown). For the fact that Nigerian education system has no adequate facilities to go virtual in teaching and learning amidst COVID-19 pandemic (during schools lockdown), it is hereby concluded that effective use of blended teaching-learning and assessment strategies should be adopted. Part of the recommendations was that teachers and students should acquire necessary skills for the use of blended learning tools. Governments and relevant agencies should provide supportive facilities for e-Learning (online and offline) needed for effective use of blended learning and assessment. Also, parents and guidance should collaborate for effective use of blended teaching-learning strategy. This will help our education system to surmount the impact of the pandemic on teaching and learning, and be on the global pedestal in post-COVID-1 9 dispensation.
