A delsu student share her first time online lecture experience as Delta state university commences online lecture for students due to coronavirus

Since the beginning of this pandemic, all lives has been affected including undergraduates, it's like pausing everyone now, we are all sitting at home waiting and hoping a cure will come or we just wake up tomorrow that there was no covid 19.

Below is the brief interview with a finally year delsu student

So do you think lockdown is the best way to stop this virus?

It's a yes and no,yes in the sense that the first lock down helped to avoid social contacting and those many parties but the extended one now has turned this thing to politics because telling people to stay at home without food and money is rubbish because people are dying of hunger and 90% of people in Nigeria depends on daily living.

Some universities in Nigeria has adopted online learning including Delta state university. How true is that?

Yes Its true, and it's a good step, it will make the students to still be in line via education.

I guess, this the first time in the history of Delta state university conducting online learning. So what platform is Delta state university using to conduct the online lecture?

A whatsApp group is created for each departments by the coordinators and there's time for different lecturers to take their courses, I even had 2 classes today, they are using voice notes and PDFs and it was really good and nice for delsu to adopt this method

[i][/i][color=#006600][/color] It good but how about those student that has no good phones for the whatapps online learning?

JasonJidenna:
Parents who work hard day and night in their farms just to pay those huge tuition fees will still struggle and look for subscription money for their children to learn online?


The government should be considerate abeg...

O my God! That will be an extra cost on the parent.

My kids school have been using this method of teaching for weeks now, it's cool but a bit time consuming since we're dealing with primary school kids. We can only treat one subject each day, different classes have their own time slots and Whatsapp group. Whenever there's extended power outage, there will be no class for the day. Sadly parents that don't have smartphones or unable to guide their kids will not be able to participate. Nothing beats physical classroom

Can they just adopt this WhatsApp group chat method for our exam jare.
We were about starting exam when coro entered.
