At the beginning of this year, when COVID-19 was just starting to cross our radar in the United States, universities in China were already closing their campuses and making the quick shift to online learning. One of the first institutions Campus Technology profiled about its experiences with remote learning was Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, an international institution of about 14,000 students located 50 miles west of Shanghai.

Recently, the university reached out again with an update: It's stepping things up for the fall semester by outfitting classrooms for the HyFlex model, so that instructors can teach both remote and face-to-face students simultaneously. For this episode of the podcast, I talked to Roland Sherwood, manager of the educational technologies team, to find out more.
