Schools and colleges are all closed nationally in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, but for Kabarak University, lessons go on uninterrupted, albeit virtually.

For every student, a lesson after the other comes on through notifications that pop up on the screen of a computer or mobile phone or on email. The notification indicates whether there is a planned discussion, an assignment or a web-conferencing.
