PAC University on the cutting edge of online learning

PAC University's main administration block.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted businesses globally, with some sectors virtually grinding to a halt. In Kenya, the education sector was one of the hardest hit after President Kenyatta ordered all schools shut. All learning institutions were closed, but for some, that was not the end of learning business. At Pan Africa Christian University (PAC University), learning has continued with minimal interruptions, thanks to the digital learning platform they had acquired some years back.

In the wake of Coronavirus pandemic, the need to observe social distancing the world over has seen learning take place away from the physical classrooms. Even the esteemed Ivy League universities are now offering online classes only. On the other end, many learning institutions have been caught off-guard as they had not prepared for this. Some universities have resorted to what has now come to be termed as Emergency Remote Teaching.
