Final Thoughts<br />

Necessity is the mother of invention and the current pandemic has led to the development of<br />

multiple tools for learning and teaching. There is an overwhelming amount of resources and<br />

information on online and remote learning that may be meant for good, but in reality, can<br />

cause a sense of panic. Keeping the student engaged is the key to keeping them learning. We<br />

need to be prepared and planning for remote teaching and not wait for a crisis or disruptor<br />

such as the <strong>COVID</strong>-<strong>19</strong> pandemic to push us to change or embrace this method. In the<br />

healthcare field, remote learning is not a replacement for the traditional method but a<br />

balanced blend between the two will be an education equaliser. We are only restricted by our<br />

own imaginations on how we can create opportunities for new ways of learning and teaching<br />

and delivering health care.<br />
