This came on the margins of an
electronic debate workshop that was recently organized by the British Council,
in which members of the British Council’s UK Alumni Network from several
countries in the world participated.

Dr. Al Khalifa explained the
timeline that UOB scheduled to ensure the continuation of the educational
process during the period of precautionary measures after the suspension of classes,
noting that the University’s experience was admired by the participants in the
workshop, especially by the University College London, which is one of the most
prestigious universities in the United Kingdom and the second party in the
debate.

interaction with each of the educational tools offered by the distance learning
system.

Also, she reported that UOB is
developing electronic content for all academic courses, stating that

learning.”

It is worth noting that Dr. Fay Al
Khalifa is a member of the British Council’s UK Alumni Network.
