There’s more of the on-line same (but better)

Uni Sydney is delaying semester two by three weeks (to August 24) to, “give teaching staff the opportunity to build upon learnings from semester one in the preparation of on-line teaching for semester two.” “The volume of learning” will not change, with exams finishing on December 12.

Vice Chancellor Michael Spence tells staff he does not expect physical distancing rules, “to change soon” but there is planning for “some elements” of face-to-face teaching, “in the coming weeks.”

However, remote-learning will be in place for all of the semester.
