With lectures, labs, and group work getting more tech-dependent, is a 100% remote setup realistic long-term, or does hybrid still hit the sweet spot for engagement and flexibility? Labs and hands-on courses clearly need physical presence, but theory-heavy subjects could survive entirely digital. What’s your take—should universities commit to one approach, or does flexibility win here?
Should universities go fully online or keep hybrid models?

Looks a lot like how businesses shifted during COVID—remember when offices went fully remote overnight? Some companies thrived with the flexibility, especially for desk jobs, but others realized that collaboration dried up without those in-person "water cooler" moments. Universities are the same: streaming lectures is like your Zoom office meetings, great for theory but completely misses the hands-on stuff like labs or chemistry experiments. Hybrid is like the modern workplace—gives you the best of both worlds. You keep the theoretical courses online for flexibility (and that 2 AM study session), but bring students back for labs or group projects where physical presence actually matters. Nailing that balance? That’s the real test.
