Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has rendered nearly every aspect of society incapacitated. However, the advancement of communication technology has given rise to a substitute that can ensure the continuation of numerous industries, particularly education. Synchronous communication tools like Webex, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and others have made it possible for students and teachers to communicate as if they were in-person class interaction. This paper present and discuss the potential and challenges of synchronous communication to be adapted in post COVID-19 era of higher learning institution. This was done using an in-depth interview method with 13 informants who were students at higher education institutions. The data was transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. While adaptation of synchronous communication in teaching and learning potentially materialised hybrid classes or alternative delivery, yet various challenges were found need to be addressed.
