For this response, I focus on Boliang Li’s blog:

The idea of distributed education, particularly this example of your present studies in China, is extremely important, and it reminds me of my learning experiences during the pandemic, which were unexpected, but certain classes did teach knowledge better through distributed education. Furthermore, I believe that your understanding of distributed education is quite appropriate. Learning in person is my preferred approach for the same reasons as well; nevertheless, the flexibility that open learning provides is also helpful. I am hoping that each of us has a wonderful season.
