Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic led to an unprecedented crisis for most people and organizations. The UTM, its staff and students were no exception. UTM chose a combination of face-to-face delivery of courses and learning, and other methods of online delivery and learning in its blended learning approach. Preliminary findings and focus groups with students and staff have undoubtedly revealed some areas requiring improvement or change in UTM's approach of blended learning which has informed the new semester in the post-lockdown period which started on 5 October 2020. Evaluation of the outgoing semester of March 2020 and extended to August 2020 has provided evidence that UTM was largely up to the mark in adapting to a crisis situation through a strategy of building databases, controlled inclusiveness, flexibility, adaptability, capacity building, speed of decision-making, co-operation and teamwork between administration and academic staff, open and swift communications with stakeholders.
