The COVID-19 pandemic has become a global challenge that brings major disruptions to the higher education sector. People are asked to stay at home with ongoing lockdowns and national borders are closed to prevent the spread of the COVID-19. Schools and universities are forced to shut down across countries and switch to online teaching platforms. To adapt to the “new normal” amidst the global pandemic, educators are exploring different novel ways to deliver teaching-learning activities. The application of blended synchronous learning (BSL) appears to be a novel pedagogical delivery mode that combines face-to-face classes and remote teaching with the assistance of synchronous technologies to provide more options to students. The objective of this paper is to review the literature on the BSL and explore its application in property courses in an Australian university as an example. This paper demonstrates the roles and values of BSL as a novel delivery mode in the post- pandemic world.
