Face to face lectures at University of Cambridge have been suspended 
until mid 2021.

This is a prudent move, as lectures are high risk for COVID19, and don't 
provide better educational outcomes that video. Like Cambridge I expect 
Australian universities will start with small group teaching and not 
have large scale lectures for at least a year (if ever).

ps: I was invited to tell Cambridge University staff how to do eLearning 
while on a visit in 2015.

Dr Danny Kingsley, then Head of the Office of Scholarly Communication at 
Cambridge, took some notes.
