How can we rebuild and develop the curriculums to make them updated with the online teaching period?
Should we include more practices and assignments instead of exams and tests? or can we include guests speakers, creative homeworks, and social media assignments*?
*Social media assignments: When we ask students to write and inform their followers about something they studied.
المناهج بشكل عام هي فن وإتقان ويحتاج الأمر إلى وضع معايير جديدة تتلاءم مع التعليم الإلكتروني بحيث تبنى المناهج في ضوئها

Hi! Curriculum questions are mainly about WHAT to teach, not about HOW (classroom or online or blended, using constructivism or constructionism or some other pedagogy). It is possible to teach terribly with modern digital tools, and the other way around. Exceptions may be courses about using new technology in teaching.
What digital/Internet-based ICTs have done so far in education is to lower the friction of information a lot. This is not a new phenomena, it began with invention of writing. In the society outside education and schooling, digital ICTs are also used for information processing outside biological brains, by machines and algorithms. Education is soon arriving there, with ICTs as learning analytics and adaptive learning.
I do not think that we need to change the curricula during the Covid 19 period, but it is related to the style and method of the teacher and his ability to communicate the idea of the topic to the students. Later, I noticed an increase in student participation in the lesson and everyone joining the class. The intention is to break the students ’barrier of fear.
I fully agree with Anders Norberg. It is necessary to develop adaptive approaches, making extensive use of various feedback tools and automatic content generation.
