对于教师来讲，我们也要花更多精力调整讲课方式、语速、课件等，尽量使网课不那么枯燥。”比利时荷语布鲁塞尔自由大学讲师张蕾表示，“我们被迫取消很多实践及动手类的课程。比如我这学期的课程原本是要带学生们去参观欧盟机构、各大公司，与一线管理技术人员交流座谈，但现在只能变成讲理论和基础知识的网课。肯定是有很多遗憾，但目前来讲，也没有别的解决办法。”

"For teachers, we need to put more effort into adjusting teaching methods, speed of speech, and coursewares in order to make the lessons less boring. " Zhang Lei, a teacher from Free University of Brussels in Belgium said that, "We are forced to cancel many practical and hands-on courses. For example, my plan for the course this semester was to bring students on a tour in EU institutes and big companies, as well as in an exchange forum with front-line management and technical personnel. But now they have been changed to online ones about theory and basic knowledge. That is definitely a pity, but there is no other solution now. "
