= The New Normal Learning (NNL) Framework = The COVID-19 outbreak has compelled many academic institutions to immediately switch to online/remote education and thus created a new paradigm in education. In this new paradigm in education, the New Normal Learning (NNL) Framework  was developed to guide the design of flexible, effective, and meaningful online and blended-learning environments. The framework was adapted from Khan's (2005) E-learning Framework.

In the NNL Framework, the inner octagon represents the characteristics of the new normal learning environment while the outer octagon represents the guiding elements to help the design of the learning environment. For example, in the new normal, learners will require learning environments with characteristics as interactive/engaging, device independent, usable/accessible, single objective focused, short duration, retention boosting/just-in-time, independent but part of the whole, and cost effective. The NNL Framework provides proper guidance to design such environments. The following graphic presents the NNL framework with its octagonal dimensions of guidance for the new normal in education.
