| Sumario: | COVID-19 has lasted for almost two years since December 2019. One consequence of COVID-19 is the disruption of formal study of students at different levels, including university students. One question that educators and allied health professionals should answer is whether online teaching and learning impair the learning quality of students as well as their quality of life. At The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, we have offered a subject entitled "Tomorrow's Leaders" since 2012. Under COVID-19, a previous study based on the perceptions of students showed that students generally had positive perceptions of the online mode of the subject. In this paper, we present additional findings based on online teaching in two semesters. In the first semester of 2020/21 academic year, we conducted the subject in an online synchronous mode. In the second term of 2020/21 academic year, we similarly conducted the subject online in a synchronous manner and students were asked to have self-study online as well (i.e., online blended learning). Overall speaking, findings show that students have positive perceptions of both online synchronous lectures as well as the online synchronous lectures with online self-study (i.e., online blended learning).
