Looking forward to hearing more about students' experiences of online teaching. Thanks @MaxineDavid for this great idea! It helps us avoid the trap of thinking only from teacher perspective. #PSAwebinar

Main challenges: lack of social interaction, feeling of isolation, technical problems that can hinder participation, disconnect with the deeper purpose of studying (I find that interesting!) & lots of insecurity regarding the future from the career point of view. #PSAwebinbar
In terms of workload: teachers tend to overcompensate by increasing the nr of activities; there is also a large variety of methods and tools used, not a lot of coordination so that can lead to cognitive overload. #PSAwebinar
Group work: can be quite difficult online, especially without a f2f kick-off meeting. Need to be very organised and manage the workflows in a group. There are many tools available but the processes are not very familiar to students (yet). #PSAwebinar
Getting used to the new tools and finding the right balance in terms of group work dynamics can be time consuming, this should be taken into account. #PSAwebinar
Important question: how often do we need to reach out to students, do we have the right communication channels & strategies? I personally think this is something we really need to work on, as it is even more important online than f2f. #PSAwebinar
Access to books & resources can really be an issue when learning remotely. This is something we might easily forget. Let's be mindful of what our students can access when we assign readings. #PSAwebinar
Learning online can also have (sometimes unexpected) positive aspects (let's not forget that!)- self-organisation, familiarity with online learning & work environments and tools, saves commute time & energy. #PSAwebinar
