How to administer the digital migration

attendance will be monitored - why???

• Benjamin Tak Yuen Chan writing in Times Higher Education reports that the transition to online teaching in response to Covid-19 has precipitated a blizzard of advice from all corners of the globe. Concerns include how to measure #attendance. Some credible suggested alternatives include tracking student's progress in virtual learning environments such as Blackboard and Moodle. Is it time for academics to explore and change their #pedagogy? • #contact hours - Several institutions are already using synchronous and asynchronous online delivery to try an equate the right amount of contact hours with some successes. What can all learn from these models? • #Teaching quality will always be difficult to change and improve because some academics do not take part in peer reviews to learn from each other. • #Assessments - Students want to know what the assessment is and how to pass it! Online assessments in #highereducation are a practical way forward which would give the students more scope and markers less stress. • #studentsuccess - Whilst supporting the move to online delivery I do have significant reservations in terms of helping students currently in isolation and those who feel that they are at risk or not coping or have mental health issues.
