Times Higher Education’s Digital Teaching Survey results

Good work Paul and thanks for sharing these findings. Hope someone takes note. If one were to look at protected characteristics (like gender, age, race, ability and so on) and how this has been integrated into this migration to online learning, the report might make depressing reading.

It'd be nice to see UK data separated out

Very interesting data indeed. I suppose there are advantages and disadvantages in both situations (f2f vs working from home). Staff meetings can also bring out differences between people and their perceptions of life during the pandemic. There are some who are happy to have more time to spend with family. Howeverm there are also others (mostly international staff, but not necessarily just them) who have been separated from their families and loved ones for almost a year, or perhaps someone has been shielding because of a health condition, or perhaps they are expected to continue working as if the pandemic never happened but in small living conditions with added utility bills and so on... and can barely stomach to hear another "oh it's been so nice to spend time in the garden with my children, we observed all the bees, flowers and critters... feeling so blessed..." This doesn't necessarily mean that they want to go back to work in the office. Perhaps they are battling with anxiety and the worry of having to work in unsafe conditions. Ultimately, I think we could all try to be a bit kinder and not assume everyone is having a good time working from home. For the most diverse reasons, some people prefer to work from home and others don't. What I found interesting is that, according to the data here, it seems that senior managers across the globe are the only ones who clearly prefer to work remotely. Senior managers... I wonder why...
