Academics aren’t content creators, and it’s regressive to make them so

Spot in David. This thing is coming to bite us now. But thankfully i think the students are coming to realise that in class teaching and being part of the community is a more enjoyable way of receiving knowledge.

Everything in HE evolves around changing the learning environment to suit the learner - what happened to students learning ways to adapt to the environment to improve their performance or learning? We used to have a diversity of teaching styles - for better or for worse. Now HE attempts to standardize all teaching delivery formats - does this foster creativity and diversity, or kills it? Our approach to education contributes to creating generations of snowflakes. I have students who are so stressed with the lockdown (just the lockdown, not actually getting covid), that they lost their ability to Google search for solutions to their problems. It appears to me that as students spent more time in 'education', they are educated less.
