Some good points made in this article. Don’t think that necessarily there is too little support available to academics wishing to successfully adapt their teaching in the face of Covid 19. The issue is the will and the time to take advantage of that support. In a Zoom session I attended recently (on improving student belonging and engagement) it was largely education-support staff talking to education-support staff with little evidence of the wider (teaching) academic community engaging. ‘Just getting by with the teaching’ is probably what many academics will settle for, as there still persists much more profitable (career-wise) goals to pursue.
