Lessons from the Pandemic: Making the Most of Technologies in Teaching
Universities UK
Universities across the country have been welcoming students back in person. While campuses are busy with students again, many universities are exploring how they can complement and enhance students' experience by drawing on the lessons learned during the pandemic. Returning to a pre-pandemic world, without any reflection or change, is not realistic or desirable. Universities are committed to learning from this period and embracing change where it has the potential to enhance quality and the student experience. Thirteen member universities came together in March and April 2021 for a series of discussions. They shared their experiences on the benefits of online learning, plans to permanently change teaching, and the online student experience. This briefing draws on the evidence from these discussions and from nationally available data and research into student experience.
