All are welcome

The aim of this seminar is to initiate a dialogue about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated ‘pivot’ to remote or blended education on the academic community, with particular focus on staff and student well-being and the core university missions of teaching and research. The seminar will commence with three 15-minute presentations by academics working in this area, followed by discussant contributions representing a student, a digital education, and a union perspective. There will be an opportunity following all the presentations for Q&A and a facilitated discussion.

Academic Presentations:

Professor Kalpana Shankar, School of Information and Communication Studies, UCD

Dr. Karl Kitching, School of Education, University of Birmingham

Dr. Darren Webb, School of Education, University of Sheffield

Discussants:

Ms. Asha Woodhouse, President, UCC Students’ Union, 2021/22

Dr. Sarah Thelen, Instructional Designer, Office of the Vice-President for Teaching and Learning, UCC
