Ever since the summer of 2020, we’ve seen multiple attempts at polling on post-pandemic blended learning that have been getting closer and closer to telling us what we ought to do next.
This year’s Advance HE/HEPI Student Academic Experience Survey gets closer than most – but sadly we’re still not quite there.
For the first time, the survey posed questions on what proportion of UK undergraduate students’ lectures and labs/seminars took place in the 2021-22 academic year (with fieldwork carried out in Feb/Mar this year).
Ignore for now that at least some students in the sample will not be on “September start” academic years, and plenty of students will be experiencing teaching formats other than something that the survey calls “lectures”, “seminars” or “labs”.
