There was a story in the Norwich Evening News the other day headlined “UEA students voice frustration as remote learning is retained.”
The gist was that second year undergraduate psychology students are apparently questioning why so much of their learning will still be taking place in front of a screen rather than in a lecture hall, having received an email that said that three out of five lectures will be online this coming semester.
We’ve been here before, of course. In the story the students question how effective “isolated learning” will be and the impact it could have on mental health, as well as raising concerns about the need for good internet connections in student homes.
