Show Notes
This episode and blog post accompany our May-June ‘Hot Topic’: “Teaching and Learning during a Pandemic: Lessons and reflections from the last year” and our "EUSA Teaching Awards 2021 Podcast Series".
In this episode, Rohanie, a Peer Learning Coordinator at Edinburgh University Students' Association, sits down with Dr. Nikki Moran, a Senior Lecturer in Music at the University of Edinburgh, and two of her students, Tyler and Nicholas, to reflect on their experiences teaching and learning during the pandemic.
The group's conversation touches on fascinating questions in response to a year of online learning, including, if we're no longer going into lecture halls, where is academia? In what ways have our day-to-day schedules changed, and how have we repurposed our time? And maybe most importantly, how will we remember this time, and what will we take with us? We hope you enjoy this thought-provoking conversation and that it encourages you to begin your reflection on this past year of teaching and learning.
