From Chalkface to Interface: Challenges and Triumphs in Emergency Remote Teaching

While veterans of the virtual learning environment may have found the recent remote teaching requirements a welcome opportunity, most others adopted new technologies and teaching methods on an emergency basis. Our presenters will talk about their own explorations and discoveries as they faced new challenges while trying to maintain teaching quality and learner engagement. It is hoped that all participants will feel free to share their own experiences.
