Higher Education Teaching and Learning

In a recent survey, nearly all higher education chief online officers expected online learning of some kind to be a part of the typical student experience within the next three years. While survey respondents did not necessarily agree on how much online would become the norm, it's clear that hybrid models are favored to dominate instruction by 2025.

Earlier this year, the ANU Service Experience team (previously Experience Accelerator) interviewed remote overseas students about their online learning experience (find out more about the project). While this human-centred design (HCD) research revealed at times a depressing picture of the remote student experience, it also generated a collection of practical suggestions directly from students for how their online experience could be improved. Today, we will share with you their tips and tricks for fostering connection at the start of the semester. 

Some faculty members will continue to teach online and hybrid courses this fall. Here’s what they’ll need.
