From the article:
Connecting with students is one of the most rewarding aspects of a professor’s job.  Some faculty hesitate to teach online, frequently offering the rationale: “I want to connect with my students. There’s just not enough interaction and engagement online!”  Faculty are not alone in yearning for this connection – students want it too!

From the description:
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the 2020 CGHE conference did not go ahead as planned on 1 April at Senate House, University of London. Instead we are bringing to a larger worldwide audience the pick of this year’s conference discussion as a webinar series. The second webinar in the conference paper series focuses on aspects of academic work and careers, including Diana Laurillard and Eileen Kennedy on the role of online learning in professional education, now more important in the pandemic, and findings from three years of research on the UK academic profession by Celia Whitchurch, Giulio Marini and William Locke.

Can we grasp higher education’s newfound interest in online learning to create a different model for knowledge exchange with professionals?
