How did you survive COVID-19 so far?
Share a laugh
COVID-19 has had an impact on us all. Educators have had to teach themselves new pedagogical methods and mediums and make sure education remained meeting quality standards. Working with new digital resources and in a new environment has changed the face of higher education; for students, teachers, support staff, for everybody. No more lectures or working groups with students; no more lunch walks or coffee breaks with colleagues; empty campuses...

She introduced an informal and fun way of working: in groups participants made a drawing or meme to express their group's findings. This resulted in this padlet:
