Regular fun quizzes, promoting variety of School/Uni wide activities, fortnightly 'Coffee and Chat' with CERT Mentors throughout Term 1
Challenges are students have lots to juggle as do staff, so time availability isn't always the same so those students limited to working in evenings feel left out, and staff feel pressured to work 24/7

more possibility to get external contributors in to speak due to fewer barriers to travel and less time abstraction.

I'm interested in to get more students to participate in virtual office hours. Has anyone found a way to increase this engagement?

Teams exhaustion, students want to chat but not using microphones, cameras, they prefer to be annonomous.

Using Teams for group working

Interested to know how large student cohorts with small staff teams/teams with part-time staff have created community

Encourage students to work in groups. It is my impression that students are struggling in isolation and group work can help to "force" students to interact with other colleagues. Beware that working in group can also be stressing if the group is dysfunctional.

Agree with Teams exhaustion and with students not wanting to chat or put cameras on, this might be linked to the kinds of students who are attracted to science courses?

Using the online space to meet with small groups of students from a larger cohort. Communication seems to be easier in these settings.

It is important for staff to train students to ask question within a time-frame and not whenever they want. Staff is getting very stressed, as well, and under a lot pressure coming from everywhere (including having little children to teach during the lock-down) and it is important to look after the mental health as well.

Giving students to opportunity to work with academics and teams to shape and create a meaningful community for them

Digital fatigue - but we have taken social activities offline to encourage the community to walk and share through social media

Echoing the earlier comment, the opportunity to speak with international experts has given students a global perspective. This seemed to enhance the learning and the ability to conceptualize potential problem solving

To be honest, I think it was a bit ad hoc. Something we just expected to happen naturally, as a result of ordinary, everyday interaction.  Covid has made me think more carefully - and flexibly - about what a learning community could become.

We have tended to struggle in students eyes with the sense of community, due to lack of a base room and teaching spread across five or six buildings. Some of the ideas from today's meeting show that we could probably generate a sense of community more easily online than in the pre-pandemic style.

Created some seminar preparation and consolidation activities that positively encourage students to work together, rather than alone.

Students have happily contacted me via Teams chat outside of class, rather than email. They also cheerfully join in 1-1 meetings via Teams and my sense is they are more likely to turn up, than when they had to remember to come to my office.  For things like that, the convenience has been great.

I have had very good attendance with online classes and it is apparent that some students join Teams who would not come to a physical class. There are many good reasons why they don't come onto campus e.g. long commute, health issues. Going forward, maybe we should always have some online groups, as a reasonable adjustment for these students.
