We design in February for a student cohort we will meet in 7 months time.

With the shift to online I have been able to split delivery to suit the week's ILO. Instead of two hours of a straight Production Design lecture for example we split the content across the week. We did a half hour recorded intro. 15 min recorded task with homework. A 30min walk around of a studio set and a 30-40min live session at the end of the week. We would never get this flexibility physically unfortunately and it is a shame. We are forced in to repetition based on room rotation rather than craft specific pedagogy.

Years of a fixed timetable and 9-5 schooling has left them lacking in true independence in terms of only "working when watched".

At the moment, Level and course ILO's have been met before Covid-19. We would struggle if this lasted a year as staff and students see our course as an apprenticeship gateway to real careers. You can't hone a craft without tools and physical external experiences.

    - concerns for international students
    - students who have kit, materials and couldn't return them
    - sudden shift has an impact on courses that are marketed as a physical production course.
    - Student productions cancelled at the point of actual filming. 
    - Student expectations in relation to creative courses. Can't reproduce the experience of working on a film set online. 
    - Resistance from certain staff and practitioners due to their skillsets?
    - There is a relationship between materials and pedagogy and space in creative HE and this is also something that can't be experienced and taught online.
    - If lockdown is long term how can we reimagine material based practice?
    - Also provision of online software and issues around access to software.
    - Question re which students have access to laptops, software.
    - What happens to the students that we lose through this? How do we re-engage them?
    - Cost of software and licesnse.
    - Point re costs is that the university doesn't take the arts seriously. 
    - The variable issues faced by different subjects within creative HE points to its multiplicity. 
    - Emotional management of students not valued or incorporated into staff workloads.

    - Emerging widening gap when using office/administrative/business/ conferencing tools/platforms for creative arts. These platforms don't allow for nuance. 
    - Platforms and technologies need to allow for nuance and creative sensitivity, this requires a rethinking of how we enable this through current technology. ]]>     2020-05-06 14:28:46 UTC https://padlet.com/creativehecovid/7ggkvayrx315r9fz/wish/554905487     The Difference Between Emergency Remote Teaching and Online Learning creativehecovid https://padlet.com/creativehecovid/7ggkvayrx315r9fz/wish/554922996 2020-05-06 14:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/creativehecovid/7ggkvayrx315r9fz/wish/554922996 Other impacts re online teaching tamsyndent https://padlet.com/creativehecovid/7ggkvayrx315r9fz/wish/554928914 - How can we ethically design a course for students that are spread internationally in different time zones?
    - New forms of delivery, need to rethink the timescale and mode of delivery. How can we think about news ways of teaching and new forms of connectivity?
    - Curricumum design. What does the curriculum matrix look like for creative arts?
    - Question of how are we able to 'be' with students without triggering issues of surveillence. 
    - Issue for students who have caring responsibilities or other work responsibilities. Challenge with meeting the indiviudal needs of students. 
    - Don't want the fact that courses have been moved online to be used as a rationale for a wider shift towards online delivery.

    - There are some students who have been able to adjust and adapt very quickly. 
    - These courses reflect the reality of the world around us now. 
    - New forms of connectivity.
    - There's an interesting connectivity between industry and academia in that the students are expereincing same issues that the industry are.

It is by no means complete and really we have just begun the discussions but with 100% turnout each week and some interesting ideas it has proved a lifeline for me as I am forced to shield at the moment.

Ensuring the parity of experience without wasting their time and additional funds will be a delicate balancing act.

In addition to the value of each case by country, the synthesis of this research suggests that the current practices  can  be  defined  as  emergency  remote  education  and  this  practice  is  different  from  planned practices such as distance education, online learning or other derivations. Above all, this study points out how social injustice, inequity and the digital divide have been exacerbated during the pandemic and need unique and targeted measures if they are to be addressed.”                                                                                                                                                                                                                   An extract from the journal:                                                                                                                                                                                        Pedagogy of care, affection, and empathy With  the  uncertainty  that  characterizes  this  period  of  human  existence  and  the  resulting  anxiety  and trauma  that  learners,  teachers  and  parents  are  experiencing,  the  theme  of  a  pedagogy  of  care  has surfaced within educational institutions. While the theme of care in education has become popularised during the crisis, it is a crucial element in learning that has always been needed, and that will continue to be essential long after Covid-19 (Bali, 2020a). Nonetheless, the emotional ramifications resulting from the  trauma  caused  by  this  pandemic  require  intentional  designs  and  practices  that  embody  care, inclusion, compassion, and empathy as core values (Zembylas, 2013). A care approach to education pushes educators to recognize and address the diversity of students’ experiences and vulnerabilities, allowing them to be more receptive not only to the assumed needs of students but also their expressed and individual needs. This requires structures and practices that go beyond academia andprioritizes the emotionaland psychological development and needs of students, especially during times of crisis. Concerned Academics (2020) outlined a ‘Social Pedagogy’; an approach that is: “consultative, inclusive, and sensitive to the contexts of students, teachers and theircommunities.  It  works  toward  a  mutually  supportive  framework  that  will  carry  our pedagogic work through the current crisis, into a period of just recovery, and a  more equitable future.”                                                                                                      ]]> 2020-06-10 06:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/creativehecovid/7ggkvayrx315r9fz/wish/620068502
