Universities' move online 'must be done the right way'
Harry Ashworth should be in the final term of his first year at Oxford University, studying music.
"Psychologically when you are at home it is different. When I am in my tutor's office I feel a bit more inspired."Along with students around the world, Harry is getting used to the realities of online learning as part of the global lockdowns in response to the coronavirus pandemic. "Lots of universities have shut down and asked professors to move lectures online and I think that many more universities should actually go in this direction, but they need to do it the right way. Don't have professors speaking for two hours. Adopt the entire pedagogy of online learning."Students who are refugees, or others who could never afford a traditional university education, are set weekly homework and assignment tasks.
"That traditional model of 18-to-21 year-olds who go to university, live in halls, is simply not feasible for a lot of people - those with caring responsibilities or those with financial restraints."
