Topics
Kevin and Laura have been involved in activities teaching online as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and they shared some of their experiences with us. In particular, Kevin spoke about relating the theory and practice of blended learning, working with Moodle and also the positives and negatives of using Zoom. Laura contributed to this part and also, as she is about to start face-to-face teaching, to the section from Neil about contact teaching.
