Topics

Pete and Laura have been involved in activities moving learning online as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and they shared some of their experiences with us. In particular, Pete gave a perspective from the teacher side, while Laura had some interesting insights into the learner side. Neil contributed to these perspectives and I also had an interesting discussion with him about what might be happening in the future. 

Laura also told us about a MOOC she is involved in for native speakers of English learning Spanish and of Spanish learning English. The link is here: mooc.speakapps.org
