As we’re all learning, the digital classroom can be a cold and lonely space. But even the most reluctant students and academics must remember that online learning has the potential for rich and meaningful interactions. The lack of “temperature” is one reason why many students prefer to learn face to face, meaning that “warming up” the screen needs to become a priority for educators − especially for video-based tutorials and seminars via platforms such as Zoom. This does not just mean warmth in tone of voice. It’s about designing spaces, educator performances and learning programmes that make students feel welcome and included.
