You don't *need* any videos. Asynch is an opportunity to think: what activities, done over more time, would benefit my students. How does this format allow me & their peers to engage differently with their thinking. Point them at existing content & then focus on designing tasks.
Replying to @ProfDuff
Thanks! Was trying to think about how many videos I need…that’s the really new part of this for me.

This is me! I am the lady in the middle with the glasses 🤓
General vibe from the audience tonight has been ‘Push the boats back mid Channel’ or (yes honestly) ‘Stab the boats!’ Then this lady spoke 👏 ‘There’s been so much effort put in for this Rwanda policy to work, when it doesn’t even deal with the root cause of the problem’ #bbcqt

What are your favourite online learning (or distance / remote / e-learning or other related terms) papers? Covid or pre-Covid. I'm doing a review and wondering what people's most valued papers are.
