What is Remotely Learning?

An ongoing conversation between a college professor and an undergraduate student about our frustrations with remote education, and an open notebook documenting our iterative efforts to spend less time on Zoom and make this a little less awful for everyone.

Why should I listen to Remotely Learning?

  • because you are fed up with teaching over Zoom

  • because you are tired of staring at your professors on Zoom

  • because you want to hear how students are experiencing all this

  • because you are no longer convinced that remote college has to be worse than being in the same room, and looking for ideas to make your classes better

  • because you want to know more about design and what it has to do with journalism education
