Campus Review Podcasts

The COVID-19 pandemic had witnessed a mass migration to online learning, with some Australian universities being more experienced at it than other,Campus Review spoke to Associate Professor Petrea Redmond of the University of Southern Queensland(USQ), and a member of the Australian Association of Research in Education. The expert in online learning said that, while “there has been much talking about technology... educators need to consider equally the teaching methods being deployed."During the podcast Redmond, who has been teaching online at USQ since 2000, said educators have been "thrown into this new environment "and it's understandable if lessons don't work out as well as intended."She said there have been a host of success stories, as well as times when things didn't go to plan. The trick, she says is "We need to be forgiving of each other."In essence, Redmond does not believe there is any difference is the quality of online versus face-to-face education; "it all comes down to context," she says.
