Session Type: Workshop (2 hours) 

Date: Thursday, 25 February 2021 

Time: 2:00 pm (SAST)

Facilitators:  Shanali Govender, Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT), University of Cape Town, South Africa and Tony Carr, Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching (CILT), University of Cape Town, South Africa  

Description of why the workshop: 

This is a workshop for academics and e-learning professionals in higher education to consider:

1. Emotional boundaries: balancing compassion with self-care

2. Meeting personal and external expectations

3. Finding appropriate support for ourselves

During the difficult period of emergency remote teaching in 2020, many students were faced with immense personal, logistical, and emotional challenges. Many lecturers and professional staff have mentioned that being confronted with these realities made it difficult to establish boundaries between compassion and self-care. On the one hand, lecturers may wish to be a source of support and an anchor for their students. On the other hand, an  emotional involvement in these matters can come at a personal cost (family, research, mental health). At the same time, expectations for and involvement in research projects continue. The question arises: if one cannot check all the boxes, then which boxes should one choose to tick? What if personal or external goals are incompatible with acute responsibilities or needs?

What you will need for the workshop:

Something soothing – tea/ hot water bottle/ pet/ a friend

Paper and pencil

Headphones

A private/ safe place

Descriptions: Our range of experiences of conferences is likely to include excitement, stimulation, inspiration, and connection, but also sometimes boredom, disconnection, a sense of exclusion, and especially this year some technological stress. 2020 has become the year of online conferences. Many well established face-to-face conferences went online as the COVID-19 pandemic completely reconfigured the notion of when and how we meet. The proliferation of online conferences raises several issues including the range of online conference designs used, how these relate to good design practices for conferences in general, and how they relate to good design practices for online events.

In this webinar, Tony will engage participants in a critical and creative conversation about the nature and future of online conferences. The presentation will draw on the literature of face-to-face and online conference design, learning and research from the design of the e/merge conferences and online conferences held this year, reflections on participation in recent online conferences, and statements by designers of several pandemic provoked online conferences. This session will be an improved version of his mLearn 2020 keynote, which was voted best presentation in the conference.
