Connected Conversations: The Teaching, Learning and Assessment Practices Experienced in Higher Education Colleges Association (HECA) Colleges during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

The role of dialogue in higher education is vital in facilitating an open exchange and deep understanding of diverse perspectives. This title of this work, “Connected Conversations”, echoes the process of analysis and reflection undertaken by staff and students across the Higher Education Colleges Association (HECA) during a time of great disruption and transformational change in the sector. The conversations that form the central part of this research carry important dialogues that illustrate the first-hand experiences of staff and students learning, teaching and supporting learning during the earlier stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.
