@UM_HATLab @CdnTogether Thank you so much Dr. El-Gabalawy!

@KarenBDougherty Hi Karen, I am looking into Covid's impact on mental health for one of my university courses. Considering you are very educated in the field, how would you suggest the general public combat mental health decline during the pandemic?

@Aspertypical Hi Hannah! Were the results of this survey published anywhere? I would love to check it out.

@JamilElfarra Hi Dr. ElFarra! Do you have any general advice you would give to those struggling with their mental health due to the Covid-19 pandemic?

@DrJyoti1902 @psych_in_bpl @DrHarish139 @milantheshrink @psyched05 @netshrink Hi Dr. Sangle! I really enjoyed this article. As a university student who is investigating Covid-19's impact on mental health, I would really appreciate your input. What suggestions would you give to university students who are struggling with the mental health impacts of Covid?

Ultimately, the solution to this problem will involve improving individual wellness. A more difficult challenge is figuring out how exactly one will improve their wellness during this time.

I have decided to look into the problem of the Covid-19 pandemic's impact on mental health. This locally-produced article provides a ton of great information on the problem. #EM203problem #EM203Robin

Here are some photos pulled from the article that summarize "Covid Stress Syndrome" which approximately 16% of adults are experiencing "severely"

What a fascinating article that is very relatable to our course! Estonia's early investment into digital learning has lead to a smooth transition to remote learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Maybe Canada and many other countries can learn from this model! #EM203Robin

@EM203_MitchM It certainly is an additional challenge on our focus being at home all the time! Let me know if you find out any additional tips to avoid multi-tasking and focus on our digital learning!

[ColinPrenticeEM203 @ColinEm203]

This week's lesson reaffirmed a bad habit that I experience as a "digital native": multi-tasking. Although we tend to perform multiple tasks at once with multiple devices and priorities, performance deteriorates in at least one task - especially in an academic setting #EM203Robin

[ColinPrenticeEM203 @ColinEm203]

@EM203ABondale Exactly. Even with webcams, sometimes I still find it easy to get distracted with other things on our screen. Will be making it a focus to shut those off moving forward!

[ColinPrenticeEM203 @ColinEm203]

@EM203LPiersanti Great to hear, Lucas! I have a bad habit of doing work while the TV is on or music is playing, but I am certainly going to try to make a change as well!

[ColinPrenticeEM203 @ColinEm203]

@Prerna_EM203 This course is certainly relevant this term, more than ever! I have a feeling we will continue to see a shift towards digital learning even after the pandemic is over.

[ColinPrenticeEM203 @ColinEm203]

@hanaaismail_EM We certainly have an immense amount of information at the ready in this digital age. I'm excited to continue to focus on the positives and upsides of digital learning throughout our course! :)

[ColinPrenticeEM203 @ColinEm203]

@EM203vgeimer Hey Vincent! I also had a shocking discovery of the impact of multi-tasking on my ability to recall through that experiment. I will definitely be incorporating that into my study habits moving forward!

[ColinPrenticeEM203 @ColinEm203]

@aliciaEM203 Agreed! I was shocked to see how many less words I could recall while I read them listening to music as opposed to completely focused. I may need to change up some of my study habits!
