In this week's blogpost @NevilleMorley reflects on how his experience of being a student 'on the other side of the screen' this year has changed his own teaching practice https://t.co/ZqPnlKXugE @cucdbulletin

'Machine translation ought to be part of the solution. A discipline of proud linguists may find this difficult to accept, but it’s already happening, and we need to make the most of it.' Head to https://t.co/9INXZ1UDQN for @MariaPretzler's post on languages & machine translation

We're also looking for new blog posts in our pandemic pedagogy series - get in touch if you're interested! @cucdbulletin

[CUCD Education @CommitteeCucd]

Many thanks to @anactoriaclarke for her blog post on 'Eliciting student voices in the era of 'Zoom fatigue''! https://t.co/dCN15nFe7G Please do share your thoughts and tips on this.

'Underrepresentation, lack of fit, imposter syndrome, being caught between two worlds, a sizeable class pay gap, even self-elimination from the discipline. Working-class origins affect not just getting in but also getting on.' https://t.co/z8EzX8gEdG

@Earnshaw_K @HelenLovatt2 @se_dyer @reb_lang Love the sound of this! Can you elaborate a little on how the sessions work? Is it easy to do online, and how long do the slots last?

[CUCD Education @CommitteeCucd]

@lizgloyn Thanks, Liz, that sounds interesting and would love to know more about how it works ...time-logging with a view to keeping a lid on overall hours worked? managing the split of time between different tasks? or both?!

[CUCD Education @CommitteeCucd]

One year in to the pandemic, and we know that all our HE colleagues are exhausted. Workload struggles and imbalances have only been exacerbated and burnout is real. We want to hear the strategies that you use that help - even if only a little bit - on a day-to-day basis... (1/2)

[CUCD Education @CommitteeCucd]

We know there's no magic bullet but do share your thoughts here, and we'll gather them together for our blog. (Full disclosure: limiting social media use is *also* a legitimate response!)

[CUCD Education @CommitteeCucd]

What makes a difference to you that might help a struggling colleague? Tips for managing email or snagging a bit of research time? Ways of prioritising or getting better at saying no? Hacks and workarounds to make your working day run a bit more smoothly? (2/3)

[Rethinking Roehampton @RoeSSAH]

Looking back at 2020's online teaching challenges. Lecturers adapted, experimented & found new ways to actively engage students.They should be rewarded, not cut back on! Online teaching is not about a video that can be re-played on and on: it requires creative strategic thinking.

[CUCD Education @CommitteeCucd]

We'd love to hear #ClassicsTwitter's ideas and experiences of this sort of thing too, and can use our CUCD blog to collect and share them -https://t.co/B5Hx84jeWy - please get in touch if you're interested in contributing!

[David J. Wright @rmavirumquecano]

Anyone have any success with group projects in virtual classrooms? If so, I would love to learn about them! #OnlineTeaching #OnlineLearning #VirtualTeaching

Trying desperately to learn Hebrew & failing with Pratico-Van Pelt. Will I get further with Lily Kahn? As Languages Coordinator I'm trying to ensure a working knowledge of as many of the 6 languages we offer as possible. Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Pali, Arabic. Advice?

[CUCD Education @CommitteeCucd]

Delighted to have @CressidaRyan kicking off our blog series on online pedagogy in 2021 with a great post on 'Remote teaching responses to teaching, learning and assessing vocab' https://t.co/9m6pQSkgVl
