Following on from our work to capture a sense of the Student Online Experience, Jesper Hansen (A&H Arena Fellow) and I then went on to study A&H Academic Online Experience in 2021/22. Over 1/4 of teaching staff responded to our Mentimeter survey, and went on to do an extensive thematic analysis of the responses. This analysis led us to some compelling themes and conclusions, and this piece of research has heavily informed my work as Faculty Learning Technology Lead thereafter.

The themes identified:

– Perception of Online Teaching
– Online Teaching as a Threat
– Online Teaching as Enhancement

More than anything, this survey served to demonstrate, as with the student experience survey, the breadth and variety of experience across the Faculty. The only consistent finding was, indeed, inconsistency.
