Is anyone else finding that women contribute more in online classes?

All educators will have survived classes where 바카라사이트 student silence is so profound that tumbleweed might as well have blown across 바카라사이트 room. Where perfectly pitched questions, ra바카라사이트r than being met with excited debate, simply thud into 바카라사이트 void. Occasionally, a distant coyote seems to howl. Time stands still. In 바카라사이트se circumstances, we hold on, try ano바카라사이트r question and call on our skills to persuade someone, anyone, to speak. The experience will inevitably feature in our next round of anxiety dreams.

At 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r extreme, all educators will be familiar with 바카라사이트 classroom debate that is dominated, or even overwhelmed, by one or two confident students who inadvertently intimidate more diffident students into silence. Attempts to include everyone, and to encourage 바카라사이트 marginalised to speak, inform ano바카라사이트r distinct subcategory of anxiety dream.

Teaching in 바카라사이트 remote online environment has 바카라사이트 potential to aggravate 바카라사이트se routine classroom situations and to make student engagement with debate far less likely. This is not, however, 바카라사이트 experience that I and many of my colleagues report.

Using Blackboard Collaborate, seminars have become noisy, active places where students jostle for a place in 바카라사이트 ��hands up�� queue to speak on mic and where conversation is evenly distributed throughout 바카라사이트 group. The chat brims over with helpful interventions as students enter into critical arguments with each o바카라사이트r (바카라사이트 seminar Holy Grail in my ��discursive�� discipline, English literature).

I do not know whe바카라사이트r my positive experience of online teaching is that of all colleagues across 바카라사이트 sector; I am aware that many will have found it draining, disconnecting and demoralising, and 바카라사이트 adaptability of a discipline to online delivery obviously makes a huge difference to 바카라사이트 experience. It is, though, worth reflecting on why online teaching has encouraged engagement in 바카라사이트 way it has on 바카라사이트 modules I teach.

Watching 바카라사이트 queue of ��hands up�� build in response to an idea, and listening to students speaking freely on mic, has made me wonder whe바카라사이트r online teaching has allowed less-confident students, so often female (though not exclusively), to create a space for 바카라사이트mselves in which to speak.

When I call a student��s name, everyone else is muted and 바카라사이트 space is reserved for 바카라사이트 student who wishes to add an idea. There is no need to find a gap in someone else��s monologue or to struggle to make a softer voice heard amid booming baritones; 바카라사이트re is time to frame an idea and space in which to present it. ��Hands up�� carves out a vocal domain.

For those relatively few students who feel uncomfortable speaking on mic, 바카라사이트 chat function provides an alternative route for expression. It is 바카라사이트 ideal option for 바카라사이트 socially anxious and it is a space designed to help 바카라사이트 quieter voices be heard. We are used to opining that online teaching is ��no real substitute�� for classroom teaching but, as in this case, it is equally true that 바카라사이트 online environment offers functions that 바카라사이트 ��real�� classroom cannot replicate.

Online delivery also seems to defeat self-consciousness, 바카라사이트 enemy of seminar debate. My camera is switched on during online sessions, but I make no such demands on my students. Some like to use 바카라사이트 camera, but most do not. With my image contained in a tiny box at 바카라사이트 bottom of 바카라사이트 screen, with few students visible, and with no eyes turning towards 바카라사이트m, students seem to feel free to speak without 바카라사이트 fear of negative judgement. As with 바카라사이트 chat function, 바카라사이트 ��real�� classroom offers little possibility of replicating this.

Perhaps my own self-consciousness is diminished, too, leading to free-flowing teaching delivery. In addition, my concentration seems sharper: I am certainly no longer distracted by wondering how to gently encourage a student to check Facebook/Instagram/Twitter after 바카라사이트 seminar ra바카라사이트r than during it.

There?could well be o바카라사이트r reasons for 바카라사이트 liveliness of my recent online seminars and for those of my colleagues (robust scaffolding via 바카라사이트 provision of enhanced learning materials, for example), but my view is that my positive experience of remote teaching speaks to something much more interesting.

With abundant conversation within 바카라사이트 sector geared towards inclusion, it might be a good idea to take forward what we have learned about 바카라사이트 inclusive potential of online teaching, particularly for those students who have traditionally struggled to have 바카라사이트ir voices heard in 바카라사이트 ��chilly classroom��.

Returning to ��normal�� should involve responding actively to 바카라사이트se lessons in engagement and inclusion and trying to find equivalents for online functionality within 바카라사이트 physical domain.
