Online learning at university

A student perspective

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced universities to move all teaching online. Final-year student Madeline Abbott describes the experience

When I started university two years ago, the idea of online learning wouldn’t have even been imaginable to me. Fastforward two years and here I am, a full-time online university student participating in seminars from my bedroom.

Typically, a day in my life consists of a two-hour seminar on Microsoft Teams, the occasional online meeting with my dissertation supervisor and lots of reading. At times it feels overwhelming — researching a dissertation from inside the four walls of my childhood bedroom — but somehow, online learning has become my full-time reality. After this almost year-long experience, I thought I’d shed some light on what to expect from remote learning: the good, the bad and the ugly.
