This week I’m presenting a paper at the Foundation Year Network Conference 2021, titled “Saving face when face-to-face is cancelled: Maintaining the personal touch“. In this I talk about short videos I made every week throughout the pandemic in order to maintain student engagement and keep a friendly face in the picture. I’m excited about this conference, as it’s one of the ones I try to go to every year. We’re a friendly bunch, and I highly recommend it for anyone who’s involved in any kind of Foundation teaching.
