All shortlisted papers were judged to provide significant critical and/or analytical insights to the field of higher education, and were characterised by their thorough literature reviews, sound methodology, persuasive, succinct and coherent arguments, and were, moreover, highly engaging. Hence, the judges had a particularly difficult task in deciding on the winner.

Black boxes and sensory deprivation: How to adapt cues when teaching online

Dear Colleagues,

Most of us have experienced a wall of black boxes when teaching or meeting online, which means the traditional cues we rely on in face-to-face interactions are not available. In this free guide, “Black Boxes and Sensory Deprivation: How to Adapt Cues When Teaching Online,” you will find strategies to help you address the challenge of black boxes on your screen.

What you will learn from this guide:
- Understanding Sensory Deprivation: Learn why it is important to read cues when interacting online.
- Adapting Non-Verbal Cues: Learn what you can do to enhance your presence online.
- Using Online Cues: Find out what cues you can use from students, participants, or colleagues to inform your decision-making as you reflect-in-action.

Why This Guide is Essential
In the absence of physical interaction, students, participants, and colleagues often feel disconnected and unmotivated. This guide provides practical strategies to overcome these challenges, ensuring your virtual meeting space remains engaging and effective for you and participants.

Download the “Black boxes and sensory deprivation: How to adapt cues when teaching online” guide now and discover some simple steps you can take to enhance communication online, whether when teaching or for other online meetings: https://iteachhe.com/black-boxes-and-sensory-deprivation-how-to-adapt-cu...

Please share this notice widely with all colleagues on your campus.

Regards,
Cynthia
