Welcome to our first podcast on the Curio Educate Futures channel in our series of Putting the 'Human' into Online. As an organisation, we are interested to see how the human element is being taken into account during the current rush to online learning in the university sector with the arrival of COVID-19. As experts and practitioners in the field of online learning, we often find ourselves commenting on what is best for the student, what pedagogy works effectively and the best ways to engage online students. However, we are aware that the voice of the student tends to be lacking in this conversation. In this podcast, Michael Frantzis, Principal of Curio London, empowers the students' voice and listens to the experts to get their first-hand experiences of what it's like to be a UK-based student returning to a 'campusless' university. Listen to find out what has gone well, what hasn't gone so well, what needs to happen going forward, and if the new educational offerings are worth the price.If you'd like to stay up to date with this series, register your interest here: https://curio.co/news/signup
