In the blog post below, Faculty Student Partner teams from The University of Manchester reflect on their experiences of working with staff to review and develop online and blended teaching and learning resources.

The students discuss the value and skills they have personally gained from this collaborative process, how online learning is not something to be feared or underrated, and how learning communities are more important than ever.

They end with some top tips for students and share their ‘bloopers’ video, demonstrating that we are all susceptible to the ‘awkwardness’ of online communication.
