Dr Dilani Gedera, Senior Lecturer in AUT’s Faculty of Business, Economics and Law, says she saw how much care and attention staff put into online teaching, but the researchers want to know what it was like for learners.
“Students’ perspectives will inform us what worked, what challenges they faced and what can New Zealand universities do better or differently in the future,” she says.
“It’s really important that we consider students’ perspectives when we make important decisions about teaching and learning practices.”
