What Twitter is telling us about students’ experience with remote teaching

Veletsianos and Kimmons recently published an early analysis of Twitter feeds of students talking about their online experience. The researchers recognized interesting themes coming from these tweets:

  • Students appreciate faculty who remain positive and calm
  • Students would like faculty to maintain a proper perspective
  • Students appreciate faculty who are empathetic, who are flexible, and who have reasonable expectations
  • Professional behavior norms benefit students as well as faculty
  • Students want faculty to be comfortable with technology
  • Not all students are tech-savvy and connected
