Until They Don\u2019t<\/a>,&#8221; that the situation is more nuanced than the expectation for everyone wanting to return to the\u00a0physical classroom.\u00a0He did some informal testing of this hypothesis in his Fall 2021 \u201cExtreme Weather\u201d\u00a0undergraduate science requirement class. Students who did not do particularly well with remote options already had lower grades. In this class of\u00a0230 undergraduate students,\u00a0Dr. Samson gave all learners the option to participate remotely, synchronously, or asynchronously, asked them how they participated in each session, and awarded participation points. Students were not penalized for choosing one method or attendance over another.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key takeaways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>With\u00a0the pandemic and ongoing side effects, there are still lots of challenges. Students do not necessarily prefer to be in the physical classroom all the time<\/li><li>Given \u201creasonable\u201d options, students prefer synchronous attendance\u00a0<\/li><li>Attendance in the physical classroom, NOT participation, dropped especially for upper-level learners<\/li><li>The only consistent factor\u00a0was lower grades for students who\u00a0missed over half of the class (regardless of the instruction\/participation mode)\u00a0<\/li><li>Students welcome the flexibility of attending class remotely\u00a0<\/li><li>There is not much time for in-depth discussion and teamwork in a large lecture hall<\/li><li>Over 80 percent of students requested streaming services\u00a0<\/li><li>Students and faculty don\u2019t necessarily have resources for their commitments outside the classroom\u2014flexibility is a welcome option\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that in mind, the discussion of Camera use in Live Remote Teaching is a huge topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/er.educause.edu\/articles\/2022\/3\/revisiting-camera-use-in-live-remote-teaching-considerations-for-learning-and-equity?utm_source=Selligent&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=sec_newsletter&amp;utm_content=03-29-22&amp;utm_term=_&amp;m_i=kTPs_ksdaJHb5vyWEhm3jjEqkJ51sIB5X6gz8dwghZ3PAmcnR7ydhdjptcCKMePyWuDsLrQvfhKCpamyIgDpYJ%2BT6TYkkr&amp;M_BT=1304864411\">Revisiting camera use in live remote teaching: Considerations for learning and equity | EDUCAUSE<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The authors encourage faculty to think about optimal uses for webcams in remote classrooms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trust increases when you see your co-communicator, but is it a requirement to have the camera \u201cON\u201d at all times?
