A Digital Mindset

A Digital Mindset: Let’s not close the digital box on what we have learned Who would have thought this year would turn out like this? In January this year we were blissful unaware of what was going to hit us. We had the usual excitement prepping for the start of Term 1, we had visions of walking into lectures theatres and tutorial rooms to eager to learn students. In early February this cheerful vision was starting to get turn to concern, we were hearing from students in China about, then called coronavirus, and that areas inside of China were being locked down.
