Re: <nettime> FWD: re: switching to teaching online

[Alice Sparkly Kat <alice@alicesparklykat.com>]

the sad thing is, moving classes online means that a lot of staff workers
and teaching assistants will lose their jobs. prerecorded sessions also
means that many teachers will lose their jobs since the same session can be
played over and over again.

i'm currently in the process of having to move some community programming
online due to the pandemic. trying to figure out whether this means trying
to get young people to commit to video chatting (something i fear is pretty
impossible) or creating a channel on social media that they're already
using (really difficult to distinguish it from other things that are
already happening on the site). will definitely be missing sharing space
with kids who might just be popping by and want to have a discussion on
poetry or the like! online workshops don't build or exist within local
communities and are very detrimental to labor movements.
