A new channel for staff-student engagement online
Community poll: Share and see the many ways we are engaging in partnerships in a global pandemic
We are all navigating the COVID-19 global pandemic in our own unique ways. Learning and teaching online has become the new normal, but finding innovative ways to engage in student-staff partnerships online has been a little more challenging.
In an effort to combat this challenge the Students as Partners (SaP) Community of Practice Network has designed a tool to enable students and staff to share stories of and perspectives on engaging in pedagogical (learner-teacher) partnerships in the context of COVID-19.
A community poll is now available, providing real-time, live results. This channel is an excellent way to connect and share, to stay in touch using a simple online platform.

Read the stories and perspectives from the community here: Live Results from the community poll
Over a dozen people have already shared stories in the last 6 hours. Stories and views that show there is no one way people are experiencing partnership *at a distance*.
If you are looking for resources specific to supporting online partnership practices, you will want to check out the live results as some members have shared specific references.
