Have Virtual Meeting and Webcam Comfort and Enjoyment Zoomed During the Pandemic? A Survey of Learning Professionals

• In Event: DDL- Faculty Perspectives in Online Learning (h)

Short Description

This survey study investigates the virtual meeting and webcam experiences and preferences of learning professionals before and during the pandemic. Findings show that overall virtual meetings increased in frequency, as did comfort participating in them. Enjoyment, however, is a more complex issue. Pre-pandemic, they were positively correlated, but that has changed during the pandemic. Webcam use, like enjoyment, is complex and comfort levels vary by context. Implications for instructors and facilitators are shared.
