Overall experience

Hi,

Like Phillip, I have not been overtly excluded from online learning, but thinking more deeply about it, I have questioned the experience? I think the lack of face to face contact (even via video) is a thing and you generally don’t have a shared learning experience with peers or the same level of tutor support that you would otherwise get face to face? This can be overwhelming and I think for some courses, virtual reality may help rather than text / email / forums? The lack of human connection can feel quite restrictive for a learner.
