A problem I have identified is the effects of mental health that students are experiencing during the pandemic with the transition to online school. There have been so many factors over the past year that are adding more stress onto students. #EM203Robin #EM203Problem

Here is an infographic I made related to my research topic of mental health during the pandemic & the transition to online learning for students! #EM203Robin

@MHCC_ Thank you so much for the information! I appreciate your response and will definitely check out the survey!

@EM203kfixter Hey, Kelsey! You might find the survey results we published in February useful for your course: mentalhealthcommission.ca/English/media/… Best of luck with EM203!

Hi @MHCC_ ! I am a university student doing research on how online learning has affected students' mental health during the pandemic. Would you be able to share your thoughts on this topic? Have you seen a significant increase?

Hi @SMHO_SMSO! I am a university student doing research on how students' mental health has been impacted through online learning during the pandemic. Do you have any information to share on this topic?

It's important to take time for yourself and take care of your mental health. Try meditation, yoga or exercising, or even relaxing with a good book. 📚 bchu.org/coronavirus

Hi @wrdsb! I am a university student researching how mental health has affected students during the pandemic and with transitioning to online learning. I would love to hear any insight you have - perhaps what measures have been put in place to support students in this area?

The issue I identified is the socioeconomic gap effecting students access to online learning during the pandemic. This is a journal based in the Philippines and discusses access to technology across socioeconomic boundaries. files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED607…

Here is some interesting data on how students think online learning is a positive change for their education. There are definitely pros and cons to online learning. #EM203Robin

COVID-19 has changed how everyone goes about their everyday lives and has forced people to work from home. For some it’s a blessing to work from home, but will we continue to work from home once it is all over? cbc.ca/news/business/…

A provincial pilot project allowing people aged 60-64 in some Ontario cities to get a COVID-19 vaccination quickly became a source of frustration over unclear rules and limited supply. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…

Zoom Fatigue: The reality we are all facing! Staring at a screen for several hours a day everyday can be so draining for us university students. What is something you do to help reduce the fatigue and anxiety of virtual school? #EM203Robin #EM203Research unewsonline.com/2020/09/zoom-f…

We’ll plant 2 billion trees over the next ten years. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Hi Amanda, a problem that I found in your concept map about education at home is the zoom fatigue is another big issue for students! The use of technology has increased putting strain on the whole body. @EM203AmandaB #EM203problems

@EM203Natalie Hey Natalie! I’m so glad you are enjoying the course so far, I really am too! The comic strip discussion the first week was one of my favourites as well because we could get to know each other better and practice a new learning tool as well to use in the future!

@Em203Katherine Hi Katherine! I completely agree with you, I loved learning about how the internet is changing the way we learn in this digital age, and to be honest it’s for the better! We have so many resources available to us right at our fingertips!

The first three weeks of EM203 have taught me more about the digital age and how it has evolved. I really enjoyed learning about how the internet has changed how we learn. I am really looking forward to the upcoming modules! #EM203Robin

@em203_jessica Hi Jessica! I totally agree with you, learning about the 3M’s was very interesting. I didn’t realize how much multitasking affects your learning but the activity where we had to recall words while listening to music really showed me that I need to focus more when studying haha.

In the past 3 weeks of EM203, I have learned a lot about different learning styles and the 3M’s. This week we learned how to learn a new task. I enjoyed this activity as I learned how to make a paper airplane, which is something I have always wanted to do! #EM203Robin

@EM203mactavish Hi Erica! I also love how interactive this course is and that we are all able to share what we have learned through so many different interactive activities. And I agree with you, the learning theories were very interesting to learn about!

The first three weeks of EM203 has taught me so much already! Specifically about various learning theories and how we learn in today’s digital age! I’ve enjoyed all of the interactive activities in these modules #EM203Robin
