Could Coronavirus cause the end of things as we know it?
Well I doubt it. But makes you think though. |  |

I think it has the potential to change the way we think and work. I wouldn't be surprised if it became the norm for more people to work from home, after all we can do group meetings online already. I think it also might lead to a new way of education, I mean do universities really need these big buildings? Surely university age people can be educated largely off site???? |  |

My concern - employment-security wise - is that some university deans / presidents might then say 'oh well having made you teach on line, and podcasted your lecture, maybe we can just use the digital content next year and not hire you, after all how much change is there in subject X each year?'
We have just (finally) moved to teaching online at our uni as of today; I think you're right in that it does show that actually a lot of work can be done at distance, and will open up a much more decentralised workflow, but there's room for it to be abused and lead to less job security methinks
Canada has taken a while to get going on all of this; the first toilet paper frenzy only hit our supermarket yesterday afternoon... |  | | |
