The event started with a 30-minute discussion (facilitated by Rob Howe) with five neurodivergent students from different universities. On 10 June 2021 ALT East England ran an event called ‘Exploring the experience of online learning and teaching for neurodivergent students’. Part 3 – Recommendations from the Support Services perspective About the event Part 2 – Neurodivergent students studying in the home environment In this post we explain details of the event, give a brief definition of neurodiversity, and describe how students at the event experienced interacting with others online. All content originates from an event organised by Association for Learning Technology (ALT) East England. This is the first in a series of three blog posts aiming to highlight the experience of neurodivergent students during this period, and how support in Higher Education could be improved. The sudden move to online learning during 20 had a profound and personal impact on neurodivergent students.
