Belonging, trust and social isolation: the move on-line during the time of COVID - A longitudinal study.

The move to on-line teaching in UK higher education was swift and dramatic as the Covid pandemic drove society into lockdown. Programmes and modules traditionally taught face to face were suddenly converted to be delivered in an on-line format. This research explores the experience of this process over an academic year, at all levels of educational progression, from first year undergraduates, to post-graduates on a one-year programme.
