Hi Nathan,
It was really interesting to read about your own experiences with distributed learning. I totally agree with you on how the pandemic normalized online learning and I believe this normalization is helping a lot of students get online learning and help them move ahead. Also, thank you for sharing the Harvard course, I didn’t know it was that easy to register for courses online.
I think one of the challenges with online education could be not being able to connect with your classmates . Therefore, it was exciting to read that even though your class was online, you could find classmates through Discord and form connections with them. I think it is great to find classmates whom you can ask for help and help them. In my opinion, having these connections in an online learning environment helps online learning become more effective and motivates me more.
