Online Teaching and Digital Inequalities

A Reflection on the Practical Challenges in Teaching Logic Seminars in an Online Setting

Abstract

In this brief piece, I look back at the experience of teaching logic seminars in a fully online setting during the past winter, reasoning on the strategies I adopted to adapt to the situation and to mitigate difficulties emerging from digital inequalities. I highlight how, in some cases, overcoming practical difficulties generated by the online environment led to unexpected positive outcomes and how, in others, the issues persistently affected the students’ experience in a way that was difficult to attenuate.
