Really interesting article, thanks for sharing!
I suspect it’s one that might spark a debate about replacing academics with holograms or robots, although many people don’t realise that students are already being taught across
multiple locations in many institutions because of lack of classroom space etc., so some students are getting the face-to-face experience in one room, and some are in a room next door watching on TV!
This just seems to be a creative and innovative way of maybe trying to improve that experience with a more lifelike virtual presence?
Kind regards

Subject: Hologram Lecturers to Teach at University
Hi all,
I’ve just come across this news and wondered if there is a wariness around this approach to T&L from the perspective of HE staff and students? I can
see why management might see multiple benefits primarily for financial reasons and if anyone in the SEDA community has come across this in practice?
I can see how it would work for conference keynotes etc but I wonder about the value of someone being virtually there in the classroom/lecture theatre
on a continuous basis? What are the implications?
All comments/thoughts welcome!
Best regards,
Gwen
