In journalism schools, radio, television, and multimedia courses depend heavily on an in-person learning experience, especially as students rely on the studio equipment in the campus newsroom. That had to change when the pandemic forced everyone to work at home. In this episode, host Nana aba Duncan speaks with three journalism educators on how they navigated that change from an in-person studio experience to a virtual one. What tools did they use to recreate the studio experience at home? How did they address the inequities that come with students using different equipment? And what were the lessons they learned in adapting to the pandemic?

 This episode features:

• Roger Martin, IT coordinator at Carleton University
• Andrea Hunter, associate professor at Concordia University
• Winston Sih, instructor at Toronto Metropolitan University
• Nana aba Duncan (moderator), associate professor at Carleton University
