As an anecdotal example, a professor at University of Notre Damedescribes teaching virtually during COVID-19 lockdown as follows: “I am continually repressing my lifelong, trained habit of uttering simultaneous encouragement through ‘continuers,’ those back-channel cues that encourage the speaker to go on.” [11]Group feedback including laughter, fatigue, visual engagement, head tilting, and auditory cues are nolonger accessible to teachers during COVID-19. This may have a serious negative impact on the ability ofteachers to adapt their teaching to the responses of the class.
