You're probably right but I'm not quite sure what you mean?Earlier career lecturers seem to be far better at understanding the difference between normal lectures and teaching online.

It’s quite incredible really that current Government policies make it easier for COVID to enter the country than a package from Europe.
Mic drop
still, it still takes morons to listen to him anyway and to not follow rules., all the brits spread the fooker half way around the world all year too lest you forgetAnd that is all down to Boris Johnson's dithering. He has cost us the whole of 2021
The idea that we in Nottingham won't have been able to go to a cafe or restaurant for SEVEN MONTHS (at least) and that Manchester etc will have been even longer is a disgrace and quite staggering failure of leadership.
So when we can all eat out again, guess what's going to happen? Will it be Boris saying "you can eat out, but please don't"? And then blaming us all? Or will it be Boris paying us to eat out and then blaming us all?
When delivering online content older lecturers just simply talked into a camera (if you were lucky) as if it was a normal lecture. They had no appreciation it was a completely different medium to a very different audience. Monotone and tedious to be honest.
The younger ones at least had some concept of how to engage and make use of different cameras, editing etc. They made it more of a performance, utilised props etc.
Largely fair, I expect, but let me know if you need to borrow my Extra Broad Brush someday.When delivering online content older lecturers just simply talked into a camera (if you were lucky) as if it was a normal lecture.

The differences in student engagement skills between young and old are not limited to the transition to digital. Old monotonous lecturers and teachers are just that, no matter where they work or what medium they work with. Part of the trouble in HE is many get their Lectureship jobs on the back of being good researchers, which is a different skill set. The teaching case for their appointment has to be there, but has often take a back seat during recruitment.
In mitigation, there is a widespread movement in universities that teaching staff must undertake a post graduate certificate in education, making them part of the Higher Education Academy. Completion is often a condition of probation but senior staff do it too. It covers hints and tips for more engaging and effective delivery, but also explores the pedagogical theory.
Also while I'm defending the fuddy duddies, these silverbacks are the staff that are the module /strand /year leaders and course directors responsible for ensuring that content is available and engaging. They have to do that because of several pressures (from students in their new 'transactional' approach to HE, thanks to student fees; the TEF; etc). The isolated old Prof you paint surely exists, but is probably not representative of the majority.
Not on my watch.So are we seeing the end of corduroy jackets with elbow patches? [sadface]

The clown just can't help himself.
It won't be long before Zarah Sultana will be ridiculed and attacked by the media. And then the centrists.
