RE: Nonverbal Overload: A Theoretical Argument for the Causes of Zoom Fatigue
I don't really see it as a big deal because fatigue has always been existent, whether the class is being held online or in-person. But, I do think online tutors should provide few minutes of break for students to re-energize.
Yes.
And taking breaks is something that needs to be built in during a school day or work day whether in person or remotely distributed as well. Even when I was working in an office, my colleagues and I would often get up to stretch, and move our bodies. And we tried to schedule walking meetings so we could move around outside when we were meeting, too.
It's difficult to make time to take breaks in either situation, but I think it's a little more of a bother in a video conference because teach issues will tend to draw things out, and interrupt as well, which means it's more difficult to take advantage of the time you have dedicated to a meeting or class.
