Social check-in for the implementation of online teaching formats

After Tool 2 of the blog series "Student Wellbeing in Digital Studies" addressed ways and tools for ensuring psychosocial safety in the planning and preparation of courses, this blog post focuses on promoting student wellbeing during the delivery of courses.
