Focus – 2020 saw all ANU supervisors suddenly pivot to remote supervision for at least a few months. It soon became apparent that many of us were already interacting with HDRs online, and that lots of our PhD candidates are not located in Canberra anyway. This workshop invites discussion of what we have learnt about best practice in remote supervision over the last couple of years. What are the challenges that we’ve found solutions to? What are the advantages of online supervision? And what do we still need to work on to manage distance supervision effectively?

Lead – Dr Cally Guerin is a member of the Researcher Development and HDR Supervision Development teams at ANU. She has been teaching, researching and publishing on doctoral education since 2008, working with both HDR supervisors and students to develop effective research practices. She is a founding co-editor of the Doctoral Writing blog.

Remote supervision: Not so very different from on-campus supervision
