The UK Council for Graduate Education has publisheda very interesting guide to online supervision, created to help research supervisors navigate the challenges of remote doctoral supervision.
The guide is not intended just for present circumstances where campuses are locked down because of the Covid-‐19 virus, but more generally for situations where candidates engage in research at geographical distance from the institution, or in programs that involve online components.
The guide looks at the benefits of supervising in an online environment, outlines the issues and challenges for supervisors and candidates, and suggests strategies and practices for supervisors to consider when working with candidates engaged in research at a distance.
