Abstract
The paper interrogates ways of teaching and learning in relation to a Masters subject ‘Representing and Remembering Place’, taught over a number of years at the University of Melbourne for architecture and heritage students. In 2020, the subject was delivered fully online during the Covid-related lockdown in Melbourne. Students and teachers had to rapidly adapt to new techniques of online communication, and yet preserve and enhance the integral aims of the subject which is to teach participants to observe, record, and experience their local communities in many different media and through diverse interpretations. The study describes the curriculum, and the successful outcomes of 2020 which created intimate documentations of local sites and how they have changed over time.
