Only, if they are in the same room they distract each other too much. So we have turned my office into a classroom for my son as well. That is going very well and this morning he concentrated on his work for two hours in a row. I think we inspire each other. My wife does crafts with our daughter and she also still works two mornings week in a pharmacy in Ede.

I am doing my own teaching on Zoom, which is a very handy application for meetings. It’s a bit like Skype but you can see a lot of people at the same time in a group chat. Students can ask questions, put up their hands, and chat. We can see what they’ve written and respond if they get stuck. Our group has bought three licenses, and we use one of them for our own team consultations, seminars and colloquia, and two for our teaching.’
This is the first part of a series on working from home during the corona crisis. The editorial staff calls a WUR colleague every day to find out how things are going. The illustration is (of course) a selfie or a snapshot taken by a housemate. Would you like to participate? Mail resource@wur.nl or share via #WURkfromHOME.
