“…Empathy is the ability to put yourself in other people's shoes and understand situation from their point of view. Several studies have emphasised the importance of empathy in online learning [24,34] and this study fully supports those findings. Next, to answer the second research question, three codes (Table 3) and one sub-theme (Table 4) were generated with the formulation of key-theme 2 (feedback to empower learners).…”

With the outbreak of Covid-19, Open and Distance Learning (ODL) has be-come even popular particularly among those who aim to pursue postgradu-ate studies. ODL provides alternative for many to study while working or while raising a family. Nevertheless, the lack of student engagement and non-completion rate in ODL programs were reported higher than in tradi-tional programs. One of the main factors is due to the instructor-student in-teraction issue. The objective of this qualitative study was to understand the issue by looking at instructor attributes and types of feedback required by the students. The data were collected via semi-structured interviews with a small sample of university postgraduate students and academics in Malaysia and were analysed using thematic analysis and data triangulation. The results show two factors that need attention to improve instructor-student interaction and make ODL a better learning option for mature learn-ers: instructor empathy and feedback to empower learners. These findings cannot be generalised without further research but are able to provide some information on the important factors to consider in preparing instructors for learning delivery completely online.

“…However, this concern, we suggest, is premised on a conception of our experience of others online being disembodied and our online interactions as being unable to be interaffective. We suggest, contrary to this conception, that we can and do experience others' expressivity online and that we can and do experience one another interaffectively online (Osler 2020(Osler , 2021bKekki 2020;Osler & Krueger 2021).…”

“…Like all perceptual experiences (Ratcliffe 2008; Zahavi 3 Indeed, we would go so far to defend the idea that we can bodily apprehend others even in the case of mediated social experiences online and thus can experience interpersonal atmospheres online.

Taking Watsuji online: betweenness and expression in online spaces

In this paper, we introduce the Japanese philosopher Tetsurō Watsuji’s phenomenology of aidagara (“betweenness”) and use his analysis in the contemporary context of online space. We argue that Watsuji develops a prescient analysis anticipating modern technologically-mediated forms of expression and engagement. More precisely, we show that instead of adopting a traditional phenomenological focus on face-to-face interaction, Watsuji argues that communication technologies—which now include Internet-enabled technologies and spaces—are expressive vehicles enabling new forms of emotional expression, shared experiences, and modes of betweenness that would be otherwise inaccessible. Using Watsuji’s phenomenological analysis, we argue that the Internet is not simply a sophisticated form of communication technology that expresses our subjective spatiality (although it is), but that it actually gives rise to new forms of subjective spatiality itself. We conclude with an exploration of how certain aspects of our online interconnections are hidden from lay users in ways that have significant political and ethical implications.
