In the April issue of cLIP newsletter we promoted a survey to try to learn something useful from the forced full-time teleworking period during lockdown. The results were published in the May issue. But these were the early days! Surely we all know a lot more about telework now, and several people suggested that we repeated the survey at the end of the year. Our option was to make only minimal changes, in order to have comparable results...

Below, choose the option that best describes your situation, focusing when necessary on the 2020/2021 academic year:

Only to finish some work in the evening or weekends

Full days, from time to time

At least one day every week

More than that
