Students with caring responsibilities may be less able to engage with their institutions in the way that universities would like, but little attention is paid to how the students themselves would like to engage and why. Asynchronous learning can provide freedom to focus on family, self and care – all things that are natural human desires and responsibilities to balance. Students who provide care are preposterously under-represented in university processes, policies and decisions, and this is not for a lack of ideas, experiences or feedback they would like to share.
