Keynote Address: Beyond COVID – Lessons Learned and the Path Forward
The movement to online learning as the emergency response to the COVID pandemic has spurred much speculation about the future of education and particularly the future of online education. Although many of us in the field have speculated that online learning has achieved mainstream success, responses to poor experiences during the pandemic continue to raise questions about quality and efficacy. So, what is the path forward? What do we as online educators need to do to ensure quality offerings and cement the presence of online learning in the educational landscape?
