What We Learned from COVID and Turning the Ship to Quality Online Learning
Wednesday November 16, 2022 - 1:15 PM to 2:00 PM
Concurrent Session 1

Brief Abstract

Before the pandemic, a significant amount of time was spent trying to convince naysayers that online learning could be a quality learning experience for students. Then came COVID that required immediate remote learning, which did not support our case for quality. Now, what do we need to do to address the many bad experiences of emergency remote learning and make our case for quality? Using the OLC Quality Scorecard, we will provide tips for turning the ship toward quality.
