Penn State University
Penn State University’s American Centre for the Study of Distance Education is hosting the following webinar at 3.00 pm Eastern on Tuesday, May 5th.
Title: The next five years: future directions for online learning
Abstract: The recent corona virus has shown that for most institutions, online learning and distance education are no longer an option but a necessity, especially as a back-up in emergencies. However, even before this, there was strong evidence that online learning is becoming mainstream in North American higher education. This webinar will explore how the role of online and digital learning is expanding beyond increasing access, to supporting the development of the key knowledge and skills students need in a digital age.
