Join Dr. Maria Anderson, CEO of edtech company, CourseTune, for a 1-hour interactive session as she outlines 10 developments in online and remote education that make us hopeful for the future of higher education.

Between the pandemic, civil unrest, and natural disasters, the year 2020 has been a challenge for most of us. But sometimes, when we get to the other side of the most challenging times, there are silver linings. Higher education will be no exception.  

Key developments include:

  • Internet and technology access is now a top priority in education and in government
  • Increased educational access for students
  • Greater flexibility for teachers
  • More attention to pedagogical principles
  • Shakeup in assessment
  • The importance of social space for students
  • Teachers and professors upgrading their technology skills
