Video: ARCC Network Webinar Explores Student and Faculty Success in Distance Education

The ARCC Network recently hosted a webinar focused on student and instructor experiences with online education.

The May 8 webinar, hosted by researchers from the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University and the Pullias Center for Higher Education at the University of Southern California, shared findings from an ongoing study being conducted in the Los Angeles Community College District (LACCD). 

The researchers discussed online learning innovations during and after the COVID-19 pandemic in LACCD, as well as data on four online education modalities: synchronous, asynchronous, HyFlex, and hybrid. 

Attendees also heard from distance education coordinators within the district about the practical application of these innovations and gained insights into potential challenges and opportunities in online classrooms. 

Watch the recording below to learn more about how LACCD is adapting to an increasing demand for distance education options post-pandemic and strategies their instructors are adopting to ensure a high-quality education, equitable access, and student success across modalities.
