Learning at-Scale, Affordability, and Access in a Post-COVID19 World

Abstract

The essays in this volume and many other stories from the 2020 global pandemic illustrate the challenges of urgent horizontal scale in technology mediated instruction. Many say this experience will serve to accelerate instructional change long underway and perhaps to put the ultimate spotlight on issues of equity, access and cost. As they look toward the post-COVID future our authors coalesce around the compelling necessity to develop a stable and dependable ecosystem of learning technologies enabling the talent resources and expertise to guide and support faculty, create meaningful learner engagement, and pursue new opportunities for effective, accessible, affordable higher education.
