Can online education increase post-secondary access and success for the under-served students who need it most? Data show historically online education widens access but on average lowers student completion rates. In this session, learn how you can make a few small changes that improve student learning in marginalized populations which have also been shown to benefit all students.
Objectives:
- Evaluate the retention rates of diverse students in distance education.
- Synthesize the factors that contribute to academic success among diverse students.
- Identify the course design methods and resources that can positively contribute to the inclusion of diverse online student populations’ learning experiences.
