Strategic Approaches to Distance Learning – 2:30–3:30 pm

(immediately following WebChat, optional)

We will take a brief break following the WebChat, then continue in the same Zoom meeting for this portion.

Three years ago, COVID turned the ABE world upside down as we pivoted to online classes overnight. We have time now for managers to take a deep breath, review what we have learned, and make strategic decisions about online and distance learning going forward.  Immediately following the September WebChat, the MN Adult Education Distance Learning Team will facilitate a discussion on strategic approaches to distance learning.
