COVID has affected the education industry in numerous and far-reaching ways that we’re only beginning to understand. Our half-day virtual events included industry experts, university administrators and faculty, and technology providers to provide breadth and depth of expertise. By working together to arm one other with information, a trusted network of experts, and shared experiences, we can all be prepared to pivot as the education market evolves. During this event, we had speakers leading discussions on the following themes:​​

Why quality learning is timeless, and how to achieve it

​

How things have changed in education and how to be ready

​

Institution-level trends in administration and legal repercussions

​

How to enable faculty to be successful as they transition from teaching online to online learning
