Today, students, especially those with limited access to higher education, have expressed a strong demand for online courses. The stats are clear: 3.9 million Californians plan to enroll in college in the next two years and want their courses online. Education leaders and policymakers support the expansion of online education, but opposition to this mode of learning stifles progress.
On Tuesday, October 17, we hosted a webinar to discuss reasons behind this opposition and how California can leverage online education for greater college access and improved outcomes, especially for underserved communities.
We unveiled a roadmap highlighting the current state of online education and the potential pathways towards achieving a more equitable and agile system of learning and a panel of leaders shared insights on how we can collectively drive innovation in higher education that centers equity, quality, and student success.
