Did you know that a recent survey found that about 70% of students prefer and expect to have online or blended learning environments moving forward?
But with the growth of online learning, how do you overcome the challenges of establishing and using diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in a remote environment?
Regardless of your role in higher education or experience with online learning, DEI should be at the forefront of your efforts.
During this webinar, industry experts will provide practical strategies to implement DEI and provide key insights such as:
• How DEI improves online learning — even in some areas you may not expect
• Overcoming obstacles in a remote environment to establish DEI
• Ways to use DEI in online courses to improve student engagement and build a learner community
