Dr. Kathleen Ives, Senior Vice President for Engagement at UPCEA reports that senior level administrators are starting to realize what goes into creating and delivering online courses. As a result, many institutions are looking at how they can help faculty members avoid burnout. The key is establishing a culture of support and understanding that transfers through the whole institution. The Digital Learning Pulse Survey conducted in April of this year showed that despite the quick transition from online learning, a majority of students want the option to take courses in a fully online format. The survey also showed educational leaders are revamping their strategic plans and prioritizing internet and technology access.
