Educators from Stanford University shared lessons from their campus’ overall experiences with remote learning, including student struggles and academic innovations, at the virtual Educause Annual Conference. The report, titled Lessons from Teaching and Learning at Stanford During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Review, 2020-21, was the topic of a discussion last week at the virtual Educause Annual Conference by co-authors Lisa Anderson, associate director of educational partnerships at Stanford University, and Cynthia Berhtram, the university’s associate director of project management. “The only thing universal that we found in the student experience was that it was very polarized. Some students really thrived in the online learning environment, whereas others had some struggles remaining engaged and remaining focused on their learning,” Berhtram said.
