In this episode, Brandon Busteed explores the dramatic and positive shift taking place in people's perceptions of education technology and online learning. A recent poll showed that Americans have increasingly positive opinions about the quality of online education, with 47% saying that online learning is just as good as in-person education. Even more impressively, a growing percentage \u2013 8%, up from 3% just one year ago \u2013 believes that the quality of online education is even better than in-person modalities.

Podcast Highlights

• 55% of Americans say that online education is just as good or better than traditional in-person education.
• The COVID-19 pandemic forced educators to transition to online modalities faster than they would have otherwise, which has improved both the quality and accessibility of higher education.
• Positive opinions about the quality of online education are not restricted to students; these views were consistent across all groups.
• The transition to virtual learning environments benefits many students who learn differently, including those who are shy, reluctant to engage in classroom discussions, or need to review materials more than once to absorb new information.
• While leaders may perceive online education as a threat to their institutions, there is more opportunity than risk, and online education may enable institutions to deliver on their value propositions better than before.
