Many in higher ed predict that there will soon come a time when online courses and hybrid classrooms will be the norm. Community colleges, in particular, hope online education can help them expand their missions of access and open the door to more nontraditional-age students. How can they chart their way to a digital future?
Technologists and leaders of two-year institutions join The Chronicle’s Ian Wilhelm to discuss that digital transformation — the opportunities and the obstacles. Join us as our panel seeks to answer such questions as:
- How are they making choices today that will pay off in the years ahead?
- How can they make smart budget decisions to set them up for success?
- How do questions about achieving student equity factor into technology discussions?
