Episode Notes In the rapid transition to living in a virtual world due to COVID, there have been a wide range of reactions and questions around what is effective practice. In this talk, Dr. Kristin Palmer will review the essential research framework behind effective online education. She will illustrate this framework in action by walking through the African Scholarship Cohort (ASC) with Distance Education of Africa (DeAfrica). In the ASC program, over 20,000 scholarships have been provided with learners from every country in Africa over the past five years. Attendees will take away from this talk an understanding of how to design effective online courses with practical advice for building a sense of belonging and encouraging engagement. This 20/20 Talk was presented by the Presidential Precinct Network. Learn more at presidentialprecinctnetwork.org and presidentialprecinct.org/covid/.
