LIFELONG LEARNING AND THE LESSONS OF THE PANDEMIC
The disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic has caused at least a temporary revolution in how we learn, not just for students but also for adults seeking to expand their knowledge and enhance their professional skills.
On May 20, 2020, the Longevity Project, in collaboration with the Stanford Center on Longevity, held a virtual panel discussion on Lifelong Learning and the Lessons of the Pandemic to discuss learning during shelter-in-place and how that will change learning in the future. We also announced the results of our new Longevity Project-Morning Consult poll on effectiveness of distance learning and the public’s interest in continuing digital learning into the future. The panel was composed of leading experts including Mitchell Stevens, Associate Professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Education; Ryan Lufkin, Senior Director of Global Education at Instructure (makers of the Canvas LMS); and Jessica Mejia Peña, Client Services Director at Morning Consult.
The panelists along with the moderator, Ken Stern, Chair of the Longevity Project, answered questions about the future of education and lifelong learning post-COVID-19 and spoke to the poll results.
