Supporting Faculty to Address Learner Variability

Session Overview

This video was part of the June 2022 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit

Faculty remain the critical connection between students and success. The past two years require institutions to now provide faculty with digital tools that support their ability to identify learners who need individualized coaching and instruction. For faculty helping students learn is core to why they teach but giving them better student learning data has been missing. APLU will share examples of faculty doing this work.
