Acceptance of the Widespread Transition to Online Learning Grows - FinancialBuzz.com News Commentary Share this article Share this article NEW YORK, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Around the world, the pandemic and the measures taken to reduce the number of infected have helped to accelerate the transition from traditional educational avenues towards more online-based curriculums. In the beginning, when students first were forced to adopt to a new digital learning environment, some online learning advocates feared the hasty transition would leave students with a negative impression of online learning. Yet, according to a report by Inside Higher Ed, despite the challenges and shortcomings of this emergency transition to remote instruction, a majority of students want the option to keep studying online, new survey results say. The survey, conducted by The Digital Learning Pulse, includes responses from 772 teaching faculty, 514 academic administrators and 1,413 students who were registered at a U.S. higher education institution for both the fall 2020 and spring 2021 semesters. The majority of students, 73%, "somewhat" or "strongly" (46%) agreed that they would like to take some fully online courses in the future. Meten EdtechX Education Group Ltd.
