Student Success in a Post-COVID Environment
After a variety of online and hybrid course formats during the pandemic, classes are meeting in person again, and things are almost back to normal. However, student engagement, attendance and academic performance does not seem to have fully recovered. Why are some students still struggling, and what can instructors do to help?
