Alaska Insight

The challenges of distance education during a pandemic

Season 3 Episode 28 | 26m 46s

In mid-March, students went on spring break, but widespread concern over the coronavirus meant they could not return to their classrooms for the remainder of the spring semester. As the school year comes to a close, we’re checking in on how distance education has been and what students may face in the fall.
