Description

BoF: Online Education: Surprises and Insights

For some, the move to online education and training took place many years ago, while for others, the need to move online was thrust upon them due to the global pandemic. No matter what the circumstances or motivations for the move, the community of online educators and trainers have all encountered challenges, experienced surprises, and gained insights from their journeys into the online education space. After migrating, some have met with varying levels of success, while others still struggle to establish a reliable and effective online programme.

This panel session will discuss some of the challenges in moving to an online education platform. We will hear personal experiences from established online trainers from various regions about how they have implemented their programmes, what surprises they experienced along the way, and what insights they can share with others trying to move to an online education model.
