UVA Edge: Innovations in Higher Ed
Description:
UVA Edge, an innovative new online education model tailored to working adults, will teach skills aligned to employer demand, including digital and human skills through liberal arts courses as well as deeper skills important in the workplace. What can we learn from UVA’s example about the best approach to support student engagement, learning, work-based skill-development, and retention during COVID disruptions via live remote instruction? How might this work serve as a model?
