How to Improve Online Learning: Lessons from the Spring 2020 Quarter at Stanford

Panel discussion by John Mitchell, Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University; Maxwell Bigman, PhD Student in the Graduate School of Education at Stanford University; and Christina Prkic (moderator), Director at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, at the 2020 Project Ascendance Summit.

In this panel, experts from Stanford and from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco discussed: 

  • Experimenting with synchronous and asynchronous classroom environments, flipped classrooms, and different online tools

  • Helping students meet, network, collaborate, complete meaningful activities, and learn from one another

  • Thinking creatively about using technology and designing online learning specifically for an online setting

  • Staying positive and using what we’re learning now to improve education in the long run

  • Working with and listening to students
