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.

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