What College Students Want Post-Coronavirus

The shift to online learning in response to the coronavirus pandemic is colored by the perception that online-only education is less rigorous or valuable than in-person instruction. The memo that follows is based on an online discussion board among 30 current college students. Within this group, 9 had extensive online learning experience pre-coronavirus, while 21 had only limited online learning experience pre-coronavirus. Care was taken to make the groups as representative as possible of the US college population, with respect to age, gender, and race. This online discussion board was conducted by Global Strategy Group for Third Way from May 12-15,2020.
