Online learners continue to balance education alongside work, family, and other competing responsibilities, shaping how they engage with programs and persist toward completion. In this session, we explore findings from the 14th edition of Voice of the Online Learner, and examine what those insights mean for institutions, course design, and student support.
Why watch?
Understanding what motivates online learners, and what causes them to disengage, is essential for improving the student experience. This session provides practical insights that can help faculty and institutions better support working adult learners in accelerated online environments.

- A clearer understanding of the motivations and needs of online, accelerated learners
- Insights into the most common barriers affecting student persistence and completion
- Practical strategies for supporting working adults in online learning environments
