Online Learning

Schools need to make sure that safety, accessibility, and engagement are key. Here are some ways to do that.

Approximately, 15 to 16 million students—and as many as 400,000 teachers—lack access to online learning and digital devices as the new school year approaching, according to a new analysis.
