The article “OPINION | COVID will change Michigan education long after the pandemic” — originally published by Bridge Magazine on June 3, 2021 — shares the perspective of Chris Harrington, director of the Michigan Virtual Learning Research Institute, who explores the different ways that school will be different once the pandemic is over. The article is based on an episode of the BRIGHT podcast titled “What’s the Secret to Keeping Students Motivated in Online Learning?” where we interview Chris about his reflections on “pandemic teaching,” common misconceptions about online learning, and the findings of his team’s landmark research study on keeping students engaged in virtual learning environments.
