The way students learn has fundamentally changed. According to data from EDUCAUSE’s “2022 Students and Technology Report: Rebalancing the Student Experience,” in 2020, 35 percent of students said they preferred completely face-to-face learning, and just 5 percent said they would opt for completely online experiences. What a difference two years makes: Today, just 29 percent say they want completely face-to-face learning, while 20 percent would rather go completely online.
