Podcast: The Key with Inside Higher Ed: Dealing with Students’ Learning Loss

Posted by Inside Higher Ed on July 27, 2021

This episode of The Key, Inside Higher Ed‘s news and analysis podcast, explores how colleges are preparing to gauge the extent of — and respond to — the “learning loss” that incoming and returning students may have experienced amid the pandemic.

We talk with Natasha Jankowski, former executive director of the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, who is now a consultant on student learning and a lecturer at New England College, and Ereka R. Williams, associate provost for academic strategy and institutional effectiveness at Winston-Salem State University, in North Carolina. They discuss how professors and staff members who work with students might go about understanding which students have been set back and in what ways, and how to get them back on track.
