In a world shaped by the coronavirus pandemic, online education shined bright in 2020. As campuses closed, colleges shifted their courses to remote delivery and finished out the semester online. Shifting programs online allows colleges to cast a broader net and not rely on local or regional students to boost their headcount, says Ray Schroeder, associate vice chancellor for online learning at the University of Illinois--Springfield. Phil Regier, university dean for educational initiatives and CEO of EdPlus at Arizona State University, adds: "Students should expect to see more STEM offerings in physical sciences and data science, focus areas in social justice, and study areas that focus on the ethics and rules surrounding media and data consumption."
