While universal trends were certainly already leaning towards more online innovation and a decreased dependency on in-person events, classes, and meetups, COVID-19 has definitely accelerated this movement. Although this can be seen as a disruption and can feel intimidating, in reality, it’s an opportunity for innovation in learning, and to bring new platforms, services, and products to life to serve both students and alumni.
Even post-COVID, the learnings will still serve universities as more students look to complete their coursework 100% online. Making these large scale changes, however, can be difficult for universities to complete on their own – this is where Inventive comes in.
