Ep. 24 – The Surprising Benefits of Online Education

Scott Postma July 29, 2021

This is Episode 24 of the Consortium Podcast, an academic audio blog of Kepler Education.

At Kepler, online education is not just the Zoomification of the classroom. It’s so much more than that!

In this episode Scott and Joffre discuss the various ways in which families are talking about the surprising benefits of online education. As they share quotes from conversations with Kepler families, they dive into the dynamics of what parents are celebrating.

They discuss the various ways in which, as well as the reasons why, the home and family lives of Kepler students are being impacted, why parents are more than just satisfied with their children’s academic achievements (they are delighted by them), and how wonder and curiosity are being fostered in an online classroom, all while Kepler teachers maintain their commitment to liberalis, and scholé learning.
