For many years, the Horizon Report has been tracking trends, technologies and key practices in teaching and learning. But this year, there's one striking difference: the impact of a global pandemic on practically every aspect of higher education. In some ways, colleges and universities may never be the same — but in other ways, trends that were important before COVID-19 have persisted, even as we view them through a new lens. To make sense of it all, Executive Editor Rhea Kelly speaks with Kathe Pelletier, director of EDUCAUSE's Teaching and Learning Program and co-author of the report, about key technology trends, their impact on IT departments, new education models and more.
