More than half of the issues students reported are not unique to virtual programming, but all of them require attention as we design for the virtual environment
While it comes with new problems to solve, virtual programming has meaningfully improved access for many students and we should not go backwards. Being aware of these challenges will help us iterate on our programming as we continue to test and learn. Challenges unique to virtual programming were reported as the worst part of these classes by 37% of the students. These included technical difficulties, a lack of social interaction and trouble staying focused. 54% of students who reported negatives to virtual programming identified issues that existed for wrap- around programs in the traditional setting as well, such as trouble getting individual help from volunteers and needing to make the time to participate.
