Remote Learning That Matters with Jason Black, Program Director at Black River Innovation Campus

In this episode of Illuminate Higher Education, N2N Services CEO Kiran Kodithala speaks with Black River Innovation Campus's Program Director, Jason Black. Jason has a unique mix of skills as a teacher in the classroom, a subject matter expert on early stage tech entrepreneurship, and an author. Both of his parents were educators working in colleges as well, so moving into that industry was organic for him. In his words, he "eats, breathes, and sleeps'' anything involving higher education.

Jason breaks down the two types of learners (lifelong learners and working learners) and the challenges they face when learning in a remote environment. The additional challenge for some instructors is translating the classroom content into an online format.

The phrase that tends to be thrown around is to "teach them where they are," and it's part of how Jason approaches all of his teaching. He needs to understand the person and what they are facing, especially during an objectively difficult year.
