The change to virtual learning for every student has disrupted established delivery models and created completely new challenges for everyone. But has it also created new equity gaps for students? The Foothill-De Anza Community College District partnered with Invoke Learning to better understand the engagement patterns of students engaged in virtual learning and discovered surprising results relating to disproportionate impacts of specific student communities. This presentation will provide a deep look into how student engagement in the online LMS was captured, assessed, and evaluated—including the analysis of engagement equity gaps relating to virtual learning and the discussions that are now taking place within the institution.
