Tracking the online education journey - the good, bad, and undecided - during the COVID-19 pandemic.

June 1, 2020

In the last few years, we’ve done a lot of work with high schoolers - learning how they learn, how they spend their free time, and what they truly value in life. A common thread running through all our projects has been the value of online tools and how they are reshaping life as older generations know it.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit and kids suddenly shifted to online learning throughout the country, we knew we had a unique chance to see the potential for virtual school. We enlisted a group of high schoolers kids and tracked them until they finished the school year.

So we were all ready for virtual leaning? No! But not for just the obvious reasons. There is so much more to the story and we break it down for you in this video.

The future of education arrived in the US in March. So how did it go? In true Candor fashion, we skipped consulting with the education "experts" and went right to the source - the students. In this video, we break down the good, the bad, and the undecided of virtual school. The results...they were surprising.
