Beyond the Bench: What the Latest Data Reveals About Online Learning & the Future of STEM

Join us Wednesday, November 12 at Noon ET for an in-depth look at the trends reshaping higher education. This live session brings together new research from Science Interactive’s Annual Lab Report and Quality Matters’ Changing Landscape of Online Education (CHLOE) report to examine how institutions are navigating today’s most pressing challenges — across STEM and beyond.

Registration

From shifting enrollment patterns to rising faculty workload, student preparedness, and the rapid integration of AI, this session explores how the forces transforming science labs mirror broader changes across the entire higher education ecosystem.

You’ll gain research-backed insights on:

  • How faculty and student expectations are evolving in hybrid and online environments
  • What AI adoption is teaching institutions about quality, integrity, and scale
  • Why programs in applied fields like Allied Health offer a preview of what’s next for workforce-aligned education
  • How to balance rigor, flexibility, and readiness across all disciplines and learning environments

Join the conversation that connects the dots between STEM, online learning, and the future of higher education.
