In this episode, we look at how lessons from education research can be used to reduce the learning losses from online learning. Reporter Jimena González-Ramírez speaks with education researchers Carycruz Bueno, Maya Escueta, and Cassandra Hart about the learning losses associated with online learning and how technology and other innovative approaches can be used to reduce these losses. Jasmine Fuller, Cool Things Reporter, explains the "Bored Teacher" project and highlights the work of Nick Huntington and Gema Zamarro Rodriguez, two education economists working on research that can be used to improve learning outcomes of disadvantaged groups. We'll close our episode with Matt Lazzarino, Little Solutions Reporter, who will share small solutions to improve online learning at home.
