The Online Institute was launched in 2020 by Worcester Polytechnic Institute in response to the global educational emergency caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Its goal is to assist higher education institutions by empowering them to develop online educational programs to meet their needs. We conducted interviews, surveys, and researched online learning platforms. We created a website, recorded instructional videos, and developed recommendations for improving event participation, for using online learning platforms, and for expanding the reach of the Online Institute.
