In the process of eight KC Scholars Postsecondary Network campuses participating in CAEL’s AL360 (https://www.cael.org/landing/adult-learner-360) to learn how to be more supportive of adult learners, the COVID pandemic hit. It was decided to seize the moment to learn more about how COVID impacted adult learners and how higher education institutions could provide needed support.
