Strategic Education Fortifies e-Learning in Response to Shutdown
In response to COVID-19-led shutdowns, many for-profit education companies have undertaken initiatives to reach students who aspire to complete their courses as planned, with the help of various online education platforms. Strategic Education, Inc. STRA or SEI — which recently announced free online courses with the Sophia Learning platform and collaborated with Historically Black Colleges And Universities (“HBCUs”) — has extended access to its expertise and products in online learning to more students. Karl McDonnell, CEO of SEI said, "At SEI, we’ve invested in innovation and reimagined our role as not just an education provider, but an enabler of economic mobility - to ensure that our graduates have the skills and tools to succeed professionally." Moreover, the latest initiative will allow SEI to support HBCUs and the students they serve.
