Virtual Community Education Learner Focus Group and Learner Survey

The first Virtual Community Education Learner Focus Group was held via Zoom on Friday, 12 June 2020. Six learners, who had been engaging in community education with various providers across the country participated in the discussion. Over the course of the hour-long discussion, learners were asked to reflect on their experiences of continuing their community education courses during the current COVID-19 crisis. Learners were also invited to fill out an optional survey detailing their learning experiences. The survey completed was open to all learners participating in community education across the country during the COVID-19 restrictions, not just those who attended the focus group. A total of 66 learners from a variety of community education courses across the country filled out the survey.
