Since the pandemic, the number of students who are missing class has risen. More than a quarter of students were “chronically absent,” meaning they had missed 10 percent of classes or more, during the 2021-2022 school year. That was a steep increase from the 15 percent of students missing that much class before the pandemic. In fact, absenteeism has become such a nationally notable problem that it was picked up by the White House in May.

Depending upon your learners’ needs and your organization’s performance goals, you could be overlooking considerations that impact the both effectiveness of your courses and how long it takes to finish them. From general capabilities to specific workflow structures, some aspects are critical when it comes to learning objectives and deadlines.
