BENEFITS OF REMOTE

LEARNING DURING THIS


TIME OF PANDEMIC
1. HELPING STUDENTS DEVELOP
EMPATHY FOR OTHERS

• There’s nothing like a pandemic to make us feel


like we are all in the same boat. This has provided
a unique opportunity for students to understand
how others are experiencing a situation that they
themselves are living through. Many teachers have
used this as great starting point for using design
thinking to understand the needs of others.
2. STUDENTS IDENTIFYING AND
SOLVING REAL-WORLD PROBLEMS

• In an ideal world learning should always be


connected to students own lives and be based on
authentic contexts and experiences. Teachers have
grasped the opportunity for students to tackle
some of the many real-world problems presented
by the pandemic. 
3. GREATER CONNECTION BETWEEN
HOME AND SCHOOL

• We’ve always known that learning is most effective when


there is a partnership between school and home. Remote
learning models have created a need for families to be
actively involved in their children’s learning. Of course this
has been challenging for busy parents juggling multiple
demands, but it’s also seen many parents becoming more
involved in and aware of their children’s learning.
4. SHIFT TO DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY
• Digital technologies have been part of learning in
classrooms for a long time now but the shift to remote
learning has seen teachers relying on them more than ever
to provide quality learning experiences. Many teachers have
developed their capacity for embedding technology in their
teaching and found innovative ways to maximise the
potential of digital tools. Remote learning is shifting digital
tools from a ‘nice to have’ to a ‘must have’.
5. STUDENTS DEVELOPING 21ST CENTURY
SKILLS

• Remote learning models are giving students a unique


opportunity and purpose for developing and applying
many important 21st century skills. Students are learning
new ways to collaborate and communicate as they interact
with their classmates and educators in new ways. They are
also increasingly being asked to think critically and
creative and solve problems as they find new ways of
accessing and demonstrating their learning.
USEFUL TO DEVELOP FUTURE SKILLS

• In this new age, technology has been changing the way we


work and live. If you want to plan for future challenges, so
the implementation of the new technology is important.
Both educators and students are seeking to embrace the
new technical methods and applications with the rising use
of technology in the educational vertical
AFFORDABILITY

• Reduced fee structures are another advantage of


professional learning and online learning. In contrast with
physical schooling, online schooling is much more
accessible. This is because online schooling reduces the cost
of accommodation for students, food for students, and
most notably, real estate.
• The online learning system can be customised in several
ways, with its variety of choices and tools. It is the only
way to build a perfect learning atmosphere that is suitable
for each student’s needs.
FLEXIBILITY

• Online curriculum encourages the teacher and the student


to set their own rate of learning, and there is the extra
versatility of setting a timetable that suits the agenda of all.
As a result, it makes for a greater balancing between jobs
and studies by having an online education tool, so there is
no reason to give up something. Studying online teaches
you vital skills in time management, which makes it easier
to find a good work-study balance.
It allows for a customized learning experience.
EFFICIENCY

• Online learning is an easy means for teachers to


offer lessons to pupils. There are a range of
resources for online learning, such as videos,
PDFs, interviews, so all these options can be used
by teachers as part of their teaching materials.
Teachers are willing to become more effective
learners by expanding the lesson plan beyond
conventional textbooks to incorporate educational
content.
