There are different definitions out there, but these are the ones we will use here: 1. Remote education: a broad term encompassing any learning that happens outside of the classroom, with the teacher not present in the same location as the pupils. 2. Digital remote education: often known as online learning, this is remote learning delivered through...

They can make curriculum alignment easier, and can keep pupils’ attention, not least as the teacher has more control over the learning environment. But live lessons are not always more effective than asyn...
It’s harder to engage and motivate pupils remotely than when they are in the classroom. There are more distractions, and as a teacher you’re not physically present to manage the situation. Communicating and working with parents, without putting an unreasonable burden on them, can help support home learning. A lot of attention has been paid to ways ...
