What Is Distance Learning? • Distance education is fundamentally different to other forms of teaching or learning. • The best forms of distance education are digital. • Live lessons are always the best way of teaching. • The most important thing is the engagement of pupils.Distance education: any learning that happens physically away from the classroom and the teacher Digital distance education: Distance learning delivered through digital technologies BLENDED learning: a mix of in-person face-to-face learning and remote learning Synchronous learning: live teaching and learning Asynchronous learning: prepared by the teacher and accessed at a later dateCommon Myths

High-Quality Curriculum and Excellent Teaching Everything we know about effective teaching still applies, including the following:The distance education curriculum needs to be aligned to the classroom curriculum as much as possible. Share explicit learning objectives/ curricular goals Share an overview of the bigger picture and where a lesson fits into it Build on pupils’ prior learning Set clear and high expectationsDifferentiate for different learning needs Follow a carefully sequenced curriculum Give effective feedback Use assessment of learning to inform teaching

Feedback and Assessment Successful ways of giving immediate feedback include: • chat box discussions; • self-marking during whole-class lessons; • interactive touch-screen questioning in live lessons; • quizzes; • break-out rooms with pupils grouped together for similar feedback or targets.Feedback and assessment are as important as ever but can be a challenge to provide in distance teaching. Ways to give feedback asynchronously : • submitting work by email or on the school’s online platform and returning it with comments and annotations • building feedback into the following lesson Regular teacher-pupil contact is important. Automated messages have been used to check in with pupils and reduce teacher workload.

Method of Delivery The quality of teaching matters much more than the medium used. Pupils are engaged in distance lessons for longer on a laptop than phone. Tablets are more effective than phones but less effective than laptops. Digital or paper- based? Synchronous or asynchronous? Whole-class, group or individual? We need to make sure that children have the right device and access to the Internet, or consider the use of non- digital approaches. Avoid platforms that use advertisments, which will distract pupils (e.g. YouTube).

Keeping It Simple What can we keep simple? Resources Graphics Online platforms What can we do? It isn’t necessary to make huge changes to the way we teach. It’s harder for pupils to concentrate when being taught remotely. Integrate pictures into longer sections of text. Divide content into smaller chunks. Alternate different methods of learning between chunks.

Live lessons are not the ‘most effective way’ of distance education; they are not always the most effective method of teaching. Alternatives to live lessons: • recorded lesson segments followed by interactive chats • recorded lesson segments followed by tasks and feedback • recorded lessons produced externally by expert subject teachers • ‘ flipped learning’ Advantages of live/ synchronous learning It is easier to continue providing the normal curriculum. It holds pupils’ attention for longer periods of time. The teacher has more control over the learning environment. Advantages of asynchronous learning More flexibility for teachers, pupils and parents. Allows more time to interact with individual pupils. Easier to give individual feedback.

What Is Flipped Learning? Flipped learning consists of an asynchronous recorded input followed by synchronous practice, tutoring or feedback. Contents This means that the instruction contained in a traditional whole-class input is accessed by pupils individually. Then there is time for the whole class or groups to come together to learn in a dynamic, interactive way, with the teacher assessing and giving feedback. REFLECTION: What do you think are the benefits of flipped learning? How could you use or adapt this method in your teaching? Teacher records a lesson input which pupils access in their own time. The class come together for activities, discussions and peer/ teacher feedback.

Adapting the Curriculum However, some changes may be helpful to adapt the content to distance learning: • Introduce new learning in smaller chunks and assess before moving on. • Prioritise the most important knowledge or concepts. • Find alternatives for practical activities, e.g. adapt to home environment, use simulations, share videos, etc. • Practising existing skills and knowledge is very effective during shorter periods of distance learning.distance learning should follow the normal classroom curriculum as much as possible.

Peer Interactions Peer interactions have been found to provide motivation and improve learning outcomes. They also help pupils maintain their social skills. Types of peer interaction: • whole-class live video lessons • chat messaging groups for discussion • putting pairs or groups into ‘break-out rooms’ for a discussion or to share work • peer marking • sharing examples of pupils’ work with the whole class.

Engagement Engagement matters but it is only the start; engagement is not learning itself. Beware of putting too much effort into engaging pupils and getting distracted from the learning. Barriers to engagement in remote learning: • more distractions • teacher isn’t physically present to manage the situation Aids to engagement: • communicating and working with parents • peer interactions • helping pupils to feel part of the school community (whole-school digital assemblies, sharing learning, newsletters to pupils) REFLECTION: What helps your remote learners to feel part of a whole-school community while they are learning at home? What else could you do?
