5 Top Tips for embedding Distance Learning into your teaching strategy
1. Encourage learners to create a dedicated study environment free from distractions.
2. Set clear instructions for each task and ensure your learners understand the learning outcomes.
3. Blend new learning with revision – set your class a weekly challenge to revise a topic that you’ve already taught them.
4. Use it as an opportunity to support their personal development and to learn key skills required for life beyond education.
5. Let your learners know that you are available for help if they are struggling. Provide them with your contact details and consider setting up a private chat group for your class such as Teams or Facebook.
