Mar 31 2020 | 1 minute read

Schools are being innovative and encouraging their teachers to come up with ways to engage students in meaningful distance learning that meets all of the requirements of a standard lesson now that the lockdown is in full effect.

Distance learning is a way of learning remotely without being in regular face-to-face contact with a teacher in a classroom. Effective distance learning begins with structured activities to keep students focused on their learning goals and performance objectives.

With COVID-19 (Coronavirus) causing school closures and affecting millions of students worldwide, schools are creating distance learning plans to ensure that teaching and learning continue beyond the walls of the traditional classroom. Prodigy School Suite offers tools to manage classrooms, engage learners remotely, communicate, collaborate, manage assessments and stay organized.
