Resources for Remote and Distance Learning
Discover remote learning with Intel and see how Intel is helping administrators, educators, and parents navigate the present realities of remote school and to find the future of virtual and hybrid learning.
How to Master Remote Learning
What happens when learning has to come home? How can we keep students on the path to success when all teaching happens online via a computer screen? COVID-19 has forced all schools to address the challenge of remote school, and Intel has solutions not only for making distance learning better in the here and now, but to put schools on a path to long-term success with tips and strategies for remote learning, resources for educators and parents, and help finding the technologies that can deliver the future of education.
Tips and Strategies for Remote Learning Success
Education has transformed. The move from in-class to anywhere learning is both a challenge and a golden opportunity. Once a school is remote learning enabled, it can evolve to an “anywhere learning” model, which gives teachers and students new avenues for success and access to new technology tools. This shift has to start with the needs of the students, which go beyond simple study at home curricula and lectures via online videoconferencing platforms.
Keeping Students Engaged
Young people are digital natives, but student engagement in remote learning requires a distance learning platform that enables active learning and allows educators to refresh the teaching modality. Whether it’s producing engaging video content, playing educational games, or employing project-based learning, taking the boredom out of remote learning means giving students the chance to learn new skills and collaborate.
Taking Care of Students’ Needs
Distance learning needs to address the emotional health and social well-being of students. For example, frequent use of breakout rooms and project-based learning can meet social needs with small group collaboration and help students develop in-demand job skills. Intel has developed a list of approaches to a more satisfying virtual classroom experience.
Exploring Blended Learning
Education will never be quite the same. Blended or hybrid learning—where part of the class happens in person in the classroom, and part of it takes place remotely at home—gives students flexible ways to learn and provides teachers with new engagement tools. Once a school has evolved its infrastructure to support “anywhere learning,” it can all but eliminate unexpected disruptions, like snow days.
Tools and Resources for Remote Learning
Intel is helping governments, administrators, IT staff, teachers, and parents get the most out of the virtual classroom experience.
Remote Learning for Administrators
To successfully adopt distance education experiences, educational leaders need a plan that supports the implementation of exceptional device management and that gives them a path for integrating new technologies and future smart classroom innovations.
Remote Teaching Resources
Teachers are the beating heart of remote learning. Their understanding of its possibilities and ability to tackle its challenges is central to the success of a virtual classroom program. Intel is helping teachers get these new skills and is creating a community for educators to collaborate.
A Distance Learning Guide for Parents
Remote learning has put more responsibility on parents to manage their children’s education. Intel has a detailed list of recommendations to improve the online learning with strategies for establishing learning workspaces, managing student devices, and more.
