Australian Institute For Teaching and School Leadership Limited - Spotlight: What Works in online/Distance Teaching and Learning? - Excellent guide for teachers
Title of website:
Spotlight: What Works in online/Distance Teaching and Learning?
By:
Australian Institute For Teaching and School Leadership Limited (aitsl)
From the Introduction:
"The threat posed by COVID-19 has meant that teachers in Australia and around the world are looking for the best ways to continue to support student learning outside the traditional school or early childhood setting. This has meant many are looking towards solutions like virtual / online learning or home-schooling at scale. There are now innumerable new resources and guides and ‘top 10’ best practice lists on how to deliver online education, including a focus on what students and parents should do to make the most of learning virtually. Many of these guides are helpful, however, some resources are based on little more than opinions.
This Spotlight identifies best practice evidence to guide teachers on setting up online learning and advice teachers can give to parents during this process. Key consideration is given to principles demonstrated to benefit student outcomes and wellbeing. As such, this Spotlight is written from the perspective of teachers."
