Remote digital learning has a long tradition and has been widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, there are knowledge gaps regarding when and for whom remote learning is effective, and the possibilities have not been sufficiently explored in practice. As a result, potential benefits of remote digital learning remain unknown and untapped for many schools, especially affecting vulnerable students who cannot or do not want to attend school. It is precisely this group that seems to benefit from remote digital learning.
Commissioned by Kennisnet, Oberon, in collaboration with Dialogic and Serendips, conducted a literature review to provide insights into what is known about the use, conditions, and outcomes of remote digital learning. In the report titled'The Applicability of Remote Education,' we present the key findings and make recommendations for policy makers, schools, and partnerships looking to implement remote digital learning.
