Remote learning advancements and enhancements

Educators have grappled with numerous challenges in the past two years, from the sudden predominance of EdTech in teaching, to ensuring students still learn meaningfully in various distance learning circumstances. In Singapore, two years’ worth of remote learning experience has given its Ministry of Education the confidence to pilot an AI-powered marking tool, with an emphasis for EdTech to compliment the teaching practice, rather than substitute it. Where remote learning is still an overwhelming reality for many, educators continue to grapple with issues such as engaging students in distance learning, and incorporating empathetic assessments.  

These challenges and innovations are not unique to a single community. Listening closely to the needs of educators on the ground, The HEAD Foundation’s free practitioner-focused webinar series, Making HEADway, once again brings together outstanding educators in Southeast Asia to share best practices in enhancing remote learning. This latest installment covers topics such as engaging your students during distance learning, motivating students to become self-directed learners, enriching remote assessments, and many more.
