Distance teaching became a habit following the various lockdowns that happened in 2020. The pandemic we've known drastically changed the way we learn and the way we teach. There is a real need for change !

Are you part of the administrative or teaching staff in universities or (under)graduate schools? 👩‍🏫

We know how much of a whirlwind the switch between traditional teaching methods and digital methods has been for all of you.

Our team has drawn a list of your needs and we took out three digital tools that will make your lives easier through:

While it's true that blending learning has improved since January, a vast majority of teachers still teach remotely.   

Two very natural question then aris among teachers:

• "how can we manage a class while enforcing the government's health measures?"
• "how can we keep human interaction while not being physically in the classroom ?"

Well, the key is to gather your students and implement a synchronous activities calendar.
You put the spotlight on practice, class exchanges and sharing !
If it means going a bit slower than the curriculum would like you to go, then so be it !
Technology allows you to do better and try something new.
