I found this course very helping in helping me to be able to support my learners and making sure that their needs are met.
Made me think about how I would use what I do in the classroom now to suit a totally remote learning experience.
This is a very big topic and ambitious to cover in a short bite sized module - but definitely some good points raised. Points about induction are especially important. - some great ETF guidance on this https://enhance.etfoundation.co.uk/category/connected-and-effective .
Difficult to know whether the idea of asking learners to share image of themselves in their home working setting is wise. Where inequalities exist it could cause feelings of embarrassment for some.
Importance of additional learning need support deserves more than a final sentence!
Some useful hints & tips
Very valid points which are relevant to the learning and pastoral processes.
Great info
confusing
Informative
Really useful it highlights the importance of collaborative learning and ways to keep a check on learners welfare.

This included some good tips and ideas.
Maintaining social aspects of the learner is so important to avoid isolation and promote a learning community.
A good reminder of important things to look out for when supporting learners online.
