The Benefits of Distance Learning During The COVID-19 Pandemic

In light of the global pandemic we are continuing to face, distance or online learning has become a viable and effective option for many schools to continue to engage, assess, and educate students. The pivot to distance learning as the accepted norm is evident in the increased number of educational apps, virtual tutoring, video conferencing tools, and online learning software just in the past six months.

To avoid compromising the health of teachers, students, and parents, distance learning has provided a new way of teaching in unprecedented times. Educators and parents may still be scrambling for practical solutions for teaching students and managing school operations during what will be the ‘new normal’ for the next few months or even longer.

That’s why, during this challenging time, selecting one of Sycamore’s school management systems is an ideal solution for schools to bring students and faculty together so that learning can continue even in a remote setting.

Major Benefits of Distance Learning:

Learn on your own schedule. Students can learn at their own pace in a relaxed and safe environment, as some distance learning gives students the freedom to pick and choose their schedule. As a result, this gives them the flexibility to succeed on their own time at their own pace. While some schools may require students to follow a strict schedule, it still provides a comfort for the students to learn in their own home environment.

Home environment may be less stressful for some students. Although nothing can make up for the missed extracurricular activities and social relationships found by attending school in person, many students have reported feeling relaxed studying from home. This is where they can participate in videoconferences for their classes at the click of a button and study at their own pace. The majority of families are able to set up a learning environment at home for students to learn. That way, students are less distracted and can focus on their schoolwork.

Distance learning teaches vital skills. Time management skills are imperative to success in online learning, and these are skills students can take with them into their future careers. From establishing a school-home balance to meeting project deadlines, distance learning forces students to discover the best ways to utilize and prioritize their time.

Education apps, platforms, and distance learning resources for parents, teachers, schools, and school administrators have never been more important than they are now. Not only does distance learning help facilitate and monitor academic engagement, it can also help fill that void of social interaction and communication while schools are closed.
