There is now a whole raft of official CAS pages on home learning https://www.computingatschool.org.uk/homelearning.

The NCCE has produced a quick read on distance learning in the current lockdown context too.

There seem to be three main approaches being suggested for running classes for pupils who are at home under an Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) context.

1. Asynchronous -material can be accessed at any time, e.g. videos, workbooks

2. Synchronous - real-time e.g. online classes

• "VIRI is defined as a teaching and learning experience that is led by an instructor, that takes place in the online space (over the internet), where all students participate in the experience at the same time, and where the experience involves two-way communication between student and student or student and instructor" (Francescucci & Foster, 2013, p.82)

3. A combination of the two.

• Fabulous thread on twitter from @chinmay. Click on SHOW THREAD. of a list of methods for peer collaboration and conversation in online learning. Brilliant.

A very comprehensive list of ideas and resources for teaching remotely thank you @TorreyTrust

• Some time ago, UCL led the creation of the ABC learning design method for developing blended learning courses in universities. The resources include a method for reviewing current face to face lessons and converting to online. They have a toolkit which includes a brilliant set of cards which map "conventional" to digital activities. These are behind a username/password but its free. We could adapt these for a primary/secondary and subject-specific context. We could add software ideas and examples. Feels like a simple and easy way to help teachers tackle conversion. https://abc-ld.org/about/intro-to-abc/
