  5. Key terms • Remote learning is a method of instruction in which teachers and students are separated by time, location, or both and interact through technology-based and non-technology-based mechanisms. • Virtual learning is instruction during which students and teachers are separated by time, location, or both and interact through Internet-connected computers or other electronic devices (National Forum for Education Statistics 2015). • Synchronous: A teacher and student or students interacting at the same time (via video, phone, chat, or other medium). • Asynchronous: Students work on their own, and interaction with teacher is not simultaneous (for example, via email, text message, or completing instructional packets). - - I E S ~I~ Institute of "1tl~ Education Sciences 5

  12. The research landscape: Making the most of evidence-informed insights Strategy What might we take away from this? Online learning Face-to-face or synchronous time with teachers is critical Feedback, tutoring, and Students require ongoing feedback, support, and relationships with their support teachers and their peers Project-based learning Employ human-centered design principles to solve problems and foster out-of-the-box thinking Gaming or virtual simulations Employ activities that engage students and use techniques drawn from behavioral science to remove friction points Plan beyond content delivery Provide resources and materials to help supplement student learning - - I E S ~I~ Institute of "1tl~ Education Sciences 12

Some key research questions • Which remote learning strategies most effectively engage students? • Which remote learning strategies best promote academic achievement? • Which strategies are most effective for specific students, such as students with disabilities or English language learners? • Which strategies support and engage parents? - - I E S ~I~ Institute of "1tl~ Education Sciences 13
