Learning upended: How Americans experienced the shift to remote instruction

Abstract

In spring 2020, schools had to swiftly shift to remate instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cognia surveyed more than 74,000 students, parents, and teachers in the organization’s network about their experiences with the transition. Based on their findings, Mark Elgart says that educators must be attentive to four challenges common to online instruction: maintaining rigor, providing routines, preserving relationships, and ensuring resources are available.
