Your Ultimate Guide To Free Remote Learning Student Resources
With the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak causing a global health crisis, restrictions are resulting in many schools operating partially or entirely remotely forcing families to find ways to supervise their children whilst they learn from home.
As governments around the world have temporarily closed educational institutions this has impacted over 91% of the world’s student population.
To help we've gathered a list of free, open, and downloadable digital platforms, apps and content that can be useful for families, educators, and students to support enrichment and continuity of learning during the COVID-19 outbreak.
