School districts are scrambling to put learning plans in motion to keep learning going, even during school closures. They’re shifting from in-the-building instruction to digital streaming to as many homes as possible, and as quickly as possible. Many teachers have never taught entirely online—and they’re concerned [1]. People still don’t completely understand the benefits of technology and using it as a learning tool.
Transitioning to online learning was once thought of as controversial, or as a solution for only certain parts of curricula. It is now vital for every offer. If you’re struggling to figure out the next move for your students, here are four essential tips to transition smoothly to an online platform:
1. Clear Communication
Our first tip is to plan and execute a communication plan. Select a manageable number of communication channels for your organization and communicate “how to communicate.” Be as transparent as possible when discussing with students and peers.
Continuously communicate, using those channels only, during the transition. Model the behavior you want your learners to have and stick to the protocols you have delivered. Be sure to set expectations that instructors hold virtual office hours and understand protocols for communication with learners.
2. Set Clear Learning Objectives and Expectations
Be upfront about learning objectives for each course. Doing this will allow you to prioritize materials and experiences that must be immediately available online, and those that can transition later. Keep in mind that you may need to ask instructors to revise syllabi to meet critical objectives, rather than a schedule that made sense only for on-ground programs.
Succinctly list your expectations for students to meet the objectives. These must include active engagement. Supporting students online will require different or new methodologies for you. Create a template for your instructors to use to show that students are being encouraged to meet learning objectives.
3. Make the Shift Simple
This transition from in-person to entirely online can be challenging to adjust to; however, it’s entirely possible to do so. Our next tip is to try and make this shift as simple as possible. Offering empathy and understanding for others is a positive step. Try sharing tips and advice for staying connected and optimistic during this era of social distancing.
Professors have been adding in personalization to help make lectures more personal and fun—a New York University professor added in song breaks in-between lessons [1]. Try including random facts, breaks, and other opportunities to make light of the situation or bring in a feeling of togetherness for your students.
4. Setting Up Shop—Choosing Your Platform
The last tip is to decide on a platform that provides all the essentials for a productive online learning environment. When identifying technology toolkits, start by listing your in-person resources and determine which will have online counterparts.
These might include white papers, chalkboards, lecture slides, etc. These may transition to digitized static materials, streamed or recorded discussions, and streamed or recorded digital chats. Determine the technical capabilities of your instructional staff. Then estimate how much IT or vendor support is needed to get set up. Make sure your support plan takes you through the semester.

Tip #1: Designate an area in your home that as your workspace. Invest in equipment/furniture that supports your productivity. And make use of equipment programs that cost-share or that help you be productive!
Tip #2: We know that urgent work comes up (i.e. when 300M kids are suddenly trying to learn online and you’re an online learning company) but blocking times for tasks will keep you on track. And be sure to delegate when you’ll be out of office!
Tip #3: Be as transparent as your organization permits! Amesite believes that bringing your whole self to work is great! Calibrate with your manager, and communicate — otherwise, they’ll assume everything is perfect.
Tip #4: It’s easy for an 8 hr day to become a 10 hr day. Set a timer if you miss lunch or work long hours unintentionally. Also, instead of browsing the internet on breaks sitting in the same position and staring at the same screen, get up and move!
Tip #5: Keep a journal or list of what you’ve accomplished, & prioritize for tomorrow. Tracking your accomplishments will make you feel better. Communicating your accomplishments builds the trust and respect needed for your remote team to be successful!
Tip #6: As an employer, reminding your remote teams that they are valued and appreciated is vital. Maybe buy each of your teammates a house plant to brighten up their workspace and remind them they are supported! Ours arrived last week 🙂
Tip #7: Designate 10 minutes a day for “chit-chat”. This is a great way to build a sense of community and camaraderie with remote teams. We host “Remote Joe” daily and encourage teammates to show up, have a coffee or tea & talk about anything they’d like!
PERU, N.Y., July 13, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Amesite Inc., an artificial intelligence software company providing online learning ecosystems for business, higher education and K-12 announced today they have agreed to provide their platform through the Champlain Valley Educational Services Board of Cooperative Educational Services (CVES BOCES) to the Peru Central School District, to offer online learning courses for students in the district to use in the upcoming school year.
“It’s absolutely imperative that we offer courses that prepare our children for the future, which will require that we innovate in our curricula,” Peru Central School District Superintendent Dr. Thomas Palmer said. “We also want to use the best available technology to offer existing courses and to make them more engaging. We’ve heard from teachers, parents, and students that better tech was needed regardless of whether we are full or part-time distance learning in the next school year. We appreciate the clean design, ease of use and technical capabilities of the Amesite platform, and are pleased and committed to using it in our STEM and workforce programs, to support our teachers and students with the best technology available.”
“We are thrilled to be able to offer our products through the CVES BOCES to the Peru Central School District, and now, to any of the more than 600 public school districts in New York State. The cost-sharing provided by the State of New York puts teachers and students first and helps every district in the State advance their technology through streamlined, cooperative purchasing,” said Amesite Founder and CEO Dr. Ann Marie Sastry. “Parents, teachers and students are all understandably anxious about what learning will look like in September. We just went through a four-month experiment where every student transitioned to online learning at once, and it showed that schools need holistic solutions to deliver their curricula and to expand offerings. We are delighted that the mechanism is now in place for us to help any district in New York, starting with the very innovative team at Peru Central.”
With BOCES support, any school district in New York State can now utilize Amesite’s distance learning tools with a single purchase order.
Peru Central School District is part of the Champlain Valley Educational Services branch of BOCES, which provides career preparation, special education, instructional services, administrative support and professional development for educators, and is a valuable source of assistance to its 16 component school districts as they strive to keep pace with technical advancements and in stride with economic and social uncertainties and change.
