With unexpected events requiring K-12 schools to adopt remote learning initiatives, e-Learning has never been more important. We are outlining what e-Learning means for K-12 education, why it is so important to the current and future education landscape, and how to implement e-Learning initiatives in your school or district.

What Is e-Learning?

Before we dive in, we need to
acknowledge one thing:
Technology has redefined the K-12
education industry...

3. But, more recently, global events have
required educators to find new ways to
facilitate e-Learning from a distance,
reshaping the entire K-12 landscape as we
know it.

Instruction is no longer only about
lesson plans and curriculum – it’s
about implementing the right
technology to make these lessons
effective, especially in an e-
Learning or remote learning
environment.

5. E-Learning has been a growing industry since
the late 1980s, but e-Learning has never been
more important...

6. Unexpected events can arise, requiring
schools and districts to transition to e-
Learning quickly and effectively in a
proactive manner.

7. E-Learning is all about one thing:
Utilizing learning technologies to maximize
lesson plans and curriculum outside of the
physical classroom for both teachers and
students.

8. At a minimum, e-Learning is about
implementing the necessary technology
tools to make learning accessible and
possible for students outside of traditional
classroom walls.

By not just facilitating learning
remotely, but enhancing the e-
Learning environment to engage
and excite students, K-12 schools can
ensure that learning is continually
maximized, even in the face of
unanticipated events.

“Technology integration should be at
least one of three things. Either you use it
for engagement, efficiency, or
enhancement of the overall curriculum.”

This is even more true
for e-Learning

Technology should be used with a
purpose to maximize the overall e-
Learning experience

“It’s incredible when all three of those elements come
together because then it’s a maximized experience.
Thinking about it from that standpoint, I try to center
my instructional strategy with these three goals in
mind, as well as look for learning technology that
achieves at least one of these goals.”

Technology Checklist
● Make sure teacher devices and student devices are updated
with necessary hardware and software requirements.
● Activate your school or district’s required accounts, such as
your LMS (online course management platform), school email
accounts, and any classroom management software that is e-
Learning compatible.
● Make sure teachers and any other faculty members are aware
of and know how to use e-Learning communication channels
and tools (i.e. Zoom, Google Hangout, etc.)

Self-Management Checklist
● Update the class syllabus or school-wide objectives. Make sure
all objectives, readings, and assignment requirements are
accessible and align with the e-Learning format.
● Encourage Teachers, Tech Coaches and students to set goals
and priorities for classes. Goals will give everyone direction and
energy to overcome barriers that arise in remote learning
environments.
● Help students and teachers plan out a personal learning or
teaching schedule. Effective time management is a key factor
for success in remote learning environments.
