New Virtual Office Hours Announced for Instructional Tech Support for Online Learning

As school districts are deciding if they will offer voluntary or required continuous learning options for students, you might be getting some questions related to online delivery for those options. The instructional technology team at Heartland AEA will continue to support schools on this journey. Please read their newsletter and learn about the large array of support and resources they are offering schools. Share this with your colleagues as they reach out to you.

Their newsletter references the Online Learning in Emergency Situations module created by AEA Learning Online. The outcomes of this 2-hour module are to:

• Understand the context of emergency learning, and how it intersects with online learning
• Analyze the key components of successfully implementing emergency learning, at grade-appropriate levels
• Identify the key components of online learning
• Connect to additional resources to go in-depth on those key components more

AEA Learning Online also publishes a Learning System Administrator Newsletter. They have been posting new information and resources several times a week. If you are interested, this would be another learning source for you in this area.
