by Will Chambers on 7th Oct, 2020
Education was forced online during a tumultuous 2020. From schooling to tuition, live instruction became a virtual affair as lockdowns of varying severity came into effect around the world.
That dramatic change is looking more than temporary, with the winter surge of coronavirus leading to renewed restrictions and 99% of tutors planning to continue tutoring online for the next year.
- What have students and educators made of this shift?
- What’s proved challenging?
- Have there been some unexpected benefits?
- How can everyone get the most out of live online tutoring over the coming year?
This report seeks to answer those questions and many more. It synthesises data from the most comprehensive survey into online tutoring to date, featuring over 2,000 students and educators, with engagement data from over half a million hours on Bramble’s live online teaching platform.
The final part of the report goes further. By analysing the content of live lessons it explores the topics and concepts students focus on with their tutors – providing unprecedented insight into the areas students struggle with.
