  • Within the Continuation of Learning Strategy it is paramount that there is equity for all. Part of this equity is to ensure ALN learners have access to the relevant Hwb tools so they can engage in their learning through the different digital platforms. This section provides ‘how to guides’ on how practitioners can support their ALN learners during the current crisis.

  • In the previous sections ‘how to guides’ have been developed to support the issuing of tasks and resources, the support videos in this section purely focus on providing feedback to learners. In the current crisis wellbeing is at the forefront of everyone’s minds and should be a priority when supporting learners. By providing ongoing feedback to learners you can both encourage and engage them in the distance learning process whilst support their wellbeing and establishing clear reasoning for the need to continue with their learning.
