Its no secret that many industries have been
affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Schools, in
particular, have been largely impacted with their
traditional classroom routines being changed
dramatically. In an effort to reduce loss of
learning and its drastic impact on students
futures, distance learning is a noteworthy
solution going forward.
3
During this difficult time, school management
systems are able to offer distance learning as a
resource tool to continue to connect,
communicate, and educate students.
4
Given the situation, there has never been a
better time to shift to distance learning. While
the tool is primarily used as a precautionary
measure to keep teachers and students safe and
healthy, distance learning certainly has its fair
share of advantages.
5
Some of the advantages of distance learning are
as follows

• Distance learning offers greater flexibility and
  convenience for both the teachers and students,
  enabling them to take a more flexible approach
  towards education.
• It allows students to study and learn at their
  own pace.
• Distance learning can be cost-effective in many
  ways.

6

• It facilitates more effective one-on-one
  student-teacher interactions (teachers can
  schedule private Zoom meetings, direct emails,
  etc.)
• Lessons can be posted any time of the day, and
  live video lecture sessions could also be
  provided through video-conferencing tools like
  Zoom, Skype, and other video conferencing
  platforms.

School management systems often come equipped
with vital tools that not only allow institutions
to easily maintain the overall records of
students, but also take care of critical aspects
of academics. The various features and tools
within the learning software will enable schools
and universities to go ahead with their planned
schedule for the current academic year as best as
they possibly can.

Here are just some of the powerful features of
distance learning tools integrated with school
management system software

• Teachers can record and upload lectures, upload
  study materials, post announcements, conduct
  online assessments, quizzes, and homework for
  students. Not to mention, Zoom integration can
  help them conduct live video lectures and
  communicate with students.

9

• Students can view curriculum, lectures, access
  study materials, complete quizzes, and upload
  assignments. Additionally, theyll be able to
  engage with their peers and teachers using the
  discussion forums.
• Resources can be easily uploaded to the system
  from a teachers local drive, Google Drive, or
  other cloud-based programs.

Ultimately, distance learning isnt here to
replace the standard methods of teaching, but
rather, act as a possible solution when teaching
in the classroom is not an option. Not to
mention, the convenience of distance learning
gives students the opportunity to learn at their
own pace, at any time of day, and in a setting of
their choosing.

No one is certain as to when the world and
everyday life will return to normal, but until
then, distance learning is a powerful resource
that schools can easily take advantage of through
a powerful and integrated school management
system. To learn more about how Sycamore School
