Learning from Home

THE RULE OF 3

AT-HOME LEARNING

1SET UP A DESIGNATED WORK SPACE • Stay face-to-face: video conferencing makes all the difference, so take advantage of that built-in web cam on your laptop! • Be aware of your surroundings: take note of light sources in the room when video conferencing. The video is only as good as what others are able to see! • Mute is your best pal: when not actively speaking, reduce the noise volume by utilizing your mute button. • Resolution of your camera determines the image your class sees.

2STICK TO A SCHEDULE • Simplify, simplify, simplify: increase your mobility without all the cables and connectors in tow by using a dock. • Find your zen: create a designated space to focus – whether that is a home office or your kitchen table. • Stick to a schedule: its difficult to separate the physical distance between school and home life. Designate your online learning 3 hours to specific times and stick to it. STAY ACTIVE • Meet and greet: get comfortable with virtual online learning applications. • Stay up to date: upgrade your technology regularly to use the latest and greatest when it comes to accessories and software. • Be prepared: log into your classes early to check that your video and audio are working properly.

LEARNING FROM HOME

A STUDENT’S WORKSPACE

Distance learning isn’t anything new. For years, people have enjoyed the benefits of remotely attending higher education classes held onsite at a campus located hundreds or even thousands of miles away. Now, amid today’s threat of the coronavirus, K-12 districts are joining the remote learning ranks, quickly needing to create an at-home learning environment. This presents an even newer challenge: parents are also working or learning at home; everyone in the house needs a space to work and learn.

Although this is a temporary setup, a separate learning space will keep the student focused and create a better learning environment. Not only does the student need the space, we as professionals may also be continuing our education to pass the time and take this situation as an opportunity to pick up some

classes.

Remote learning has become the new normal, we want to all make the switch as easily and smooth as possible, but we all may not know what we need to create the best space. With so many people in the same location having to connect digitally, it may get hectic. We want to help, Legrand | AV has multiple solutions that can help optimize the learning space.
