Top Tools and Apps to Help Remote Learning During the Pandemic

Remote learning tips during COVID pandemic

A week into the new school year during the pandemic. It is a new normal that is trying to function as normally as possible with social distancing and safety measures in place.

Most universities in Canada, for instance, have implemented a blended method that combines both online and in-person learning environments, while younger students across Ontario are also being given the option of attending in-person or attending online. Definitely a change that can disrupt the learning process.

Online learning will rely heavily on new technological platforms and routines. The Internet is key, of course, and while we normally advocate doing things digitally and remotely, such a method isn’t ideal without the right tools to supplement your study plans.

For students, studying remotely now during the pandemic is lacking in things like hands-on lab learning, personal engagement, and one-on-one feedback – all of which can impact your focus and progress.

Essentially, the new normal of this pandemic will be putting the online e-course model to the test like never before. To help with that process, though, we put together a list of some helpful tools and sources that can tweak your studying sessions, your school’s online work, and your remote learning process.

Take a look.

We know that Able2Extract is being used by data journalists to extract PDF data into Excel spreadsheets for analysis. Their ultimate goal? To write news stories that are backed by accurate and credible data.

In this day and age of fake news, though, this level of credibility can be undermined. As such, there is a growing call for journalists to dig deeper into large amounts of digital data and analysis.

This takes skill training, time, and money–all of which can work against you as you continue to work and study your way into the industry.

5 Reasons Why Students Should Invest in a PDF Tool

Reasons students should get a PDF software

With the academic year in full swing, it’s back to classes, homework, and extracurricular activities.

Not only that, but it also means that it’s back to working on a computer, dealing with digital documents, researching online, creating documents, and downloading your readings and handouts from your profs.

Being on a computer, you’ll automatically find yourself searching for the tools you need, whether it be a word processor, an image editor, or a programming tool.

While you may not think it, a PDF tool is an absolute must. This can include anything from taking notes and filling out registration forms to transferring content and editing content.
