Forum helps educators and students adapt to social distancing in the classroom

There’s no question—things are going to look different for students and teachers returning to school in the coming months. Between creating new outdoor classrooms and establishing socially-distant seating arrangements, universities and high schools are reshaping the in-person school experience as we know it. 

But new, creative technologies are arising that enable students to learn while practicing social distancing—like the in-person presentation app Forum. Professors and teachers can use Forum to directly connect a whole classroom of devices to share presentations, field questions, poll students, and share downloadable class materials—all while staying at least six feet apart. It also doesn’t require the internet—so if your lecture hall has a weak internet connection or you’re conducting an outdoor class—you can still incorporate digital lesson plans without any hiccups.

According to the New York Times, outdoor gatherings reduce the chance of contracting the coronavirus in comparison to being indoors—so academic institutions such as Rice University in Houston are adapting to the times by building outdoor classrooms. They definitely won’t be the last to do so, so incorporating tech like Forum will help educators transition into these new environments with ease and ensure that students can still follow along with the lesson plan no matter where they’re seated.
