Remote learning webinar by Education Nation: "How Estonia organized distance learning on a national level?“

This Thursday we host a free online webinar to offer support for all of those affected by the current COVID-19 coronavirus crisis of switching to online education. Estonia, the leading education nation in Europe, has become a role model for digital education.

During the webinar we're talking about prerequisites for the transition to digital learning and share practical tips that other countries could take over from the practice of Estonia as a digital country to support schools and students in the transition to digital learning. What is more, we're introducing Ed-Tech's first challenges, obstacles and lessons learned from the transition to remote digital learning.
