Title: Learning Upgrade’s Remote Learning Action Plan
Learning Upgrade has a plan to help you continue delivering education remotely without direct student contact. With many education providers now required to teach exclusively online, our plan enables you to provide all steps of instruction remotely with students using their smartphones and devices. This webinar will train teachers to remotely self enroll their students, view class reports, and reward student achievement.

You can print your class code guide with student instructions here: Class Code Sheet
This guide is available in English and Spanish, with buttons at the top left of the guide page to toggle between the two. You will also find a ‘Send to Printer’ button where you can print this guide or use your printer destination menu options to ‘Save as PDF’.
Your students can complete lessons on their tablets, smartphones, and computers. Download the Learning Upgrade App on the Apple App Store and Android Google Play Store, or open the web app using a browser.

Learning Upgrade is a Remote Learning Solution for All
Adult Education
Instructors for traditional and blended-learning classes can use remote onboarding to enroll learners and then track progress. Tutor-based literacy programs including libraries can transition from in-person to home learning using remote onboarding, automatic placement, and tracking. The smartphone-based remote curriculum includes Literacy, ESL, ABE, Math, and GED Prep content.
English Learners
Students at all ESL levels can onboard into a proven curriculum using teacher or automatic placement. The step-by-step lessons with interactive voice and visual help give students a path upward to English proficiency using their own smartphones and devices at home.
K-12, SPED, and Gifted
Teachers and schools can use remote on-boarding with student or parent smartphones to give students engaging lessons in a standards-based curriculum. Teachers working from home can place students with special needs or gifted students at different levels that are responsive to their needs and then track progress and reward success.
Homeless, Migrant, Refugee Students
Remote onboarding and smartphone-based learning can help families who are homeless, migrants, or refugees cope with school closures. New approaches for delivering learning to these communities developed over the past two years can be scaled up rapidly.
