Elevate your distance learning processes with digital forms and data capture

With the challenges presented by COVID-19, it can be difficult for teachers to maintain critical communication and necessary collaboration with students and families learning from home. Distance learning presents a variety of new obstacles for educators, who must now navigate how to gather homework assignments, IEPs, and other documentation, which traditionally require in-person interaction and the exchange of documents. 

Online forms enable teachers to simplify communication and collaboration with students learning from home. With online forms, teachers can easily digitize their existing documents in a drag-and-drop form builder (no code or IT support required) and easily share links to their forms with students at home. These online forms can be shared partially filled with data or left completely blank for them to fill out. 

For example, if a teacher were to share a permission slip with students and families learning at home, it could be shared with the destination, chaperone, and Date fields completed and uneditable and only the student name and parent/guardian Signature field left editable. 

Once completed, online forms can be instantly accessed, reviewed, and processed by teachers and school administrators – accelerating document retrieval and eliminating traditional form delivery delays. This streamlined document sharing and retrieval process saves educators incredible time and improves communication with students and families, despite the limitations of distance learning.
