What is Remote Learning?

Remote Learning (sometimes referred to as Distance Learning) was introduced by CIK as a response to the school closures in March 2020.

As the name suggests, it’s all about learning from a distance or remotely. (Sometimes, this form of learning is also referred to as ‘e-learning’ or ‘online learning’.)

Remote learning involves studying away from your school, usually from the comfort of your home.

For our students, remote learning means engaging with assignments and lessons created by the school and these are either sent directly to the student or accessed via a virtual learning environment.

The PDST are a support service for Irish schools.
