COVID-19 and Online Education: plain language research summaries from Kudos

Kudos Support

What is it about?

Researchers from around the world have been using Kudos to share plain language summaries of work relating to coronavirus and COVID-19. On this page, we have grouped together summaries relating to online education, distance learning, e-learning, remote learning and other variations on this theme. Each summary is linked to an original research article, many of which have been made freely available. In some cases, researchers have also added links to other resources that may be helpful at this time.

Why is it important?

Schools and universities around the world have closed as a result of social distancing and self-isolation measures. Millions of schoolchildren and college / university students are now studying online, and hundreds of thousands of teachers and lecturers are making a rapid transition to online education. It is important that relevant research is brought together in one place, with plain language summaries to ensure that teachers, parents, carers and potentially students are all able to learn from past experience and best practice.

Perspectives

The team at Kudos is passionate about the importance of helping a broader audience to find and understand research, through the sharing of plain language summaries. Any researcher can use our free service (www.growkudos.com/register) to add a plain language summary of an existing publication - we will then add those relating to COVID-19 / coronavirus to our theme pages, such as this one. We are also offering 60-day complimentary access to our premium service, Kudos Pro, which can be used to explain and share research that has not yet been published (www.growkudos.com/hub/projects).
