In recent weeks, COVID-19 has dramatically impacted schools, teachers, students and families around the globe. With schools experiencing closures, thousands of educators have been working tirelessly to support their students and keep them reading and learning at home.

Epic wants to help. We are offering FREE worldwide Remote Student Access to Epic through the end of the school year (June 30th, 2020), by teacher invitation - no credit card required. Families only need an invitation from their teacher to get started. Students will have anywhere, anytime access to the full Epic library on all devices (including web browsers, the iOS app and the Android app), and teachers can stay connected to their students by assigning books and collections and tracking reading activity and progress.

Sounds great! Can anyone get Remote Student Access??
Remote Student Access is only available by invitation from an educator. Individual families are not eligible for this offer if a child's teacher is not using Epic. The good news? Epic is always free to educators and educators can sign up for their free account in a matter of minutes by following the instructions below.

Educators must send each students' parent or guardian an invitation from the student roster page.

2. You will receive an email confirmation once the family account is successfully linked

What does the Remote Student Access Experience include? Students can log on via a web browser on a desktop or laptop computer, or the Epic app on iOS or Android. The apps are free to download from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.

Students can access the full library of over 40,000 e-books, audiobooks, learning videos, and quizzes that is available to them in class. (Materials in Spanish, French and Chinese, too!)

Educators can assign a book, or collections of books, to individual students or to the entire class. Educators can monitor their students' reading activity via their student reading logs.

The global community is trying their best to cope with the rapidly evolving situation surrounding the spread of COVID-19. Governments are trying to quell panic while being appropriately cautious to contain the spread. Individuals are preserving their own and their families' health by minimizing exposure. And businesses, particularly those that have logistics at the core, are struggling to find ways to mitigate damage to their bottom line and productivity. These are no doubt challenging times, and signs point to things getting worse before they get better.

As a company, we've been observing and thinking deeply about what actions to take as this virus continues to spread around the globe, and how to be as helpful as we possibly can be. Here is what we came up with.

Loom's responsibility to help during COVID-19

It's our mission to empower everyone at work to communicate more effectively wherever they are. While Loom's screen recorder is used daily by all kinds of people and teams, not just the remote and distributed kind, our product is particularly useful to people who, for whatever reason, can't be in the same room.

This is clearly the case for us when we ask the entire company to work remotely for a week every other month:

During our last remote week, recordings by Loommates increased by nearly 40%.

The rapid spread of COVID-19 has led to a dramatic surge in the number of people working remotely - many of them forced. Like other software products that are especially useful for remote work and asynchronous communication, we've seen a sudden and dramatic increase in usage where schools are closing, in-person events are canceled, and businesses are asking employees to work from home.

For example, as of this writing, Italy has leapt to the second-highest number of COVID-19 cases by country in the last couple weeks, and their Loom usage has quadrupled in that time.

To us, these recent trends make it obvious that we must take action and take action now. It also makes evident how, should we change nothing about our existing pricing model, we stand to profit from the rise of a global pandemic. This is obviously and unequivocally wrong.

What we're changing today to help

We all need to be proactive during this challenging time, and especially help individuals and teams who may be working (or teaching and learning) remotely for the first time.

Other organizations are jumping in to ease the pain of this transition from co-located workplaces and classrooms to remote settings. GSuite announced free Enterprise features until July 1, 2020. Microsoft Teams announced six-month-long free trials. As a video messaging platform for the workplace (and classroom), we hope Loom can make a difference on this front as well.
Through July 1, 2020, Loom will:

Remove the recording limit on our free plan - what was 25 is now unlimited

Cut the price of Loom Pro in half - what was $10/month is now $5/month

Extend all trials of Loom Pro from 14 to 30 days

We're committed to providing ongoing support, and to continuing to assess these changes as the situation evolves.

Also, Loom Pro is now free for education
If you're a teacher or a student at a K-12 school, university, or educational institution using Loom for classroom work, you can use Loom for free, forever If you're an eligible teacher or student already using Loom and we haven't contacted you, here's what you need to do. .
We want to be clear that these changes are not a marketing play. We are trying to do what we believe is right. Inaction was not an option.

Making a dent

Many people around the world do not have the luxury of taking time off work without it severely altering their financial wellbeing. Taking weeks or months out of school will have a huge impact on students' education for years to come.

Our hope is that by stepping up, we're making a dent in the global impact this pandemic is causing, not just by making our product more accessible, but by helping set the kind of example we hope more businesses will follow.

Please reach out if we can be of any help, and take care of each other.

As CEO & Co-Founder, Joe leads Loom in its mission to empower everyone at work to communicate effectively, wherever they are.

We asked teacher blogger Adam Hill, whose school has been closed due to the coronavirus, to explain what the current situation is like at his international school in Hong Kong and how he uses Edpuzzle to connect with his students via remote learning. If you're in a similar situation, you'll love his advice!
Until April 20th, 2020 (at the earliest), schools remain closed in Hong Kong, China and other parts of Asia as governments take precautions to limit the outbreak of COVID-19 (better known as the coronavirus).

We haven't been to school since the Chinese New Year holiday started on January 22nd. We were expected to return to work on February 5th, but the closures were confirmed and extensions continue to be regularly announced. Since February 5th, we've been working hard to continually support our students and offer remote learning engagements that continue to challenge and engage.

Flipped Learning vs. Remote Learning

I hesitate to call it flipped learning because, despite common misconceptions, flipped learning is not about homework, videos or other online tasks. Rather, it is about using those activities to best utilize the critical face-to-face time that we have with students in the classroom.

Flipped learning recognizes the importance of classroom time and, most importantly, time that students have with a supportive, encouraging teacher. In a flipped learning model, input is offered before the lesson so that the limited classroom time can be fully leveraged for creativity, critical thinking, application and other tasks that require higher level thinking and teacher support.

During this period of school closures, we do not have the luxury of classroom time. We must do our best to offer high quality learning experiences remotely. Nevertheless, the practices that are discussed here certainly apply to flipped learning as well.

Remote Learning at Victoria Shanghai Academy

Remote learning looks slightly different in every school, and so it should. What works for us won't necessarily work in all contexts. Nevertheless, I will share our approach in the primary section of Victoria Shanghai Academy, Hong Kong.

The class teachers have been sharing home learning grids daily with learning engagements that are designed to keep the curriculum moving forward. To avoid putting pressure on the parents, we design activities that can be completed as independently as possible. As class teachers, we are online and available throughout the school day to offer support, encouragement and feedback.

We also offer two time slots every day for group video calls using Zoom. We use these to answer questions, clarify our expectations and generally just check in with the children. The Zoom calls have been very well received.

Specialist teachers (art, music, drama, etc.) used to post their lessons separately on whichever day they would normally see the class. However, feedback from parents suggested that the workload from class teachers was a little too much, and that the students were struggling to make time for the specialist activities. This was also a shame for the specialist teachers because they were working equally hard but getting significantly fewer responses.

To address both issues, we've allocated one day per week for specialist learning. On this day (different for each grade), the students get a specialist grid only, without additional work from the class teachers. This also allows the class teachers to take a breather! Again, this was well received by all.

It's been important to seek feedback, gather different perspectives and tweak our practices, but we now feel that we've found a routine that works.

Using Edpuzzle to Enhance Remote Learning

The silver lining of this challenging situation is that all teachers have adopted technology, and therefore, it has been a period of significant upskilling for many.

Edpuzzle has been a core application in my technology toolbelt for many years and I'm thrilled to see more educators discovering it. Especially with the generous upgrade that Edpuzzle is offering to affected schools, many teachers are enjoying it for the first time.

When schools finally reopen, technology tools like Edpuzzle can continue to be utilized to facilitate learning. It is clear that educators who are making the best of a bad situation are embracing this fantastic opportunity to learn, grow and upskill.

We have had a lot of important discussions and even debates about what best practice looks like with regard to remote learning. I would like to highlight a few of these key principles, ones that Edpuzzle strongly support. These also apply to flipped learning and other learning models that utilise technology.
- Students Respond Best to Their Own Teachers
There are many existing educational videos that are fantastic, but students respond best to their own teachers.

With Edpuzzle, we can utilize the existing content without reinventing the wheel and, importantly, personalize it for our own students. Audio notes allow teachers to pause the video at multiple points to add their own verbal comments. Even better, with the voiceover tool, we can use the existing visuals while offering our own explanations.

This has been particularly useful for our Chinese teachers who can explain the content in their usual language of instruction. As it states on the Edpuzzle site, voiceover allows you to "explain a concept the way you would in class - in your own style or maybe in another language".
- Students Should Actively Engage
With online content, it is easy to passively consume. But we need to maintain students' attention, encourage them to think about the content and offer opportunities for them to respond.

Using Edpuzzle, we can promote active learning by adding questions, notes and comments to videos. We can insert these at various points throughout and prompt responses from students before the video can continue. Especially if students need to answer questions about the content, they will need to listen actively.
- Feedback and Support Are Essential
Feedback plays a critical role during this time, as it always does, but not just to support learning. It also shows that we are present, available and active. Even when the students are learning remotely, we are always available to help. As always, feedback is most effective when it is timely.

In fact, supporting students while they work is most powerful, and still possible remotely using online tools such as Google apps. I want to focus my time and attention on in-depth feedback that nudges students forward. I'd rather not spend my time on "tick and flick" marking.

With tools like Edpuzzle, I don't have to. Teachers can simply pre-select the correct answers and the marking will be done automatically. This is good news for students because they get instant feedback. By automating the marking in this way, it allows me more time to offer in-depth feedback and support.

I can find the assessment data in Edpuzzle's instrumental Gradebook, along with progress bars for each student. With these features, I can easily identify which students had difficulties with specific sections of the assignments. I can then interject with support when necessary.

During this period of remote learning, we have utilized a range of technology tools. However, there are a few core tools that we depend on more than most. These have been invaluable across the school, with a range of different ages and by teachers with varying levels of confidence when using technology. One of these, undoubtedly, has been Edpuzzle. I look forward to more educators unlocking its potential and utilizing it long after schools reopen.

A number of schools around the world have temporarily closed because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and will need to rely on remote technology to continue learning.

Luckily, there are lots of edtech tools out there to help with that, and with Book Creator online you can bring creativity to your homes (not just your classrooms!).

So, we're supporting you in numerous ways.

Firstly, we'd like to offer everyone the ability to collaborate together on books in real-time. This is a premium feature that is usually only available with a paid subscription, but we're offering 90 days free use of this tool, to help keep students and teachers connected.
Note: the 90 day collaboration trial offer ended on 18th August 2021, and is now back to the original 14 day trial.
Free collaboration upgrade

To claim your free collaboration upgrade, you'll need to:

1. Sign into your Book Creator account. If you don't have an account yet, create one and we'll give you 1 library and 40 books for free.

2. Start your collaboration trial on your account - you'll automatically get 90 days free.

How Book Creator can help with remote learning

NEW: We now have a dedicated Remote Learning hub.

See bookcreator.com./remote-learning

Read this Guidance for home learning - how teachers can help parents to get their children signed into Book Creator at home.
Read the guidance
Daily webinars - join Jon Smith for daily webinars on using Book Creator for home learning, and simple getting started with Book Creator sessions. These are informal - drop in and ask Jon anything.

Use the calendar below to find a time that suits you. Make sure to register using the link for each event.

If you're unable to make any of the dates above, you can view a recording of the Home Learning with Book Creator webinar from 26th March.

Book Creator can be used in any subject, with any grade level. So you should focus on assignments that allow the student to get creative and demonstrate their understanding. This could literally be anything you've been working on in class!

If you're looking for a range of lesson ideas - start with our Resources hub:

You may also want to look at example books that other students have made:

Focus on taking current projects that students have been working on and getting them to create a book - a digital version of what they may have done in an exercise book had they been in school! This could be a journal, a report, a story retell, poetry - you name it. Have students write but also record their voice, add video and images to their books and be as creative as possible.

Work collaboratively

Take advantage of your free real-time collaboration upgrade by setting tasks that involve students working on the same book at the same time. This could be a class book that you've been working on already, or if you're looking for ideas, why not compose a daily journal so students can keep tabs on what everyone else has been doing each day? Or you could take part in the latest #TWIMA ( The World is My Audience) project with Jon Smith. The current project is 'Traditions', and details can be found in this Google Doc.

Keep good communication

Student books will appear directly on your bookshelf, so there's no need for students to go through a complicated turn-in procedure. (Tip: you can decide whether or not students can see each other's books).

Communicate with your students by recording audio hotspots with feedback on their work to correct and guide them.

Boost motivation by sharing work

As kids work on their books from the comfort of their home, help them feel even more motivated and engaged by sharing their books beyond your library. You can publish individual books (or even a whole library) online with ease - showcase great work on your class blog or school website, on social media and beyond. Students will be even more engaged if they know the books they are creating will be seen by a wide audience. Everyone loves to be a published author!

Of course! This is not a requirement and you can sign up with any other email address.
5. How long is the trial?
Our free trials are typically granted for 4 weeks.

However, we have already decided to extend the Extended Free Access until the end of July for every school that is still in need.
6. Can we extend the trial if necessary?
The trial is already extended. 🙂 Please find more information here.

The extended trial, however, is only possible because we're backed by thousands of schools that trust in us by using a paid offering. Every paid subscription allows us to offer 5 more teachers free extended access so they can keep teaching remotely, too.

At the end of your trial, we'll give you some choices, and if you still aren't ready to subscribe, don't worry. As long as we are able to keep supporting teachers, we will.
