Continuity of Learning
The Continuity of Learning plan has been developed to assist students with their learning whilst they are unable to access face-to-face learning. As required the College will ensure that our teaching and learning continues in Face-to-Face, Hybrid or Remotely in accordance with the required COVID protocols.
Our main platforms for Hybrid and Remote Learning are:
SEQTA: Use SEQTA to find instructions and content for each lesson.
Microsoft Teams: Every student is part of a class Team. Teams are used for video lessons and a communication tool to the teacher and classmates.
Other Technologies: Additional technologies approved by CBC are used by teachers. They can include Canva, Kahoot, Forms, Mathletics, Maths Space, Lexia, Reading Plus, Education Perfect, OneNote and other Office 365 products
