The British Council has been working on remote teaching and online learning for a number of years. This has allowed us to help teachers all around the world to build the same expertise and face the challenge of remote teaching in pandemic times. This online event revisits these new ways of teaching and learning on the back of our new Remote Teaching MOOC (Massive Online Open Course) which will be launched soon.
