Our remote online teacher provides 1:1 core subject teaching to students who, for a variety of reasons, are currently unable to access their usual in-school lessons. Some children/young people will be awaiting transfer to a specialist placement or require short term online lessons due to medical needs. For others, online teaching contributes to a short term wider package of support to enable the student to return to their school. The remote teacher works alongside school based staff to ensure the student receives relevant and current curriculum content.
AV1 is a telepresence robot that ensures that no student misses a class, break time or conversation with friends. It is more than just remote learning; it is the next best thing to being there in person. From home, hospital or another room at school, the student participates in class through the AV1 app. The AV1 robot has a camera, microphone and speaker. It sits on the student’s desk, and through an app they can see, hear and speak through it.
