Distance Learning Platforms Comparison Chart
Teachers can leverage these platforms to engage with students and help students make their thinking and learning visible, whether they are
learning in person, at home, or in a hybrid of the two. This chart outlines key features, communication capabilities, and instructional
considerations for each platform. When engaging with the chart, it will be helpful to consider the intended outcomes of the lessons, the
activities students will be asked to engage in, and the primary purpose of the interactions. Two or more of these platforms can likely be
integrated to meet various needs in the learning environment. When identifying a platform, it is important to first consider the usability of
each platform for your priority groups of students.
