Gen Z, the generation born between 1996 and 2010, represents the cohort studying in middle schools, high schools, and universities right now. This is a generation that grew up with internet access, and a good number of them don\u2019t know a world without smartphones. As such, they have certain expectations of the remote learning process.<\/span><\/p>\n

These expectations will shape the top remote learning trends for Gen Z in 2021. Read on to learn what schools and universities should be doing to keep Gen Z engaged and satisfied with remote learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding Gen Z<\/b><\/h3>\n

The Pew Research Center<\/span><\/a> defines Gen Z as people born between 1996 and 2010. They are more racially and ethnically diverse than any other generation. In addition, Gen Z is one of the most well-educated generations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Researchers at the Pew Center note that members of Gen Z are somewhat similar to Millennials in their attitudes on social and political matters. Here\u2019s the difference, though: Gen Zers are \u201cdigital natives\u201d\u2014they grew up with the Internet, and many of them grew up with smartphones. Younger members of Gen Z are on their smartphones frequently and expect that they\u2019ll be able to connect to the internet everywhere they go.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nRemote learning has become a mainstay in the higher education field. Here’s what you need to know<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Trend 1: Remote learning experiences with a human touch<\/b><\/h3>\n

Gen Zers have grown up with technology that allows them to\u00a0<\/span>personalize their experiences<\/span><\/a>, such as Netflix. They don\u2019t want to be thought of as just another number when they enter a virtual classroom. How does that impact remote learning at higher education institutions?<\/span><\/p>\n

The right remote learning platform enables instructors to <\/span>connect with students through chat, telephone, and email<\/span><\/a>. Even if they\u2019re not on campus, they can still connect one-on-one for a personalized education experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend 2: Students want their learning to be meaningful<\/b><\/h3>\n

Students in Gen Z\u00a0<\/span>want what they learn to matter<\/span><\/a> to them. Material should be relevant and accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Educators can address this desire by making the most of their virtual learning platforms. Market-leading virtual learning platforms integrate with learning management systems such as <\/span>Canvas, Blackboard, D2L, or Moodle<\/span><\/a>. That integration allows instructors to post supplementary materials including podcasts, videos, and articles, so students can immerse themselves deeper in what they\u2019re learning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend 3: Students want easy, accessible remote learning<\/b><\/h3>\n

In an August 2020 survey,\u00a0<\/span>11% of Gen Z students<\/span><\/a> didn\u2019t feel confident about their access to reliable internet and technology. While many Gen Z students have access to computers and an internet connection so they can learn synchronously, not all of them do. Technology that enables asynchronous learning, so students don\u2019t have to attend class live and can access materials at other times, will become more popular in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"RingCentral<\/p>\n

This is another situation in which the right virtual learning platform is crucial. The right virtual learning platform allows instructors to teach live and record themselves. After the class, they can upload the recording to a learning management system, so students can watch the recording whenever they have an internet connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, it should be easy to access the remote learning platform. One of the benefits of\u00a0<\/span>RingCentral\u2019s remote learning platform<\/span><\/a> is that it offers one-click video and audio from any browser or the RingCentral app.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend 4: Increase students\u2019 digital literacy<\/b><\/h3>\n

Just because Gen Z grew up with smartphones in their hands doesn\u2019t mean they are digitally literate. The 2018 International Computer and Information Literacy study showed that only<\/span> 2% of Gen Z students<\/span><\/a> surveyed were at the highest level of computer and information literacy (meaning that they can work independently with technology to gather and manage information with precision and good judgment).<\/span><\/p>\n

Students might be entering a virtual classroom with no sense of what a reliable source of information is, let alone what security measures they need to take to keep themselves safe during remote learning. That\u2019s why it\u2019s critical to use a remote learning platform with the highest levels of security built in. Instructors and students have peace of mind that confidential information is protected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend 5: Remote learning as a supplement and replacement for in-person learning<\/b><\/h3>\n

Remote learning has been slowly gaining prominence over the past decade. More colleges and universities have offered online courses as well as entire online degree programs. However, it wasn\u2019t until a\u00a0<\/span>global health crisis in 2020<\/span><\/a> that most students had to learn remotely.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recovery has been somewhat slow, and going into 2021, there\u2019s a high chance that many students at higher education institutions will be learning remotely for at least the next year.\u00a0 As such, universities and colleges can\u2019t afford to neglect Gen Z students. They have to invest the time, effort, and resources into making the remote learning experience as positive as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Again, the right remote learning platform creates an engaging experience for Gen Z students. Instructors can teach live, share their screen, and encourage student participation through live chat. In addition, students can connect with their instructors after class through chat, video conference<\/a>, or phone calls. They can feel that they\u2019re getting the full higher education experience wherever they are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend 6: More transparent communication<\/b><\/h3>\n

Gen Z students are accustomed to having multiple communication channels available to them at all times. They expect that people in their lives will share information with them, and that communication will be transparent. Going forward, Gen Z\u2019ers will demand more frequent and higher quality communication from their instructors and their colleges and universities.<\/span><\/p>\n

A remote learning platform with team messaging, file sharing, unlimited conference calls, as well as video conferencing, chats, and phone calls makes it easy for instructors and administrators to share vital information with students and their families. These capabilities satisfy Gen Z students\u2019 desire for clear communication and information, and meet families\u2019 needs to understand remote learning plans.<\/span><\/p>\n

RingCentral\u2019s remote learning platform offers Gen Z students an excellent experience<\/b><\/h2>\n
