School in the pandemic....

Governments' responses to the spreading Covid-19 pandemic have thrown the entire society into crisis. For the large group of students in elementary and secondary schools, this means cancelled classes for a long time, or at least irregular classes.

Remote teaching via the Internet offers a way out, but it cannot replace face-to-face contact and group dynamics among students. This concerns both the contact of the students in the classroom and the development and maintenance of social contacts and social behavior outside the classroom.

An alternative to distance learning is alternate teaching. Here, the classes are taught in half the class size at the school, while the other half of the students are taught remotely at home. The groups change every week. Alternating instruction is more appropriate for fostering the social development of the students, but is particularly challenging and time-consuming for the teachers, since both parts of the class must be approached in completely different ways in order to teach the subject matter equally.

The Lehromat 1000 is a device to support the teacher in alternate teaching. With its help, the non-present students are fully involved in what is happening in the classroom.

...and beyond

Even outside the pandemic, situations can be imagined where mixed classes - parts of the class via Internet at home - would be helpful, for example, in case of illness. The affected students would then have the opportunity to follow the lessons at least partially, even if they could not attend school.
