Remote Learning
Last Updated: Feb 22, 2023

What is Remote Learning?

Remote learning, also sometimes known as distance learning, is different from virtual learning. While virtual learning is academic instruction and education that takes place solely online as an option for long-distance students or those taking classes around full-time jobs, remote learning is instruction provided to students from a distance based on a need. For example, Grand Valley typically offers over 40 online and hybrid degree, badge, and certificate programs. During the Winter 2020 semester, however, the need arose for remote learning due to COVID-19. All courses—whether online, hybrid, in-person, studio or labs—went fully online, and students received instruction from their professors at a distance. 

How does this affect me?

Having your in-person class moved completely online can be stressful and reveal a lot of unknowns in how your class may function. Don’t panic! GVSU has compiled a list of resources for students and faculty alike in their transition from in-person courses to remote learning.
