    Principal focus of the project: 

    The study focussed on the impact of remote learning, in terms of the challenges, support, engagement and efficacy of digital pedagogical practices. 

    What is this about and what were the main findings: 

    Focus group and online surveys were conducted with 8 Pre-Entry ESOL teachers, 1 manager/teacher, 53 pre-Entry ESOL students and 2 Ed- tech leaders at Derby College. The findings suggested that disadvantaged pre-Entry students were less likely to fully engage in remote learning for several reasons, including digital poverty, home learning environments not being conducive to study, and reduced skills in independent learning due to language barriers.
