Makematic have developed an online professional development course, TOM, and an accompanying Whitepaper to support educators worldwide with the challenges of online teaching. The project aimed to support the millions of educators worldwide that have had to make the leap to online teaching overnight - and the edtech industry supporting them - through a well-researched set of best practices for online teaching and the development of associated products and content. For the R&D project, Makematic researched and produced a Whitepaper and accompanying explainer animations.
