As usual, distance learning in the Municipality of Kujalleq has gotten off to a good start and is proceeding smoothly in the new school year.
In the municipality of Kujalleq, children living in villages without trained teachers receive distance learning in Greenlandic, Danish, English, and mathematics via iPad.
“Students from different villages participate in classes at the same time. Even though they don’t live in the same village, they are thus in the same class through distance learning. Classes are conducted via Teams in close collaboration with the subject teachers in the villages,” explains Lillian Møller, who teaches students remotely in the Municipality of Kujalleq.
Two years ago, distance educators in the Municipality of Kujalleq were filmed while Kivitsisa Academy was producing instructional materials for current and future distance educators in Greenland. Distance education works well in the Municipality of Kujalleq.
“The students I teach remotely are very skilled at using their iPads. They receive their homework through an app, and they keep up well. This morning, for example, I could see that 22 students had turned in their homework,” says Lillian Møller.
A total of 27 students in Aappilattoq, Narsarmijit, Tasiusaq, Ammassivik, Eqalugaarsuit, and Igaliku are receiving distance learning.
iPads for the students who will begin remote learning at some of the sheep-farming locations are currently being prepared. Once they are ready in September, the number of students will increase to 32.
