This report (160 page PDF) takes its inspiration from an interplanetary probe launched in 2006 called New Horizons that relied on a gravity assist from Jupiter in order to reach its destination, the planet Pluto. In the same way, the Covid epidemic has propelled the education sector much more quickly toward its own brighter future. This report outlines what it calls "the six components of successful digital teaching and learning" and offers a plan to complete the journey (though honestly, they should count down through the six steps). The short video on the web page gives you a good overview of the six steps (but again, play the steps backwards and they make more sense) but the full report provides the best reward for time spent.
