HyperDocs is an interactive program (Google Doc or Presentation, Drawing, etc.) that follows the typical teaching pedagogy but is all online in one place!
Students’ ability to complete the activities at their own pace makes it easy to adjust to different learning speeds. The level of rigor is also easily adjusted since you can assign different students to different activities. Some HyperDocs even require students to turn and talk with each other, so there is still a communication aspect.
Websites like HyperDocs offer lessons for all grade levels and content areas. You can even choose the language, which makes it a great resource for ELL students.

This HyperDoc also requires students to have partner discussions, which is excellent because it preserves the social aspect but still uses technology.
These HyperDocs are great for outside and in the classroom! When students are at home, they can get the extra practice they may need to master the curriculum- this is the beauty of student-centered learning.
I also think it’d be a good resource for students in countries without a strong education system, enabling them to get the quality education they deserve.
