In addition to online classes, provide a kit to support remote learning through hand-on, physical tasks. This idea is easier for some areas of study than others, but can be essential. For example to become an electrician, a student should have experience with actual, physical wires. Potential for "smart" kits which can detect accuracy to provide immediate feedback for students or send information to their professor or peers. If remote students are in the same area, meeting up for coffee or classes should be identified by the class and encouraged.
All Hands-On Deck
Provide remote students with physical "play" kits to support online learning in addition to meet up groups when possible.

Who is your idea designed for and how does it reimagine higher education to support the needs of tomorrow?
Designed for students who for one reason or another, cannot attend physical classes. Online learning is very prevalent today, but lacks all of the benefits of classroom learning.This idea emerged from:
- A student brainstorm
- An individual
