Remote work is full of perks such as flexible hours, working in pajamas, and saving commute time. However, it is not always easy to stay focused, motivated, and productive when working from home. As a result, we developed a 1-week Remote University (RemoteU) program that equips students with the skills needed to build a successful career as a remote worker.

In this assignment, we assess your ability to create curriculum outlines, design real-world assignments that teach particular skills, and develop an objective quality bar to measure success.

Part I - Writing an outline

  • Write a 300-word outline that summarizes the key points in the articles. Please build this outline as if it were to serve as the basis for a chapter in your remote worker curriculum. You want to distill the insights from these articles and teach new remote workers how to be successful as a remote worker.

Evaluation Criteria

  • All the important takeaways are captured.
  • The writing is clear and concise but includes enough details so a non-domain expert writer could expand the outline into a 1,500-word article.

Part II - Creating a real-world assignment

  • Imagine you have 5 days to teach students the skill(s) described in the articles, what would you ask them to do to ensure that they have acquired the skill(s) given the following constraints:
    • The quality of the work units produced and the productivity of workers is our top priority.
    • We value and encourage offline communication as people work on different timezones and we believe video and IM chats hinder productivity.
    • We are a 100% remote team and in-office meetings are not possible.
  • You are expected to produce a 5-day plan that includes
    • Clear instructions for students to follow
    • A data structure that students need to fill out to complete the exercise

Evaluation Criteria

  • The assignment provides clear instructions and gives students a template to fill out based on their real-world application of the topic

Part III - Building an objective quality bar

  • For the real-world assignment that you created above, come up with an objective quality bar that would be used to evaluate students’ work (max 5 rules). A person passing your quality bar means that they have acquired that skill.

Evaluation Criteria

  • Has no more than 5 rules
  • Each rule is clearly defined and can be evaluated objectively as a Pass/Fail

Why it’s important to talk about remote work loneliness and burnout
Loneliness is not only a common challenge to people working remotely, but it often has negative
effects on productivity, overall wellbeing, and connection with colleagues. Statistics indicate that
about 20% of all workers experience loneliness. As more young people continually embrace
remote jobs, loneliness is set to become even a bigger problem. Burnout, on the other hand, may
cause feeling of excessively indebted and lead to overworking. This may in turn, reduce
productivity. Thus, it is important to find ways to overcome loneliness and burnout. This
