Extended school absence during K-12 education can have a negative impact on both the educational and social development of a child. Mobile Remote Presence (MRP) can help enable continued access to K-12 education for children with health challenges. However, most MRP platforms are targeted towards adult users in domains such as the workplace. The importance of social interaction and engagement in K-12 education creates a unique set of needs and challenges for an MRP platform. In this work, we discuss the benefits of MRP usage for K-12 education, ongoing challenges for MRP across domains, and the requirements of an MRP platform for the classroom.
