Students collaborating remotely at different times?

Hi! I'm ICT coordinator in my school and we're rolling out Minecraft Education.

Is there no way for a world to be available to students to work on without the teacher hosting it? Looked into it online and it looks like there's not but that seems like a huge oversight to me?

We have classes working remotely and students can't be online at the same time so some children are being totally left out unless teachers host the world again in the evenings. They can build in their own world but can't take part in any of the collaborative projects. 

 

If anyone has any solution for this I'd really appreciate it as we're only getting started and teachers are already pushing back due to this issue.

  I'm also looking for a solution to that problem. I tried hosting at school and playing from home and the opposite, hosting from home and playing from school, everyt thing is blocked by the firewalls that are kind of super strcit for obvious reasons. Would have virtual machines for hosting like it was tried last summer a possibility that will come back?

  That isn't possible unless they allow server hosting.
