Hi buddy
Explanation:
MOOCs -- massively open online courses of the sort that can simultaneously enroll thousands, even tens of thousands, of learners simultaneously -- have been a hot topic of discussion for a few years now in both the worlds of education and 'international development' (and, for what it's worth, the subject of numerous related posts here on the World Bank's EduTech blog). Recent news that edX, one of the prominent MOOC platforms, is to start offering courses aimed at high school studentssuggests that the potential usefulness and impact of things like MOOCs may soon extend beyond the realm of higher education, out of which MOOCs originally emerged and where most related activity has occurred to date.
There is much (potentially) to be excited about here. Few would argue against having greater access to more learning opportunities, especially when those opportunities are offered for 'free', where there is latent unmet demand, and where the opportunities themselves are well constructed and offer real value for learners. As with MOOCs at the level of higher education, however, we perhaps shouldn't be too surprised if these new opportunities at the high school level are first seized upon *not* by some of the groups with the greatest learning needs -- for example, students in overcrowded, poorly resourced secondary schools in developing countries, or even students who would like a secondary education, but for a variety of reasons aren't able to receive one -- but rather by those best placed to take advantage of them. This has been largely been the case for initial adopters of MOOCs. (One of the first studies of this aspect of the 'MOOC Phenomenon', which looked at MOOCs from the University of Pennsylvania, found that students tended to be "young, well educated, and employed, with a majority from developed countries.")

Know all the updates from around the world about how people are celebrating Yoga Day
Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that originated in India and is helping people lead a healthier lifestyle.
The day is marked to raise awareness of the many benefits of Yoga. Indian Yoga which is practiced in its various forms is slowly garnering popularity across the globe. Scientific research has proven that Yoga can help reduce stress levels, increase awareness, build immunity, and strong physical and mental health along with helping regularize the systems of the body overall.
Amid the adverse times of the pandemic, this year the International Day of Yoga is putting its focus on well-being beyond the immediate impact on physical health. International Yoga Day 2021, which will be observed on Monday next week, carries the theme 'Yoga for well-being', at a time when society is still recovering from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 crisis has had a vastly negative impact on people ranging from physical, mental, psychological, emotional, societal, and not to forget the financial aspect of it. The pandemic has left many with mental health issues, loneliness, constant fear, psychological suffering, depression, and anxiety.
Yoga can come to the help of people dealing with such a crisis, the United Nations explained on its website since the message of the practice is to promote both physical and mental health.
The United Nations has been offering Yoga to its personnel as a means to deal with physical and mental health crises during the COVID-19 pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) has also recommended Yoga as means to improve health. Its various benefits include increased flexibility, fitness, mindfulness, and relaxation.
