Explanation:
The COVID-19 has resulted in schools shut all across the world. Globally, over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom.
As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms.
Research suggests that online learning has been shown to increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the changes coronavirus have caused might be here to stay.
While countries are at different points in their COVID-19 infection rates, worldwide there are currently more than 1.2 billion children in 186 countries affected by school closures due to the pandemic. In Denmark, children up to the age of 11 are returning to nurseries and schools after initially closing on 12 March, but in South Korea students are responding to roll calls from their teachers online.
With this sudden shift away from the classroom in many parts of the globe, some are wondering whether the adoption of online learning will continue to persist post-pandemic, and how such a shift would impact the worldwide education market.
The students have been suddenly been exposed to online teaching and learning due to the pandemic. Each child is unique and they learn differently at their own pace; some are visual learners, some learn effectively through listening and following, some through experiments and so on.
It is said that ‘Every dark cloud has a silver lining’, which in this scenario can be attributed to the online teaching platforms which have come to our rescue. The situation threatened to spiral out of control as the ‘lockdown’ was extended repeatedly, and one was inevitably looking at a lost year for the innumerable pupils worldwide. There are various advanced mediums of instructions available on these learning platforms which allow the teachers and pupils to share notes, play instructional videos say on conducting experiments, or how the earthquake occurs or about a virtual tour of the holy Vatican City and so on and so forth. These also allow the teacher to test the pupils effectively. The success of these teaching platforms is beyond praise as one may never have gauged the extent to which it can be used in a very systematic, streamlined manner which eases the process of learning for every child in the comfort of their homes.
