E-Learning bracing the transformation

G
lobally, several organizations are offering E-learning solutions to various customers. E-
learning provides more comprehensive learning as compared to traditional learning. With
the rapid transformation of technology in several industries, the importance of E-learning
is also rising to aid with the latest technological changes. Alongside, it offers several benefits such
as less cost, time reduction, flexibility, etc. which makes it even more favorable in the coming
years. With the outbreak of COVID 19, there is an evident growth in E-learning providers and
consumers. Among, there are few companies such as Knowzies, uQualio, Automated Learning
Corporation, Mysterymonks Entertainment, Liqvid Elearning who had the vision to establish
itself as proficient E-learning providers. This visionary approach has helped these to outperform the
new and some well-established companies with its unique E-learning solutions.

Our latest magazine issue, “Business APAC Proficient E-Learning Solution Providers of 2020”
focuses on two vital themes—how learning has grown over the years and how it is currently
battling with the COVID-19 crisis. To find out the right answers, our team of Business APAC has
worked diligently to feature companies who have worked significantly towards providing E-
learning solution.

On the cover of the magazine, we have featured eWyse eLearning Agency. Established in 2016, it
specializes in creating custom e-learning content for its clients. The company strives to utilize the
latest technology in the areas of communication, collaboration, graphic design, motion graphics,
multimedia, and IT development for better customer experience. In 2020, eWyse has been voted as
one of the best E-learning agencies in the world specifically for its Rapid Learning and Blended
Learning Solutions.

Elsewhere in the magazine, you will be able to read two interesting articles featured in the sections
Emergering Opportunities and NextGen Education respectively. These articles will help you to get
the gist of learning in coming years. I hope you find these articles interesting!

O
ver the last decade, e-learning
has emerged as a revolution
in the educational industry.
With increased proliferance of internet-
based technologies, it has become
almost impossible to learn anything
without using some form of digital
technology. Presently, learning by
default includes some form of digital,
at least digital documents, or online
readings. Thus the general
interpretation of e-learning as
'electronic' learning is insufficient. e- MICRO LEARNING

entertaining, enthusiastic, emotional,
energizing, enjoying, and effective way
of learning.

across various industry sectors around
the globe such as banking and finance,

NGOs. Thus eWyse covers a major
part of the industry with its solutions.

The 3C Approach

The USP of eWyse is its unique

ING approach towards its clients. The
company has developed a unique
industry-leading approach to e-learning
solution development, called 3C. It
stands for Process Control, Creative
Control, and Financial/Investment
Control.

Ÿ Creative Control: Having control

14
There are several advantages of
process control such as optimized
budget, internal control, alignment
with the L&D process, etc.
financial control allows a company
to maintain full supervision of its
budget and keep in line with its
fiscal objectives. Especially, the
L&D projects are extremely
difficult to budget. Companies often
experience a frequent feeling of
exasperation when the project guide
price doesn't meet with vague,
ballpark figures. Previously, these
numbers were rarely accompanied
with any level of detail, there was
no breakdown of what was included
and no way companies could
understand the costs if their
requirements were to change.
Financial control has overcome
these issues up to a considerable
extent. Numerous advantages of
financial control include no wasted
time, boost in trust between the
company and its partners,
maintenance of internal credibility,
etc.
The 3C approach is a thoroughly
client-centric approach. Each part of
this approach has been tried and tested
to give the best possible experiences to
the clients and is indeed turning out to
be effective for them.
A Result-Driven and Enthusiastic
Leader
Mario Buljan, the Founder and CEO
of eWyse, is contributing to the
company's prowess since its inception.
Mario is certified in delivering several
trainings in sales, leadership skills,
creativity, and innovation as well as
many other personal development
skills. Moreover, he excels in

and successfully aids HR managers in
mastering the measurement of success
of the education on the organizations.
At the start of his career, he worked for
15 years on a wide range of jobs and
projects through various industries and
fields. His career in education started in
2009 when he started working as a
business trainer. He successfully
worked for seven years as a corporate
trainer and while working there, he
realized the advantages of modern
technology. He noticed that the whole
education world was turning to the
utilization of digital technologies to
increase efficiency in the knowledge
transfer and this was his inspiration
behind founding eWyse. He also
idolizes maestros like Sir Richard
Branson, Henry Ford, Nikola Tesla,
and Ayrton Senna and calls them the
inspiration behind his and company's
success.
A PIECE OF ADVICE
Outplaying the Challenges
The challenges faced by eWyse are
both internal and external. The internal
challenges include matching with the
changing industry trends, serving with
the same high level of quality, and
planning the growth of the company
strategically and tactically. Moreover,
there are some external challenges too.
For example, educating the market
about new technologies, trends, and
potential solutions has become
essential now as organizations know
that they need to embrace new trends
in e-learning, but sometimes they lack
the knowledge and the latest
information.
As a solution provider, eWyse has
started the development of a series of
e-learning courses. The company
teaches its clients all they need to know
when e-learning development comes
into place.
Seamlessly Integrating with Every
Client
Demand for digital solutions in
educational systems is increasing
significantly and it includes all the
areas from the corporate sector over
formal and informal school education
systems to non-profit organizations.
Till the inception of e-learning,
education was considered as a privilege
for wealthier societies in economically
more developed countries. However, e-
learning solutions have enabled
education to reach almost anyone
anywhere and are making a significant
impact on the global society.
Thus in the near future, the solution
providers are expected to face
challenges like rapid delivery response
and fast turnaround with high delivery
quality. eWyse has put a lot of effort in
this area. The company has developed
a detailed development process that
enables it to seamlessly integrate with
every client. The company often says,
“We are your remote e-learning
development department,” and this is
the reason why it is regarded as one of
the best rapid e-learning providers.
Effect of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The disastrous outbreak of the COVID-
19 pandemic has changed the global
market scenario altogether. Many
things are getting done by working
remotely and education is also not an
exception. With many advantages like
reduction in travelling time, cost
reduction, and easy process, the
obvious growth of the e-learning
industry is expected to speed up. This
has opened up several opportunities for
various solution providers and eWyse
is ready to provide its market-leading
solutions to its customers.

How PANDEMIC is Affecting
The E-LEARNING PLATFORMS?
T he current pandemic has triggered many changes
in the way that companies do business. The need
for physical distancing, additional safety
procedures, and remote working conditions has challenged
many companies — some to a breaking point.
At a personal level, it has been interesting to see the
divergence in the performance of retail companies. Some
were able to adapt quickly, and adjust to curb-side
customer pickup, reorient staff from shelf-stocking to order
pick, and manage the new process very efficiently. Others
struggled: backlogs increased steeply, and customers —
visibly, vocally, and on social media — expressed
frustration with vendor performance.
One might put it down to differing

sets of problems, but when one

comes down to attitude,
knowledge, and process
management. The impacted
processes both require and include
IMPROVED
training, but they also require an
informed and empowered workforce and management that
is both open to change and also focused on problem-
solving.
Instructor-led training has been one of the areas severally
impacted by Covid-19. For many companies, there has
been a flurry of attempts to catch up on training by the use
of hastily constructed on-line videos, Skype, and Zoom
meetings, and for some — a new interest in migrating to
more sophisticated models of e-learning. What remains to
be determined is if this will lead to a new reality long term. consistency and repeatability in the training process. It
And one wonders if companies that struggled to cope with
process change will recognize that ability to adapt quickly
is a critical survival skill in the new millennium.
18
For Automated Learning Corporation this time has meant
increased interest from companies struggling with these
new models, as well as a marked increase in use by our
regular customers in areas like manufacturing, telecom,
aerospace, healthcare, and government — as they use what
would otherwise be down-time to re-certify employees in
mission-critical areas.
In our early years, our initial focus was on training for
factory floor personnel in electronics industries, but our
solutions quickly found a home in service and repair
companies. Over time, we expanded our initial offerings
in electronics manufacturing to include areas of general
process improvement such as Lean Enterprise, Safety, and
Security.
Our goal has always been
to improve the processes in
client facilities – to make a
lasting impact on both the
quality and the bottom line.
Our specialty has been
“high-design” tutorial style
PERFORMANCE. e-learning – what we
describe as “tutorial
instruction”. The result is criterion-referenced, highly
structured, logically ordered, and very interactive e-
learning courses, employing drawings, animations, still
images, and short video clips to facilitate both the learning
and the transfer of that learning to the employee's
workplace. This approach is useful for a large range of
knowledge and attitude-centered process training. But it is
not a panacea.
What well-structured tutorial e-learning will do is create
helps develop shared attitudes and common vocabulary. It
allows trainees to proceed at their own learning pace. And
it provides a level of training equal to or better than
classroom instruction in about half the time, and often at a
fraction of the cost of instructor-led training. These are not
idle claims but have been well documented consistently
over many years and hundreds of studies.

But most companies and institutions that use such training

effectively also provide “hands-on” training as well, and
after initial training via e-learning often bring in
consultants to take the organization to the next level,
focusing on process improvement and process
documentation. So we work hand in hand with consultants
worldwide who specialize in various topics that are
introduced in our e-learning course.

In North America, we work closely with Dr. Ted

Dangelmayer and Associates, international experts in
electrostatic discharge control and ESD S.2020 auditors,
and with Larry Coté of Lean Advisors. In the Asia Pacific
area, we are partnered with Dr. Senguta and Associates on
the Indian Subcontinent, with Dr. Marcus Koh and his
team at Everfeed Technology Pte in Singapore, and with
Joshua Yoo of Core Insight, Inc. in Seoul, Korea.

The combination of our highly structured e-learning with

the expertise and solutions our partners provide offers a
unique opportunity for our clients worldwide. We have
also worked with our partners and our clients to provide
our ESD courses and Lean courses in other languages,
with specific courses available in Mandarin (Simplified
and Traditional), Spanish, French, and Korean.

Additional language adaptations are in the pipe.

The pressures of dealing with training during the pandemic
will hopefully provide an opportunity for companies to
begin to understand the economics of e-learning, and know
how to sift the really good training from the re-treaded
instructor-led training masquerading as e-learning that is
so common today.

Manufacturing managers faced with quality problems and

middle managers trying to streamline processes reduce
lead times and lower inventory costs have an opportunity
to make this a time of change for the better. For some, it
will be critical to survival. Welcome to the new “normal”.

AUTOMATED LEARNING
CORPORATION
Designed Training, Inspired Learning,
Improved Performance
O
ver the years, e-learning has
come out as a revolutionary
concept in the educational
sector. With many countries opting for
different kinds of e-learning courses
globally, this concept has continuously
been growing since its inception.
Furthermore, in the current scenario of
the COVID-19 pandemic, e-learning
has risen as a force to reckon.
Ultimately, the demand of effective e-
learning solution providers has swiftly
increased. Presently, there are many
institutes and firms providing e-
learning to the students around the
globe. However, the concept of e-
learning in companies is still not taken
as seriously as it should be.
Incorporated in 2000, Automated
Learning Corporation has been
promoting e-learning for the corporate
sector. It prominently provides
corporate learning solutions and e-
learning products that improve
performance in the workplace. ALC
provides comprehensive, high quality,
effective, and easy-to-use learning
solutions that deliver improved
performance and business value.
Versatile Solutions across Several
Industries
ALC provides versatile solutions with
high levels of interactivity, careful
attention to adult learning principles
and skilled use of multimedia. Initially,
22
the company focused on training for
factory personnel in the electronic
industries. However, it soon expanded
its solutions to service and repair
companies. Over the years, in response
to customer demand, the company
added to its initial offerings in ESD
Control, Soldering and Component
Identification—to include the
additional areas of general process
improvement such as Lean Enterprise,
safety, and security.
ALC also broadened its presence in
service industries such as healthcare
and government. Starting primarily
with the telecom sector, the company
has widened its reach to semiconductor
manufacturers, aerospace (including
NASA), military, hospitals and civic
governments. Furthermore, the
company has customized its courses
for individual clients and also
introduced language adaptations in
Chinese, Korean, German, Spanish,
and French for some of its courses.
Educating for Retention and
Continued Effectiveness
Many companies provide these
solutions by using web conferences,
canned webinars, or “talking-head”
videos, while others use the extreme
opposite, opting for performance
support on the job, and man-machine
robotic-task-assists. However, ALC
takes the middle ground and seeks to
educate for retention and continued
effectiveness. The method is tutorial.
The company develops criterion-
referenced instruction, following a
rigorous and systematic model. It
begins by working with subject matter
experts to develop objectives that
accurately describe the specific
knowledge, skills and attitudes that
employees need to complete the tasks.
ALC then develops test questions that
are keyed to each objective to
accurately measure the knowledge gain
against the developed criteria. As a
result, a highly structured, logically
ordered, and highly interactive e-
learning course is formed.
Drawings, animations, still images, and
video clips are employed to facilitate
both the learning and the transfer of
that learning to the employee's
workplace.

A 'Driven' Educator with Avid Experience
Dr. Bob Abell, the President and CEO of ALC is the face behind the
company's success in the field of education. Having worked in
different fields such as design, programming, sales, accounting, and
people management, Bob is using all of his experience to the
company's benefit. Prior to starting his own business in 1981, he
worked in a technical capacity for an online university for 7 years. He
is qualified with a Ph.D. in education and also has a strong interest in
electronics and photography.
For several years, Bob focused on developing technology-based
solutions on a custom basis. However, it became clear that a products
focus—developing essentially generic content of value to a large
number of clients—represented the best opportunity and best value
for user companies. ALC worked with top content experts and shared
a vision, resulting in a suite of enduring products.
Prioritizing Customer Retention and Customer Referrals
Every business confronts numerous challenges. Likewise in e-
learning, many potential customers don't understand the economics
of e-learning. In addition, as e-learning becomes more common,
customers may have trouble filtering good training from the low
quality re-tread of instructor-led training. ALC copes with these
challenges by always focusing on improving the processes in client
facilities. High levels of customer retention and
customer referrals are the factors that measure ALC's
success. There are several companies that have used
ALC's training continuously for over 15 years and
still come back for additional courses and language
adaptations of existing courses.
Coping with the changing Market Scenario
Increasing digitization and globalization has resulted
in new training technologies. Moreover, as per the
changing customer needs and market demand, the
existing technologies are also undergoing drastic
changes. These changes are expected to persist over
the upcoming future. Changes to some technologies
like operating systems, learning management
systems, and authoring tools also pose a problem
and force companies to change their approach. ALC
sees this as an opportunity to manage and upgrade
content and is ready to tackle future challenges.
“Automated learning
developers are experts in
delivering high quality,
interactive, full-media,
self-paced training that
really changes employee
performance.”
COVID-19 to accelerate the e-learning Industry
Though e-learning has been a trend in recent years,
the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to accelerate
its growth significantly. The world is facing travel
restrictions and physical distancing has become
mandatory. So cramming thirty employees with a
projector and an instructor into a room is prohibited
in many places. Thus people who would formerly
see little value in e-learning now have to take the
concept seriously. As the technology keeps evolving
and corporate, engineering, and production
managers around the world understand the
comparative economics and value of e-learning, this
industry will continue to expand in the market.

 FUTURE OF LEARNING

HOW UNIVERSITIES

REMOTE LEARNING
NEXT PHASE OF
TACKLING THE

T he COVID-19 outbreak has significantly

impacted the education sector. Almost all
the education institutes around the world
have been closed for a while now. According to
UNESCO, 60.9% of the total enrolled learners
around the globe have been impacted by the
COVID-19 outbreak as of 26th July. The pandemic
has also enforced country-wide closures of
educational institutions in 107 countries. Along
with the schools, the higher education institutes are
also facing the jolt.

The transition from in-person to remote learning has

already started. However, the process is not yet
complete. Most faculty members have managed to
establish new routines, while some are still working
out how to teach courses designed for a physical
classroom through online platforms.

24

Apart from the faculty members, students
are also adjusting, as they are expected to
learn as much without a ready social
connection and environment of a
residential and in-person learning. Until
the coronavirus outbreak, online learning
comprised a relatively small share of
higher education. Less than one in five
(18 percent) of US tertiary level students
learned online exclusively as of 2018.
However, the pandemic has come as a
blessing in disguise as far as online
learning is concerned. The first phase in a
shift to online learning has passed. Here
are the necessary actions universities could
take in the next few months to improve
student learning, engagement, and
experience while operating remotely.
Focusing on Access and Equity
The transition from on-campus to remote learning raises issues related to
access and equity. There are immediate logistical challenges of
complementing the basic technology needs of students. Universities can
offer stipends for internet access and laptop rentals or purchases. They can
also provide loaned equipment and procured additional laptops and hot-pots
for the under-resourced students. This may get equipment faster and at an
accessible cost. Moreover, hundreds of internet and telephone service
providers have signed contracts such as FCC Keep Americans Connected
Pledge and are providing benefits such as free hot spots with no data caps to
support distance learning. Universities can work with state and local
providers and agencies to advocate for government support.
Additionally, there are several social, emotional, and human needs that need
to be addressed to help students learn. To resolve this, universities can work
to connect the lower-income students to social service organizations. They
can also provide food service and residential support to those in need.
Moreover, mental health services on campuses have been expanding and
their need for students, faculty, and staff could also grow–given the anxiety
and distress caused by COVID-19.
To combat with this, universities are starting outreach, including video
options for mental health professionals, partnerships with tele-health and
tele-counselling providers and access to online mindfulness classes and
applications. Furthermore, students with learning disabilities or accessibility
needs require specific attention. Universities should prioritize to design
specific approaches to suit each need.
Supporting the Faculty
Most teachers around the world are working hard to teach their students.
Institutions can help them in many ways. Many institutions have centers that
offer support to faculty in their teaching, which should be started as much as
possible around the world. They can also use social media and online
forums so that the faculty can share the best practices. Highlighting and
explaining successful remote-teaching ideas during the faculty meetings can
bring a sense of affinity among them, which in turn can cultivate a culture of
sharing and improvement. Thus, institutions that cultivate a culture of
improvement can benefit both their students as well as faculty members.
Furthermore, universities can set up a structure so that faculty can get
regular feedback on their remote teaching. Student surveys can be effective
as they give information on how students are responding and the scope for
improvement. Apart from this, universities can use summer months to train
faculty and refine courses for an online format. They can consider
conducting remote-learning boot camps and hiring more online curriculum
designers. Additionally, they can use the free time during vacations to
explore and test new technologies to meet specialized needs.

way is to ask alumni and community

members to provide remote
mentorship and coaching to support
students with remote learning, virtual
internships, and career discussion.

Investing in Cybersecurity

With the increasing efforts towards

online learning, the cybersecurity
threats are also significantly
increasing. Universities have already
suffered cyberattacks where
unwelcome users have disrupted
classes. They can prevent such
problems by ensuring their
cybersecurity teams are up to the
task, closing the gaps that attackers
can exploit, and making investments

Leveraging Technology to
Provide Personalized Learning
S
ince the last few months, the
world has observed a global
lockdown due to the colossal
impact of COVID-19. Now, in some
parts of the world, the lockdown is
uplifted slowly and steadily considering
the number of positive cases. The
consequence of the pandemic is such
that it has affected various industries all
over the world and the education
industry is one of the prominent ones.
The education industry has drastically
shifted from classroom learning to
online learning. The e-learning industry
has grown massively providing
numerous benefits to both e-learning
providers and learners.
With benefits such as remote learning
and higher retention rate amongst the
students, e-learning is initiating to
become one of the most favorable
learning modes. Today, considering the
new norms of social distancing, e-
learning has created several
opportunities for the upcoming years.
Nonetheless, the practice of e-learning
is not new as many educational
institutions and e-learning providers
have already established themselves in
the industry. Founded in 2002, Liqvid

A Passionate Leader Promoting Education
“I think the eLearning solution providers need to look beyond
traditional approaches and focus more on the learner, not just in

preferences, personality, and emotions,” says Vivek Agarwal, Co-

a venture called eGuruCool in 1998 that was a pioneer in the field of
e-learning in India. After a successful journey with eGurucool, he
established Liqvid in 2002 that focused on bringing innovative
learning solutions to corporate and large enterprises. Ever passionate
about education, he added another feather in Liqvid's cap with the
introduction of EnglishEdge that focused on changing the landscape
of English Language in India. Addressing the current scenario, Vivek
asserts, “It is a great time but also very challenging.
The opportunities are growing manifold but so is the
risk. You can improve your chances through
commitment, hard work, and persistence.”

Liqvid is launching world's 1st Language learning
AI-based product called Vocabulary Builder, which
will help the learners who are training for
competitive English language exams like IELTS,
TOFEL, GRE etc. to learn in a better way. The
solution is based on the research done by Hermann
Ebbinghaus in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Breaking from the philosophical paradigms, he
demonstrated how the law of frequency functioned

forgetting is very fast initially following a learning
experience and very slow thereafter. This curve is
also impacted by factors like 'meaningfulness', etc.

waiting for a solution, innovators need to reconvene

Currently, due to the COVID-19 crisis, e-learning is

gaining popularity amongst rural educators too.
Aditya anticipates that the expensive educational
institutions will be a thing of the past and due to e-

ver the years, increasing
digitization and
industrialization have led to
many technological advances and the
internet has played a huge role in
bringing the world closer. Industries

are heavily benefiting from the
technological advances and the
education sector is no stranger to that.
During the past few years, the concept
of e-learning has taken giant strides in
the market competing with the
traditional learning systems as it is

easier way to teach and learn. e-
learning goes hand in hand with online
learning as online interactive lectures
are converted into video e-learning
complemented by additional online
material and video courses.
Furthermore, e-learning is more
preferred because the content continues
to be accessible for the learners if they
want to refresh their learning.
Presently, there are numerous online
learning and e-learning platforms
available. However, students are still in
search of more affordable and simple

Kent Fallesen, Founder & CEO
During his business studies, Kent worked as a primary teacher where
he experienced how people learn differently and how motivation
works. After working in several companies at different positions, in
2015, he decided to use all his experience into creating a video e-

2017. Kent idolizes Steve Jobs for his innovative, relentless, and true

However, certain challenges have also emerged
along with the opportunities. One of the most
significant challenges is to simulate the impact of

Furthermore, adding a social dimension to online

across the world have placed lockdown
IMPACT OF
leading to the near-total closures of
schools, universities, and colleges along
with businesses. As a result, numerous
issues affecting access to education, as well
as broader socio-economic issues emerged.
These issues need to be addressed by
governments as soon as possible.
Many education institutes adopted various
technologies and tools to deliver quality
education to everyone. However, the result
is not up to the mark. Despite the use of
distance learning programs and open
educational applications and online
learning platforms, not every student is
receiving education because of their
financial condition and the digital divide.
The impact of coronavirus is further
causing adverse consequences on students'
development (personal and learning). Let's
take a look at how the education ecosystem
is being impacted so far:
Emerged Challenges Due To Impact of
Coronavirus
1. Different Causes behind Delays
The increasing influence of the coronavirus
pandemic is putting immense pressure on
institutes and universities. Mandatory
exams and admissions to the school are
being delayed throughout the country. In
response to the virus, some states have
40
decided to cancel or delay required
exams, while others are considering
extending the school year due to delays
and often missed school days.
Another factor causing delay is
embracing of new teaching style by
staff and teachers through online
education platforms. This involves
learning how to use online resources,
finding out how to adapt hands-on
learning materials or discussion-
oriented courses to the digital
platforms, and potentially modifying
the whole learning program oriented on
being unable to move it to an online
platform.
2. Emerging Obstacles for Staff and
Students
As college and university staff learn
how to turn their lessons into online
channels, both students and staff are
learning how to manage remote
learning and communication.
Technology has already played a
significant role in enhancing education
quality. However, the forced shift from
the classroom model to an online
learning model has caused many
people to struggle with technological
difficulties. At the same time, they have
to cope up with the new challenges of
studying at home as well as learning
how to create a productive schedule
outside of the school environment.
3. Low-Income Families
Fortunately, many school system offers
essentials such as food and healthcare
facilities to children whose family
incoming is low. Due to coronavirus pandemic, countless
children are left without regular meals with schools canceled,
and parents are forced to take off work to care for their young
children. While many schools continue online, many students
have no access to computers or the internet at home. Most
students would be forced to miss out on their education without
the appropriate equipment before more options can be
arranged.
4. Concentration Difficulties for Every Student
Younger students and children with ADHD or other special
needs find it hard to concentrate on online educational tools on
full capacity. Young kids need in-person guidance assistance
and can find it challenging to focus on a screen in a traditional
frontal class. Students with special needs, who often rely on in-
person teaching, can find moving to online platforms especially
hard. These challenges may require a more nuanced approach
to online learning or may require parents' extra support as these
students move through a new educational paradigm.
Other Opportunities for Receiving Education
1. Online Learning Platforms
As previously mentioned, many colleges and universities are
adopting online education platforms to conduct their regular
classes. This includes the use of online tools, such as group
video programs, that allow teachers and students to meet and
conduct classes over the internet.
Another way for students to pursue their studies is through
distance education, which uses online programs that substitute
teachers with instructional content that students learn alone. For
example, Online learning will be online lectures or videos that
students use at their own time, as opposed to meeting teachers
and other students' live.
2. Free Online Courses
Because of the pandemic, and the disruption of regular
education, several online educational sites have been
advertising-free courses for stuck at home students
around the world. Companies like Scholastic and
Coursera promote free online courses to allow students
to continue learning at home, and websites like
UNESCO and Openculture create lists of free online
courses and tools for anyone wanting to learn at home.
3. Parental Care
With young children returning from school at home and
upsetting their daily routines, parents need to make
plans for children who would usually be in school. They
need to help younger children manage the school on the
internet and with online lessons and other necessary
areas. With the aid of power supply, teachers' and
students' digital skills, internet access, digital learning,
high and low technology solutions, etc., need to be
explored.
Conclusion:
The world is changing and will continue to do so in the
future. At the moment, the world needs an effective
educational practice for building young minds.
Governments across the globe need to take some
initiatives to ensure the delivery of quality education to
every child. But, limiting the spread of coronavirus is
also very important. So till then stay safe, stay at home!
