Rebooting Education: A Shift of Education Industry to Online Ecosystem
Monday | May 11, 2020With Coronavirus (COVID-19) spreading its malicious wings across the globe, there is a widespread sense of fear, panic and confusion. Declared a Pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO), COVID-19 has been the cause of rapidly intensifying economic effects worldwide. People in India have also been compelled to stay at home, amid a nationwide lockdown, to check the spread of the disease.
Internet has proved to be a major saviour globally – be it for entertainment or learning – enabling people to work, stay connected, learn new skills or simply keep boredom at bay. Home became the new office and work resumed with the help of technology. The education industry also followed suit.
The education system, which was totally disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, rebooted itself in a new avatar – the online classrooms.
More and more schools have begun moving online, highlighting the enormous possibilities and potential of technology in education.
However, not all schools, colleges and educational institutions have been able to connect with their students yet. Some are still searching for the correct platform, while others are still worried about students’ connectivity issues. While yet others are worried about teachers’ and staff’s compatibility, competency or computer literacy.
