Digital classes are here to stay longer than expected—embracing the change

Many want to understand the long-term implications of the prolonged disruption on students’ education and what needs to be done to help mitigate the learning losses due to COVID-19 or crises of such magnitude in the future.

The education industry faced unprecedented losses during the ongoing crisis—it is said to have created the biggest disruption in the sector’s history. This time around, countries have to choose a  better option to withstand future catastrophes to cope with the shocks and recover sooner than they have now. Unfortunately, online learning has not been able to bear the shocks of the ongoing pandemic—creating learning gaps in a student learning curve that cannot be filled in later. Therefore, having the right technology that surpasses “online learning” is required by schools globally.

Elearning—here to stay?

eLearning has revolutionised the sector and has made some monumental changes. According to a report by the World Economic Forum, the technology requires 40-60% less time to learn than in a traditional classroom as students can learn at their own pace, going back and re-reading, skipping, or accelerating through concepts as they choose. Therefore, having the right technology is important-er than the mere presence of it.  Digital classes in schools supported by integrated management solutions are what is needed by the distressed education system.

• Digital classes help students learn at their own pace and in a personalised way. Every student journey is different, and they learn differently.
• Digital classes in schools also enable quality learning with the help of resources other than textbooks. The stand and deliver teaching method is not a very resilient way to tackle the modern-day problems faced by the industry.
• Digital classes through various tools help parents and teachers get involved deeper with students in their academic curve for enhanced results.
• Students engagement level gets boosted with digital classes as the monotonous syllabus gets replaced by a world-class curriculum.
