Description
This book studies the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education and examines the abrupt transition to virtual learning through digital platforms. It provides policy-makers, administrators, and educators with research-based guidance on implementing online classes and supporting teacher groundwork. The main arguments focus on how the crisis has forced remote delivery across disciplines while exacerbating existing societal inequalities. The book covers several key themes, including socio-economic challenges, access to technology, internet connectivity issues, content preparation, pedagogical limitations, management of learning time, funding shortages, cumbersome schedules, learners' pre-existing knowledge, online engagement, learning outcomes, and assessment difficulties. Additionally, the text explores potential opportunities arising from the crisis, such as self-digitalization, upskilling, and bridging educational gaps to improve future learning systems.
