There have been certain technical development over the previous
decade that has enabled learning on an online platform possible. E-learning is
a tool that has broadly been utilized and is becoming a part of the day-to-day
activities of a school. Especially under the risk of COVID-19, it has moved
rapidly and proficiently to fill the gap created by the suspension of physical
classroom learning in schools, colleges, and other educational institutions.
ODM Public School, one of the best residential schools in Bhubaneswar is taking
the necessary steps to manage the students’ learning.
Why
are more and more students enrolling in E-learning courses?
As one after the other city started to get impacted by the
Coronavirus pandemic and its repercussions, students were sent home from
a residential school in Bhubaneswar. ODMPS did not wish
to take any risk on the lives of their students. At that time, there was no
clear-cut plan as to how the learning will continue. The supposition was that
this would pass soon enough and the studies will not be affected and that the
students could do some vacation. Now, as the infection has advanced starting
with one area then onto the next, it has become increasingly clearer that this
lockdown isn’t leaving at any point in the near future.
This has led to schools, universities and coaching centres to offer online education and not let students waste their time on Coronavirus, and this has led students enrolling in e-learning courses. ODM Public School is a CBSE school in Bhubaneswar that didn’t leave its students high and dry, but further ventured into creating a platform for its K-12 students where they can learn from their own teachers and clear any doubts on a real-time basis.
Further some studies show that the Indian demography could make
use of an online learning environment as many of the learners come from rural
or semi-rural areas where educational facilities, be it school, college or
entrance examination level is below par. The entire education ecosystem is
taking measures to come together to ensure that the leaders of the future do
not suffer during these times of crisis. While the educators are giving free
access to their tools and technologies and schools creating their integrated
platforms to engage, learners are responding by utilizing the opportunities in
great numbers. Further, ODM Public School Odisha has launched its YouTube
channel apart from their online learning app which will stay for the time to
come. And just like ODMPS, there are other educators who believe that this
trend of e-learning will stay at par and grow as it offers the flexibility of
time, pace and location that can’t be matched by anything else.
