COVID-19 and Distance Learning

Abstract

The Covid-19 virus outbreak has presented new challenges to both students and teachers, forcing them to transition from face-to-face to online instruction in a short span of time. Threats created new opportunities, allowing students who were unable to attend school to use online classes to improve their lot and academic skills. Creating an inclusive course for learners is a huge undertaking. This article discusses some effective practices and techniques for increasing inclusion and avoiding accessibility problems that may come in a virtual classroom, such as a MOOC for IT e-learning, while keeping students with special needs in mind. Due to campus closures, the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has put universities to the test in terms of providing a high-quality, safe educational experience for students. As a result, elearning could replace traditional classroom instruction and make education more accessible to students. Previous research has used individual online teaching cases to leverage a variety of online learning tools to ensure the progression of medical education in China during this difficult period. However, we performed a comprehensive review of local online instructional methods, existing challenges, and potential solutions for the first time.
