School learning took an exciting turn post March 2020. The brick and mortar system collapsed, and the pandemic made way for online learning. Online learning was a concept used for people pursuing their higher education through distance learning. But ever since students were unable to attend their regular classes because of the pandemic scare, elearning became a norm in the schools too. Unfortunately, though online learning was initially considered a boon, it was not enough to bring substantial results in student learning.
Through online learning, teachers could not conduct effective classes that left students disinterested; the learning material was unorganised, which created many problems for students to learn effectively. Most importantly, the learning strategy was unplanned, which brought no improvement in students’ grades. Besides hampering student growth, many schools faced a massive financial crisis, and parents refused to pay the fee. Moreover, the parents were not convinced about their children's quality of learning in the ongoing times of uncertainty. So they turned towards progressive, forward-looking schools that guarantee measurable results across all subjects. Because, pandemic or no pandemic, every parent wants good grades for their children, and when that is not achieved, they do not think twice before switching schools. Parents are constantly worried about their children’s deteriorating results in such a scenario. Many forward-thinking schools turned towards LMS (Learning Management System) in this situation. LMS has been considered a boon since online learning showed its insufficiency. When a school adopts LMS, student learning gets enhanced, and parents are always in the loop of their child’s performance. Some of the essential benefits of LMS are:
The lessons learnt from the pandemic In a way, the ongoing pandemic has been a boon to the education sector as it pushed the stakeholders to look beyond the traditional walls of the schools and adopt an innovative way of learning. Since time immemorial, going to school was the only way for children to learn, but no one ever thought what would happen if schools shut down without any notice that too indefinitely. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened when schools closed across the globe without any warning. The sector was not ready to embrace the change and suffered immeasurably. The learning loss that students faced remains unprecedented. According to UNESCO, “Learning losses from COVID-19 could cost this generation of students close to $17 trillion in lifetime earnings.” Hence, it is now imperative for countries to build a resilient system. Bringing technology into the school's ecosystem is no longer a luxury today. Any school that still follows the traditional mode of learning will perish.
