Dear colleagues, Globally over 1.2 billion children are out of school due to COVID-19 (World Economic Forum). COVID-19 has dramatically changed the face of education worldwide. This change in the face of education is sine quo non. However, do we precisely know what teachers need to make remote schooling/online learning work? Are teachers equipped with the whole arsenal of technologies required to unleash students' full potential? Are teachers confident in using technologies to teach?
I would like to know how you were able to address these issues as teachers. Additionally, as teacher educators, how would you like to tailor curricula to accommodate the needs of pre/in-service teachers to effectively integrate technologies in their practice.
Please share your thoughts and practices with me
Here in Kingdom of Bahrain, where I live, at the beginning of the crisis, a shift was made to digital instructional platforms such as Ms.Teams. However, this was preceded by many training courses for both teachers and students on how to use Ms.Teams platform. After a while, the moodle was used as LMS after upgrading it to be integrated with Ms.Teams to deliver live sessions. Now, we are using a blended learning approach. In practical courses, students are divided into small groups to attend on campus. As for theoretical classes, we still are using moodle.
Coronavirus-related disruption can give educators time to rethink the sector.
Technology has stepped into the breach, and will continue to play a key role in educating future generations.
In a world where knowledge is a mouse-click away, the role of the educator must change too.
For a while now, educators around the world have been talking about the need to rethink how we educate future generations. This might just be the disruption that the sector needed to get us all to rethink how we educate, and question what we need to teach and what we are preparing our students for. So, as we educators grapple with the new ways of communicating with our students away from our classrooms and lecture theatres, it is a good time to reflect on how this disruptive crisis can help us define what learning should look like for Generations Z, Alpha and beyond.
As the pandemic is unprecedented, it'sa bit hard (for both teachers and students) to get in full potential on E-learning platform.
Hi
From my point of view: Educational institution will be hampered. Scholarships and funds will be reduced. Higher study in abroad also will be reduced.
К сожалению, процесс воспитания среди студенческой молодежи будет заторможен...
From my point of view education system will be designed as face to face and Online courses will be added in curriculum.Students will be having additional learning of new technologies.In addition teachers would be required more preparation to answer the queries of parents and their administration while delivering online lectures.Ongoing feed back and supportive teaching and learning environment would be the key to uplift education system.

From my own point of view. This global pandemic has caused a serious disruption in face to face mode of learning. This disruption has further unveiled the need to fine-tune the pedagogical mode of learning to enhance digital/online platform for quality education.
It is difficult to accommodate every aspect of teaching, learning and assessment in distant education/e-learning/online teaching-learning. I do believe traditional teaching-learning and online teaching-learning both would be the options where online teaching-learning might cover the maximum areas.
What can we do if we do not change the way of the learning process in the COVID-19 outbreak?
We have already changed whether the learner, teacher likes it or not, otherwise, we would get infected.
In Indonesia, the teachers and students use online learning and at once we are learning online technology.
It is difficult, but we managed it, although until now learning using online technology is still limping.
The good thing is the government support us by giving free data package; for teachers 50 GB and for students 35 GB. The education cannot be stopped because of COVID-19 outbreak.
