The international crisis caused by Covid-19 has impacted every facet of society and has resulted in many crises in how services can now be safely delivered. Our educational system was suddenly stopped in its tracks when schools and colleges were forced to close.
Therefore, whether to introduce distance online learning or not is no longer a hot potato but a crying need if we want to keep the flow of teaching and learning.
It’s not a choice but a necessity for now. Distance online learning has already been introduced at some levels so that we don’t miss out on lessons. But to make it work well for the benefits of all students from different financial backgrounds, there are several things that need to be looked at carefully.
Televised classes have already been introduced by the government. Radio-based classrooms are also supposed to be started soon. Dhaka University, faced with unprecedented challenges and countless unknowns, has also switched to online classes...
Universities should, for example, contribute towards internet costs and buying technologies required to attend online classes. Teachers should cast their informed eyes on students and contact parents on a regular basis to ensure that no one drops out.
Teachers should provide reading materials that are easy to download and can be used offline. Teachers’ ability to teach effectively using the latest technologies should also be enhanced through targeted training.
