It’s been particularly interesting to see how quickly the education and learning sector has been able to innovate and adapt to this new reality. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella shared a letter talking about how the University of Bologna in Italy moved most of its courses for its 80,000 students online within three days. A Stanford blog talked about using platforms such as Google classrooms, YouTube and Microsoft Teams to connect with students. Closer to home, Indian edtech companies --TCS iON, EkStep, Unacademy, Byju’s,Vedantu have been pursuing the Indian market aggressively in recent years. The opportunity will need us to quickly reassess the always-on, online learning environment and enable teachers, students and parents alike.
