The novel coronavirus Corona 19 (COVID-19) is spreading. In China, due to the virus, the new semester of elementary, middle and high schools starting on February 17 was postponed. Instead of classes, schools started online classes all at once so that students can continue learning at home. The number of targets alone reached 180 million.
Due to the spread of the virus, the Chinese education authorities announced a delay in the start of the new semester on January 27 and announced a policy to conduct online classes on January 29. The textbooks were cooperated by elementary, middle and high schools provided by Beijing, Shanghai University, and Renmin University of China, which have already introduced online classes. In addition, major online learning platforms in China are offering free online classes for students.
In China, online learning has been popular since 10 years ago, so it is said that this time, it was possible to connect with rapid response. Online learning platforms allow teachers to add textbooks or exchange interactively. However, it is said that a plan to broadcast related classes through state TV was also taken into account in areas where the Internet is not available such as rural areas and students who cannot connect to the Internet due to poverty.
How long this system will last depends on the antivirus, etc. However, it is not difficult to imagine that the Chinese Internet population will increase and online education will expand. Although negative aspects such as privacy issues are often discussed in China, it is clear that the speed for such a new introduction is impressive. Related information can be found here .
