Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has damaged educational systems at all levels, forcing almost complete closures of schools, colleges, and universities. Every industry around the globe has been negatively impacted by COVID-19. These days, everyone is talking about it, concentrating on the costs and negatives of COVID-19. We must rise above this terrible circumstance to adopt a constructive outlook.  

We are here to discuss the positive changes that COVID has brought to the education system lately.  

New Learning Methods 

The pandemic compelled teachers in all kinds of schools, colleges, and institutions to switch to a blended learning approach or online modules. To be prepared to handle this kind of learning, teachers had to quickly adapt to technology and undergo corresponding training. Blended learning may also provide opportunities for curriculum and educational development thanks to the novel delivery along with the assessment methods that are being used. Additionally, this presents a chance for curriculum creators to raise the caliber of the course materials.  

Better Changes  

The introduction of blended learning and unexpected circumstances might encourage the development of a curriculum that emphasizes not only academic content but also resilience, critical thinking, leadership, courage, and decision-making.  

Impact on Students 

Students today use mobile devices, mostly to learn new things, such as lectures about the use of Zoom, Google Meet, and Google Classroom. They also learn how to submit assignments and upload files on Google Classroom.  

To learn the topic, students started watching various online lectures according to their course schedules. They developed greater intelligence and awareness while preparing for online exams by looking up and resolving multiple-choice problems related to each subject. The largest shift in students is this. Additionally, college students make use of their free time during the summer by finishing online certificates in subjects like Matlab, C programming, R software, Java, Scilab, etc., which will undoubtedly help them develop personally and open job chances for them in the future.  

Impact on Teachers 

Teachers can use new technologies to improve and modernize their classrooms. For the benefit of the kids’ education, they attempt to change with the times. Therefore, during a pandemic, students are taught using modern methods such as PPTs, videos, video conferencing, online lectures on Zoom Meeting, international research journals on advanced science hubs, Google Meet, or other meeting software. These are regarded as the best instructional tools.
