It is almost two years since COVID-19 made us dramatically evaluate our normal academic practices and go online.
In the best-case scenarios, the teaching was halted for a couple of weeks to reboot. In extreme cases, lectures and tutorials had to be moved online within a few hours of scheduled classes. For a while, Twitter had been bursting with war stories from the frontlines. A quick search of #learningandteaching provides us with a glimpse of late nights, blurry eyes, and tired eardrums.

As an educational designer, operating in third space (with both academic and professional credentials), this has been an incredible change to witness from the inside. Week after week, my colleagues and I worked closely with academics on aspects of learning design that we never thought would be possible on such scale within such a short time.
There has been an incredible kindness amongst the learning and teaching community. People have opened their subject/course designs and shared their hopes and uncertainties for their teaching practice. Tips about teaching Zoom/ Microsoft Teams/ other video-based platform classes were regularly provided on social media. Free webinars and support trainings were offered globally. Stories from teaching sessions were shared, both successful and failed ones.
The most beautiful aspect was the sharing of a very vulnerable face of academics. In the tough competitive world, this side is often encouraged to be kept hidden. However, perhaps the susceptibility of life itself allowed us to show our exhausted, smiling, hangry, lost, and honest face.

Kids threw up on laptops; partners brought food and drinks, and might have occasionally done chicken dance in the background; a few people broke down during Zoom classrooms because they lost loved ones, attracting empathy and stirring emotions; some people were seen in their jammies; discussion about death and illness was de-tabooed; pets routinely made an appearance, sometimes as a cameo, other times as the lead participant; blatant racism was called out; internalised racism was reflected on; and empathy and sympathy was offered. COVID-19 also exposed injustices and inequalities within and at times, due to our educational systems.
There were those amongst us who wanted to keep talking about their high productivity. These individuals were universally considered as spawn of evil and shall not be discussed here.
A shout out to all the incredible educational technologists, curriculum designers, e-teaching advisers, pedagogy consultants and other third-space academics who literally held the hands of teaching staff and led them through a rather blind tunnel.
It has been more than a year that Covid-19 began its impact on our lives. Most aspects of our day-to-day life are still dictated and subject to changes due to the wreck Covid-19 continues to unleash upon this world.
It is not an unknown fact about how this perilous virus has drastically changed the face of education in India. The education sector hardly had any time to adjust to the changing times.
From teaching in real physical classrooms, learning in India, along with the rest of the world, suddenly shifted to online ‘classrooms’.
Impact on practical-based subjects
Despite the adoption of online education gaining momentum, this mode of learning cannot compensate for classroom learning.
This form of education is inherently flawed and lacks the basic elements of quality education such as the formation of a teacher-student relationship and the facility to carry out practical.
A new academic year will begin again, and students will again be at crossroads, in terms of which course to pursue. Covid-19 and the restrictions made it difficult for the students to choose a course of their choice.
While theory-based subjects such as English, sociology, or other humanities courses have accommodated well in this environment of online education, practical-based courses such as BSc, bachelor’s in biotechnology, or engineering, among others, have faced severe downside.
For example, a laboratory experiment that involves electrical/mechanical heavy equipment cannot be performed by students in an online setting. Lack of practical knowledge has been a burning issue ever since the initiation of online education.
Should students then enroll to practical-based subjects?
In spite of all the hurdles and troubles that will ensure if students opt for practical-based subjects in these months, academic life dominated by online education shouldn’t serve as the sole reason for not choosing a course the student genuinely likes.
While it is an undeniable fact that the absence of access to labs means that the theoretical knowledge of students wouldn’t have the opportunity to translate to practical knowledge.
Vaccination and opening up of higher education institutions
One positive side that should help students make the right decision is the ongoing vaccination drives and at the pace that these are being conducted.
Several states have opened educational institutes, especially higher education for those fully vaccinated. it is also true that their entire academic career in higher education won’t be held captive by online education.
Even during the first half of 2021, various authorities of different colleges and universities had decided to call back their final year students or students enrolled in practical-based courses.
Thus, the authorities concerned are aware of the need for practical education in a student’s life; therefore, they fight tooth and nail to ensure their arrival to the campus.

New approach to online education
The faculty of various colleges and universities have put their heart and soul into ensuring that they continue to deliver the best quality education to the students, despite the constraints put on them.
They usually save their practical’s for when the students will be physically brought back to campus. They also look for alternatives through which they can disseminate a resemblance, if not a replica, of the quality education they have been previously credited for, before Corona changed our lives forever.
In tandem with this thought, professors are resorting to using AI (Artificial Intelligence) and AR (Augmented Reality) to compensate for the lack of practical.
Remote practical
This concept is quickly gaining ground in this remote learning era. Though not a feasible replacement of actual practice, the induction of such technology-based practicals should encourage students to not swerve from their decision of enrolling in a practical-oriented subject.
As an example, there are companies that support many institutions across India by providing them with applications that help educators create virtual laboratories and home lab kits. These are providing an actual practical knowledge.
Desirability toward a course
Another important criterion that should push the students in the right direction is their level of likeability for the subject.
If a student holds a level of affection towards a subject, even if it is practical based, no virus should have the upper hand and compel them to make wrong decisions.
Future move
Therefore, with the right level of dedication and patience, students can manage their way through online education and anticipate their arrival in their respective campuses, sooner or later.
Students must have the ability to straighten up these few bumps’ life has thrown that way and try to make the most of their time.
Thus, no restraint, let alone a virus like Covid-19 should be bestowed with so much power that it will stop a student from following their heart.
If willing to accommodate for a few months, the prevailing situation would never be considered to serve as a reason for opting out of a practical based course. With optimism, students should march ahead and await a bright future, no matter the prevailing situation.

More children are staying away from the classroom and being home-schooled after the pandemic (PA) (PA Wire)
The number of children being home schooled in England has risen amid parents’ concerns over Covid-19, a survey suggests.
The Association of Directors of Children’s Services (ADCS) estimated 115,542 children and young people were being home educated at some point during the 2020/21 academic year, up 34{e4f787673fbda589a16c4acddca5ba6fa1cbf0bc0eb53f36e5f8309f6ee846cf} from the previous year.
The ADCS said the most common reason parents decided to home-school children was due to concerns over Covid-19.
It added that local authorities said they had been notified by parents who were pulling children out of school because they had become concerned over their emotional health, anxiety and mental health needs.

In a snapshot comparison, the ADCS also looked at the number of children being home-schooled on school census day on October 7 this year. It concluded an estimated 81,196 children were being home-schooled across all 152 local authorities in England – a rise of seven per cent from the same school census day the year before.
The report published by the ADCS said the number of children being electively home educated has been growing 20{e4f787673fbda589a16c4acddca5ba6fa1cbf0bc0eb53f36e5f8309f6ee846cf} each year for the past five years.
A total of 117 local authorities told ADCS they provided support to families with children being home educated using video calls, phone calls and meetings. The authorities said there was a “huge loophole in elective home schooling’s national policy, which makes the existing policy unsafe”.
In a comment made in the report, it was said: “There needs to be a statutory duty implemented to ensure our children who are home educated are learning, have regular home visits (that are statutory, not parental option) so the child is seen and to observe the work taking place.”
Gail Tolley, chair of the ADCS’s educational achievement policy committee, said: “Every child has the right to a suitable education, and we recognise that parents have the right to educate their child at home.
“For six years now, we have seen year-on-year increases in the number of children being educated at home. This report highlights just how much of an impact the pandemic and the closure of some schools has had on this number.
ADCS is concerned that without powers to see both the child and their place of learning, we cannot know that these children are receiving a suitable education in a safe and appropriate learning environment
Gail Tolley, ADCS
“Local authorities have a duty to ensure that children being educated at home are safe and receiving a good education, yet we do not have a role in assurance of this, nor is there adequate guidance on what a suitable education looks like.
“ADCS is concerned that without powers to see both the child and their place of learning, we cannot know that these children are receiving a suitable education in a safe and appropriate learning environment.”
She said ADCS is calling on the Government to establish a mandatory register of all electively home-educated children, with a duty on the local authority to visit the child to assess their education provided.
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: “We support parents who want to educate their children at home. However, now more than ever, it is absolutely vital that any decision to home educate is made with the child’s best interests at the forefront of parents’ minds.
“We have provided guidance for councils and parents to help them in situations where home education is being considered, and remain committed to a registration system for children not in school, which will help councils with their existing duty to make sure all children receive a suitable education.
“Further details on the register will be set out in our upcoming consultation response.”
Although most parents and carers provide a good home education, the LGA is concerned that the pandemic has led to increasing numbers of children receiving education outside the classroom and missing out on the benefits that a school environment brings
Anntoinette Bramble, Local Government Association
Paul Whiteman, general secretary of school leaders’ union NAHT, said: “The Government must find out the reasons behind so many more families choosing home education.
“The concern is that many appear to have chosen home education because they have lost faith in the Government’s approach to school safety during the pandemic.”
He added there was a “clear safeguarding concern”. This was because there was no legal obligation for a parent to provide any notification to a school about the withdrawal of a child to be home educated.
He said: “It could lead to a child at risk being missed, with neither school nor local authority knowing for certain what has happened to them. Without an officially maintained register, there remains the risk of children becoming lost outside system.”
Councillor Anntoinette Bramble, chair of the Local Government Association’s Children and Young People Board, said local authorities need to be given more powers to enter homes to ensure children are receiving a suitable education.
She said: “Although most parents and carers provide a good home education, the LGA is concerned that the pandemic has led to increasing numbers of children receiving education outside the classroom and missing out on the benefits that a school environment brings, such as safeguarding and learning and socialising with other children.”

When Amber Ingram became a mother, dwelling-education her children appeared like a natural upcoming action to just about absolutely everyone but her. As a community college instructor in Colorado Springs, and married to a different community faculty trainer, Ingram saw herself training at the head of a classroom, not the head of her kitchen area table.
But which is precisely where by she found herself past drop and yet again this school 12 months, together with lots of other newcomers to Colorado’s residence-schooling landscape.
The footprint of dwelling schooling in Colorado is expanding, with the amount of young children formally designated as finding out from dwelling doubling from tumble 2019 to slide 2020. The dramatic maximize isn’t necessarily a surprise, household-school advocates and condition education officers say, specified how the pandemic has pressured little ones to discover at residence alternatively of classrooms and pushed parents into the part of educator. But the face of property education is also changing, as new waves of mom and dad turn into inclined to take the obstacle of instructing at house if it means skipping the uncertainties of existence in pandemic-shaken universities.

“They’re staying pressured to test it, and then as they are remaining pressured to test, they are learning that they can do it,” stated Stephen Craig, government director of Christian House Educators of Colorado, which aids families understand property-education possibilities and offers information to parent educators.
In slide 2020, about 7 months into the pandemic, the state counted 15,773 household-schooled pupils, up from 7,880 the 12 months prior to. They remain a very small group in contrast to the extra than 883,000 college students enrolled in community educational institutions throughout 178 districts.
But the progress in the state’s household-university populace is anticipated to be long-lasting, reported Monthly bill Kottenstette, government director of the Colorado Office of Education’s Faculties of Choice Unit. He anticipates that the selection of home-schooled college students will stay higher than it was just before the pandemic but that the progress will begin to taper off this faculty 12 months. He expects much less families to opt for home education this 12 months in contrast with last 12 months, when there was “less certainty as to how issues have been likely to evolve.”
And he anticipates quite a few people who turned to dwelling schooling mainly because of the coronavirus will transition again into general public or private schools. “More parents have experienced residence education for the initial time,” he mentioned. “That will consequence in some determining that that’s not what they want to do.”
But the pandemic has designed it less difficult for other parents to stick with it.
“There’s better top quality means to aid parents,” Kottenstette explained. “Technology advancements have produced it simpler for mom and dad to present dwelling schooling and parents’ versatile work arrangements might make it much more feasible as perfectly.”
The point out will have a clearer plan of the number of youngsters who are household schooled this 12 months when it counts all pupils in Oct, as it does every yr.

There also is “a increasing fascination in a blend of household faculty and community school” in which college students divide their time in between them, Kottenstette mentioned. Very last slide, the state education office recorded 9,532 residence-schooled students who were being also having lessons element time in general public schools, up from 8,744 college students in fall 2019.
Craig, of Christian House Educators of Colorado, claimed it is “a pivotal instant for household schooling as a complete.”
As the residence-university population expands, there is an raising assortment in the styles of problems that led people to flip away from conventional educational institutions, Craig said. He’s read from parents of struggling pupils who want a extra customized tactic to finding out. Other people complained their small children were being bullied and that schools didn’t do plenty of to shield them. Opposition to mask prerequisites has contributed to the boom — alongside with the acquainted conflicts around lesson strategies in subject areas like heritage and sex training.
“They’re just searching for options,” Craig explained.
“All over the map”
Barbara West, a Colorado Springs resident who has residence-schooled 5 kids, has seen curiosity explode among the all sorts of families — which include households with unique religious backgrounds, mother and father who aid the use of vaccines and some others who oppose them, and households with a solitary dad or mum. The complexion of residence education is a great deal broader than in the earlier, when it was generally composed of two-dad or mum households in which a person dad or mum, often the mother, would remain home to choose the guide in educating, West explained.
“It’s all above the map,” she explained. “It is so diversified.”
West, who sits on the boards of a few household-schooling corporations and who operates a Facebook team titled Homeschooling Colorado, reported quite a few mothers and fathers are reimagining education and experimenting with when, in which and how their children learn. She called it a throwback to a time when educating small children was a lot less formal.

“I think mom and dad are seeing it’s possible some places the place they can actually enable their children to comprehend principles in education and learning, to love studying, and they see discovering exterior of the faculty constructing,” West said.
Ingrid Welch is taking that strategy and jogging with it — all the way across the nation. Welch, who life in Jefferson County, commenced residence-education her daughter final yr as she entered sixth quality. The relatives is continuing dwelling-education this calendar year but with a twist as they try out out “road-schooling.”
Last 7 days, Welch, her associate and her daughter revved up two autos and a fifth wheel camper that will be their new foundation for property schooling around the subsequent year as they travel countless numbers of miles.
The family’s initially stop: Antelope Island in Utah, wherever they will discuss about environmental concerns like drinking water conservation. From there, they will make their way to Yellowstone National Park and Glacier Countrywide Park and then onward with a target to go to the lessen 48 states.
The pandemic nudged Welch into house schooling for her daughter. The girl was bullied in faculty and had a hard time retaining her classes specified on the web by a non-public firm.
“(The pandemic) gave me braveness to do one thing a minimal bit out of the box since everybody at that position was doing some thing out of the box,” Welch stated.
Welch, who went to school for instructing but under no circumstances became a trainer, property-schooled her more mature daughter when the relatives was in between universities when going again to the U.S. from the Bahamas. She never ever envisioned property-schooling her young daughter.

“It just didn’t look doable for our lifestyle at that point,” she explained, specially as she labored as a healthcare aid expert in a quick-term disaster center for adolescents.
She modified her intellect right after the start off of the pandemic, feeling that her daughter’s faculty wasn’t furnishing sufficient support. Even though she taught her daughter in the afternoons following work last 12 months, this following university 12 months will carry much more adaptability on the open up road and, with it, much more self esteem for her daughter.
She’s presently found a alter in her daughter, who utilised to often don hoodies about her head and attempt to cover herself at college.
“It’s presented us an chance to do all these items we would not have been able to do right before,” Welch stated. “I think my daughter has thrived with it. I assume she’s extra self-confident.”
The pandemic also pulled Ingram, of Colorado Springs, into house education — a deviation from her family’s strategies to teach their three children in public educational facilities. A mix of concerns about some of the lessons getting taught to their young small children on subject areas like gender identification, frustrations with at the very least one of their small children not staying challenged plenty of in university and COVID-19 restrictions, like masking, solidified their selection to school the youngsters at house.

Now, Ingram utilizes “a hodgepodge” of supplies to teach her young ones and outlines a everyday program for them to master all jointly and individually. For about 3 to four hours a working day, she sits with them to pray jointly, operate on handwriting, go through, memorize poetry and Bible verses, aim on grammar and spelling, and apply significant considering competencies and math. Her teaching places an emphasis on record, science, tunes and artwork all over the week. As considerably as she tries to hold her little ones in a schedule and plot out chunks of time for lessons, her kids often run in excess of time, she reported, just as psyched to study as she is to train them. As soon as a week, they get alongside one another with other residence-schooled small children to master and socialize.
The swap has altered Ingram’s notion of home schooling. She once viewed household-faculty learners as missing social competencies and taking an “archaic” strategy to education and learning.
Other folks, like West, have battled a stigma in opposition to people who residence-faculty their kids as people look at them as “kind of dowdy” and presume they dress in jeans for “five times straight.”
“I believe I had put it in a box that was minimal,” Ingram claimed. “I didn’t recognize all the alternatives that household college can open up.”
