Schools around the world have closed their doors because of the coronavirus pandemic, leaving more than 1.5 billion children stuck at home. While it's a great inconvenience for many, it has created a spike in demand for online learning.
全球?qū)W校受新冠疫情影響都停課了,有超過15億學(xué)生宅在家。雖然對(duì)很多人來(lái)說(shuō)現(xiàn)在生活很不方便,但在線學(xué)習(xí)的需求量卻激增。
Educational institutions are introducing online courses and some education technology startups are temporarily offering free classes to help offset the impact of school closures.
教育機(jī)構(gòu)正在推出網(wǎng)上課程,一些教育技術(shù)初創(chuàng)公司暫時(shí)提供免費(fèi)課程,幫助降低學(xué)校停課的影響。
Take Byju's, an India-based education startup named after its founder, Byju Raveendran. In early March, it announced it would give children free access to its learning app, which it says had more than 40 million users at the end of last year. Around 3 million of those paid between $150 and $200 for an annual subscription.
Byju's是一家印度的教育初創(chuàng)公司,以創(chuàng)始人Byju Raveendran的名字命名。該公司在三月初宣布,學(xué)生可以免費(fèi)在其應(yīng)用程序上學(xué)習(xí)。該公司說(shuō)截止去年年底用戶數(shù)量超過4千萬(wàn),其中約300萬(wàn)用戶一年的學(xué)費(fèi)為150美元到200美元不等。
Since the announcement, the company says it has experienced a 60% surge in students using its products, which range from interactive video lessons and live classes, to quizzes and exam preparation.
宣布這一消息以后,該公司說(shuō)使用其學(xué)習(xí)產(chǎn)品的學(xué)生數(shù)量激增了60%。該公司的學(xué)習(xí)產(chǎn)品包括互動(dòng)視頻課程、直播課程、小測(cè)驗(yàn)和考試準(zhǔn)備。
A nationwide lockdown, ordered by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in late March, means that India's school-age population of around 300 million is suddenly having to home educate.
三月末總理納倫德拉·莫迪命令全國(guó)封鎖,這意味著印度約3億學(xué)生突然要在家上課了。
"The outbreak is clearly increasing the appreciation of online education," Raveendran tells CNN Business. "This could be a turning point for the industry, ushering in an increased usage of this format and changing habits in terms of how kids learn and how teachers teach," he adds.
Raveendran對(duì)《CNN Business》說(shuō):“疫情顯然增加了對(duì)網(wǎng)課的需求,這可能是這一產(chǎn)業(yè)的轉(zhuǎn)折點(diǎn),提高了這種模式的利用率,改變了孩子學(xué)習(xí)和教師上課的習(xí)慣?!?/div>
Other Indian platforms, including Unacademy, Vedantu and Toppr are also offering free classes and content to students.
Unacademy、Vedantu和Toppr等其他印度平臺(tái)也向?qū)W生提供免費(fèi)課程和學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容。
