The rise of online learning 线上学习成热潮

Globally， over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom because of COVID?19. As a result，

education has changed dramatically with the unique rise of E?learning. Research suggests that online learning has been shown to increase the reserve of information， and take less time.

While some believe that the unplanned and rapid move to online learning—with no training， insufficient bandwidth （带宽）， and little preparation， will result in a poor user experience， others believe that a new mixed model of education will arise with significant benefits.

There is evidence that learning online can be more effective in a number of ways. Some research shows that on average， students remember 25%?60% more material when learning online compared to only 8%?10% in a classroom. This is mostly due to the students being able to learn faster online;

E?learning requires 40%?60% less time to learn than in a traditional classroom setting because students can learn at their own pace， going back and re?reading， skipping， or accelerating through concepts as they choose.

There are， however， challenges to overcome. Some students without reliable Internet access or technology struggle to participate in digital learning; this gap is seen across countries and between income levels within countries. For example， while 95% of students in Switzerland， Norway， and Austria have a computer to use for their schoolwork， only 34% in Indonesia do， according to OECD data.

For those who do have access to the right technology， the effectiveness of online learning varies amongst age groups. The general consensus （普遍共识） on children， especially younger ones， is that a structured environment is required， because kids are more easily distracted. To get the full benefit of online learning， there needs to be a combined effort to provide this structure and go beyond copying a physical class/lecture through video capabilities， instead， using a range of cooperation tools and

engagement methods that promote “inclusion， personalization and intelligence”， according to Dowson Tong， Senior Executive Vice President of Tencent and President of its Cloud and Smart Industries Group.
