access all the material they need, as well as submit their work and find out their grades.
Branding itself as “education’s partner in change,” the platform strives to deliver solutions for learner engagement, academic effectiveness and education insight.
To assist with the transition to remote learning, the platform has launched a new self-service portal through which departments can order Blackboard Collaborate, a paid virtual classroom and web conferencing service.
Furthering its contribution to e-learning during COVID-19, Blackboard is also offering 30-minute webinars and online courses for teachers and professors for free. Additionally, the platform has data analytics resources to help teachers manage pupils’ engagement with distance learning.
Social networking service and cloud-based virtual learning environment Schoology provides the resources teachers require to manage online classrooms in over 60,000 schools in over 80 countries.
Schoology offers in excess of 200 e-learning tools, student education systems and education platforms to support teaching, learning, grading, pupil collaboration, attendance and assessment.
To accomodate for recent school closures, the e-learning platform is allowing 12th grade school and higher education institutions to increase their license count for free via a series of flexible programs.
As well as Schoology’s free basic package, it is also offering ‘self-service’ access to its premium service, Schoology Enterprise, with billing delayed until June 30 of this year.
Finally, the platform has put together a ‘readiness kit’ for distance learning, which includes best practices and educational resources for both teachers and students.
Although the education sector is being hit hard by the effects of COVID-19, the ed tech industry has been its saving grace during uncertain times.
By enabling classes to continue, e-learning platforms have helped maintain a level of normality for schools across the world. The discounts and free packages they are offering have also allowed as many as possible access to the technology, regardless of their financial situation. The benefits of some positive ed tech PR for these e-learning platforms are there for all to see, and will surely earn them glowing praise and attention from ed tech industry influencers.
