Learning amid pandemic

One of the solutions to help schools, educators, and students achieve their learning goals amid the ongoing health crisis is e-learning. And some institutions are preparing for uncertainty by beginning the transition to remote education. 

Learning amid pandemic
Genyo e-Learning guides schools on how to transition to e-learning through content, systems, and training.

Genyo e-Learning, Diwa Learning Systems Inc.’s flagship learning management system, has been introducing schools to “anytime, anywhere learning” since 2004. These schools are appreciative of the headway they are experiencing with Genyo as an education partner.

Genyo e-Learning guides schools on how to transition to e-learning through three different aspects: content, systems, and training. 

Students gain access to ready-made content which includes curriculum-based resources in the five core subjects for Grades 1-10. With online tutorials, students can go about learning at their own pace.

Teachers, meanwhile, are able to instantly see their students’ progress and to monitor performance.

Diwa facilitates webinars and face-to-face training programs throughout the school year, enabling teachers, students, and parents to utilize Genyo e-Learning the best way they can. 

Even prior to the pandemic, Genyo schools have been smoothly implementing blended learning, where students’ learning experiences are a mix of face-to-face and online.

Jocelyn B. Barbosa, the junior high school assistant principal of Padre Vicente Garcia Memorial Academy, attests to the benefits of Genyo e-Learning as their chosen tool for blended learning. 

“Ready-made lessons and tutorials therein ease and augment my daily preparation for level-up teaching. These benefit not only me as the teacher but more so the students who, through my use of Genyo Lesson Bank for them and with them, we find learning fun and engaging,” she shares.

The Department of Education has earlier announced that classes will open on August 24 this year, and acknowledged that distance learning will be the new normal for some. DepEd is looking to provide schools with a guide on how to go about the Learning Continuity Plan. 

The Education department added that schools may choose the appropriate alternative learning delivery methods which will best fit the context and/or health situation in their community, understanding parents’ concern about the COVID-19 situation and its impact on their kids’ education. 

The Colegio de San Francisco Javier in Palompon, Leyte, for instance, currently encourages students to enroll, confident of the advantages the Genyo e-Learning will provide their students and teachers. The school also added that tuition for the coming school year will be lowered and adjusted accordingly.

Governments across the world have enacted varying sets of rules and restrictions to enable schools to open while combating the virus. 

Countries like the United Arab Emirates are preparing to implement e-learning until 2021 with different preparation plans in place. Community colleges in California, meanwhile, announced that classes will be done remotely with their faculty adapting and learning new skills for e-learning.
