Remote Learning in the Time of the COVID-19 Pandemic

During the COVID-19 pandemic, 90% of the world's student population is affected by school closures. Governments, development organizations, and private companies mitigate this through remote learning.

Coursera, one of the leading educational technology companies providing massive open online courses, shared its COVID-19 initiative. Panelists from Asian universities presented their experiences as well.

The webinar was jointly organized by ADB's Digital Technology for Development Unit and the Education Sector Group.
