The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our world rapidly and enduringly. People have to maintain an appropriate social distance while refraining from almost all everyday activities. Educators around the globe are striving to make education possible in this turbulent time. Blended learning and online learning have now become the axes of modern education. It is time for us to take this critical moment as an opportunity to re-examine our educational goals and rethink possible pedagogies. In light of this, it is necessary and urgent for educators, education researchers and related parties to keep pace with the new normal in education. The scholarly field has researched the effectiveness of implementing sustainable and accessible learning models with help from emerging technologies. Numerous institutions have started exploring how to make learning more visible when physical contact is to be avoided.
Below are some relevant and timely school examples, internet resources and scholarly contributions that raise issues, considerations, challenges as we are rethinking and re-envisioning ways to design, create, and research learning opportunities and teaching processes to meet the needs of all students.
