E-learning or electronic learning is the delivery of education and training through digital resources.
While it s not a brand new method, its inclusion across various sectors has been hugely accelerated due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
At Dubai s GEMS International School, most of the children returned to classes at the start of the new term, but the institution is actually delivering a mix of distance and in-person teaching.
Mike Kraher, the school s Head of Mathematics, says it was a learning curve - including for him, personally: I faced social challenges, to be honest. I missed my students. I missed teaching, I missed the classrooms.
