Even though the epidemic(流行病) continues to keep you at home, you still have to study. Luckily, online learning resources and platforms (平台) are here to help. Let's see how you can better learn from home.
Kids all over the country are studying online now.
The novel coronavirus might have stopped Chinese students from going back to school. But it hasn't stopped them from learning. Many of them are now studying at home.
Most schools across China started their new semester (学期) online on Feb 17. They have moved offline (线下的) classes online. Students can have classes at home through livestreaming (直播) and recorded broadcasts (录播).
Besides school courses, students can also find many free resources (资源) online to learn by themselves at home.
On Feb 17, the Ministry of Education (MOE) made a national cloud learning platform for primary and secondary schools. The cloud platform covers all major(主要的) subjects, so 180 million students can keep learning even with schools closed. In some countryside areas, students might not have the Internet. But they can learn through their own educational TV channel (频道), according to Xinhua.
Online education companies have also offered help. Yang Zhengda is the founder (创始人) of online education startup (初创公司) vipJr. He said that the company's recorded classes are all available for free online. The company has also helped several schools build a platform called Air Classroom. It can give students learning resources and question-answering services.
Epidemic prevention and control efforts are also part of the online classes. According to the MOE's guideline (指导意见), students should learn about the novel coronavirus, as well as how to protect themselves and tell rumors (谣言) apart from facts. They can also get mental health advice online.
