Lockdown Learning Repository: Curated Resource App For Educational Organizations
An app catering to all schools and educators adapting to virtual learning.
With the sudden shift to virtual learning, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the educational world was and is grappling to adapt to the new way of educating and learning. Recently, a consortium of educational organizations came together to curate the scattered pool of information under one roof.
We're talking about the Lockdown Learning Repository, wherein educators can find resources that can help them adapt to virtual learning. “We have curated an all-encompassing open repository for all stakeholders in the education landscape,” says the team.
The team further shares, “This repository caters to all schools that are currently beginning their journey of virtual learning as well as schools that have built proficiency over the years. It provides relevant resources to teachers, students, school leaders, and parents for maximum learning, irrespective of the degree of access to technology or internet, rural-urban divide, or state-specific needs.”
We learned more about the repository with the team. Read below:
