Leveraging Technology for Virtual Class and Learning during COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Online or virtual learning is a prominent educational method that takes place over the Internet as a form of distance education. Distance education has become substantially popular as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Virtual learning can play a key role in an emergency period like the COVID-19 pandemic because most of the learners have access to information and communication technologies (ICT). So, leveraging technology in education can be a potential solution in learning. This study intends to examine how digital technology can be integrated effectively for better learning and education during the COVID-19 pandemic. A systematic literature review was performed using the Scopus database from 2001 to 2020. According to inclusion criteria, 26 studies were selected for qualitative analysis. In particular, four forms of technology-oriented learning systems have been revealed: electronic (e-learning), mobile (m-learning), interactive (i-learning), and ubiquitous learning (u-learning). The introduction of technology into the teaching-learning process can be an important way of developing improved learning and educational outcomes for learners and educators. In this paper, the learning models provided have the ability to exploit the associated technologies to ensure the feedback and delivery of the learning approach. The research will provide educators, teachers, policymakers, and curriculum creators with a new lens to design a better learning strategy for the learner.
