COVID19 has profoundly impacted all facets of our lives, including the education industry. As India enters lockdown mode, technology stepped in eLearning Platforms to facilitate various needs, including our need for human interaction. In the area of education, this gave eLearning an accelerated boost that is supported by both the government and education institutes.
Remote learning and teaching courses via dedicated portals like SWAYAM has have seen a fivefold increase in a week just as Byju and Topper have seen a similar increase; these carve out a compelling narrative in the online educational sphere. However, EdTech as online learning is commonly known as, is not without unique set of challenges. Owning /renting devices (desktops, iPads/tablets, laptops etc.) is a high expense item and can be hard to come by as assessable or stable internet connectivity. One without the other renders eLearning ineffective.

This method of learning also favours higher learning given that the younger learner’s attention is shorter, and they thrive on one-on-one interactions. Motivating students virtually is not without challenges too. Ultimately, old school classroom settings are worth their weight in gold; and just as indispensable as experienced teachers in our education system.
The future of e learning is indeed bright, and together with educators, it can be surmised that a stable ecosystem will grow organically.
Why e-learning via Bigo Live is a win-win
In an industry that seems unlikely for a livestreaming eLearning Platforms app to be in, Bigo Live has made a significant impression in the Indian market.
Interactivity and Variety
Edu-Tech, Bigo Live’s industry first initiative introduced last year, has proven to be a much sought after online platform for both educators and learners alike. This unique initiative by Bigo Live has brought a new level of interactivity to elearning. Interactive videos, quizzes as well as real-time sessions with teachers proved to be popular. Add this to the more than 200 teachers hired to impart knowledge on topics like, basic English, Computer skills to life coaching, and yoga; it is no wonder that students flock to this platform.

Bigo Live runs on low latency when streaming, this means that there is lesser disruption to the feed, lesser data costs and consumption. This makes it possible for eLearning Platforms in Tier 2 and 3 cities to take advantage of the education platform. What better way to make use of time during lockdown than to improve yourself?
Personalised Learnings
Due to the real life interaction on Bigo Live, teachers are able to personalize the lesson to optimize the learning capability of the user. Constant communication and interaction between the faculty and learners enable effective engagement and feedback through live discussions. Online learning is also beneficial to teachers as it allows them to know more about each student or his or her learning patterns than they would in their classes. Special sessions addressing challenges and queries can be set up. Sudden cancellation of class is navigable.
