Working online has never been as easy as before. 2020 is sure a year to remember, but it has taught us a few lessons too.
Before beginning about remote learning, “The world is moving into a new direction and I think Remote work is the new big thing that’s gonna happen”.
Remote Learning in simpler terms, if an Instructor and a student cannot meet due to time and distance and hence use traditional methods online to learn and increase knowledge.
Remote Work on the other hand is about working away from the workplace in their house or different comfort place due to certain reasons.
Pandemic has hit every part of the world and is forcing people to work remotely or to learn remotely because social distancing is the key to defeat the virus as per WHO guidelines.
The pandemic has moved the non-tech people who are literally googling (searching on Google or other search engines) down methods to find a solution for doing their work from home,
While students are finding it difficult to learn online and are facing network and software issues and are confused about where to go and complete their work and study.
YouTube is a subordinate of Google if you didn’t know that, We all know google is the best option out there and the entire population of our planet relies upon and trust them and we can find anything on youtube if we just spend some time researching them. It is the most trusted source and if we talk about learning there are thousands and millions of content of any topic out there. It is my number one pick for the day.
Udemy is an online learning platform that offers various courses on everything from web development to personal development. Want to learn how to play music? Udemy has dozens of courses to help. How to Start Your Own Business? Yeah, they got it, too.
