Know the market – what learntech is currently available, and how effective is it?

Education is currently facing a challenge like never before. To slow the spread of COVID-19, schools and universities in 188 countries have been closed, impacting almost 90% of the world’s student population.

As classes move online, it has become essential that schools have effective learning technology, in order to continue teaching young people at home.

The LEA Network ‘Procuring Resilient Education Technology’ series will bring five webinars to you this April – June, exploring the basics of how procurement can learn from this current crisis, and procure effective learntech now and in future. 

In Webinar 2, teachers from Viladecans in Spain will open the discussion by sharing their experience of teaching during the COVID-19 crisis, and how learning technology has helped. Following this, educational technologist Jari Laru will provide a wider view of technologies currently available on the market, and to what extent they address the needs of teachers.

The following will be discussed:

  • Which learning technologies have Viladecans used in the COVID-19 Crisis?
  • What kind of future technologies would they put into their 'needs/wishlist' now after this experience of teaching online?
  • What is currently on the market and what are some of those best practices on how to use LT right now.
