The Coronavirus has brought forth the Dawn of the Age of Digital Learning — a time for builders to create the platforms, tools, and technology to propel society forward.
As of now universities still have to adjust their plans almost weekly and at the same time build the capability to provide a robust remote offering for the longer term. With Google leading over 1 billion active users on mobile learning, and edX recently entering the MOOC business, online education offering is a must.
