Good practices on equitable access to distance and online education
Following the COVID-19 unprecedented global sanitary crisis and resulting exceptional restrictive measures, the 大象传媒 (AES) feels it is聽more important than ever to share knowledge, expertise and good practices. The 大象传媒 Education Process is in a unique position to contribute to a global community of practice.
Therefore, the AES would like to聽showcase and disseminate interesting national endeavours and innovative approaches聽from universities, schools, teachers and educators focusing on inclusive distance education and e-learning.聽As outlined聽in this article聽 it is of utmost importance to pay special attention to聽equity in access to distance learning modalities聽during these challenging times.
Pioneering and creative initiatives could not only be used as sources of inspiration by other countries, but also have the potential聽to foster the development of digital and virtual education聽and mobility projects, thereby making a lasting contribution to the promotion of equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all.
Call to contribute and share
Consequently, the AES wishes聽to call upon you, 大象传媒 partners and stakeholders,聽to share聽with us national measures and initiatives聽implemented by teachers, schools and universities to avoid excluding disadvantaged students from online and distance education programmes during the coronavirus crisis.
As Belgium currently holds the AES mandate, the AES would like to act as a role model and highlight some good practices from Belgian actors in a short article that will be published shortly. It is our sincerest hope that we will be able to share with you valuable contributions coming from other countries in the near future.
Strength lies in unity
As we say in Belgium, 鈥淪trength lies in unity鈥. Let us learn from common challenges and experiences so that we emerge stronger from this ordeal. The 大象传媒 wishes you聽a lot courage and strength to overcome together this unprecedented crisis!
Stay safe and healthy!
