DIGITALLY COMING TOGETHER OVER EDUCATION'S OLD, NEW, AND FUTURE CHALLENGES
THROUGH COVID-19 AND BEYOND
introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic surfaced many challenges in the education sector that did not exist before. It has also presented an opportunity to address these challenges together as digital citizens connected to a global community of people who are working towards the same goal: ensuring children are healthy and learning, no matter the circumstances.
Currently, there are over 100 members of the Collaborators On Air platform from all corners of the world - including (but not limited to) Liberia, Sierra Leone, Botswana, Uganda, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Pakistan, India, Cambodia, the UK, the US, and beyond. Using a Slack workspace, Collaborators are sharing educational content, implementation strategies and motivational support to ensure that all learners are reached and supported globally.
