As per a recent survey done, schools and universities in about 191 countries have been shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The closure of educational institutions has had a direct impact on around 1.57 billion students. Most of the schools and colleges around the world have decided to avoid disruption in providing education to students by adopting distant learning.
To facilitate this approach of distance learning, Google has come up with a free web service called the Google Classroom. This web service has been developed to help schools in simplifying the process of creating, distributing, and grading the assignments done by children. Google Classroom will soon be upgraded to support ten regional languages which include Telugu, Bengali, Tamil, Marathi, and Urdu. In the days to come, Google Classroom aims to support more than 54 languages globally.
Google has also confirmed to introduce new options which will provide students with an upgraded classroom experience. The tech giant will be adding a to-do widget on the Classroom web page for students and a to-review widget concerning academics.
Additional tools will be rolled out for admins who intend to troubleshoot issues related to the Classroom. Admins can also use these tools to attain more knowledge around the usage of Google Classroom.
