FREE online education resources


A non-exhaustive list that might help those affected by school closures due to coronavirus, compiled by home educators.
Feel free to share.

Khan Academy
https://www.khanacademy.org
Especially good for maths and computing for all ages but other subjects at Secondary level. Note this uses the U.S. grade system but it's mostly common material.

BBC Learning

This site is old and no longer updated and yet there's so much still available, from language learning to BBC Bitesize for revision. No TV licence required except for content on BBC iPlayer.

Futurelearn
https://www.futurelearn.com
Free to access 100s of courses, only pay to upgrade if you need a certificate in your name (own account from age 14+ but younger learners can use a parent account).

First Online Class : Exciting beginning...endless possibilities!!!



Schools and universities are closed across the UAE for four weeks as a preventive measure to limit possible transmission of coronavirus. Today we  began our Virtual classes to the high school students and it was a new experience for all teachers and students without any technical glitches. Students were seated in their home infront of the Tab & laptops. Teachers were at school and taught them using Google Classroom, Zoom, Quzizz, edpuzzle and other Apps . I think this will be a transition period in the educational sector in which virtual classes will be futuristic way of learning preferred by many students because of flexibility, timing, convenience and potential for collaboration, not only with peers in school but also students globally. Les us see how will be the impact of the same.
