Blended learning also called as hybrid learning (flipped classroom, where study-home online materials is provided as a learning hook) is the savior for all of us and a win-win for government, admin students, and teachers.
For schools hybrid learning can be advantageous with a mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning for kids especially during crisis and pandemics. Platforms like Check My Universe, has k12 program and University programs that is a perfect for situations like crisis, evacuation, pandemic and long term closure of school. CMU-Check My Universe supports teaching and learning in a highly interactive social experience for teachers and students and admin/and parent access as well.
We are still not done with COVID 19 and the pattern of the frequency of viruses and pandemics unfortunately is not going away till a couple of years. SARS and other animal transmitted viruses mutate and stay around longer. Even scientists connect this crisis to humans exploiting the planet beyond what it has to offer. After COVID 19 if we have another viruses outbreak, we won’t be shocked because that’s what the numbers are saying.
2002-2003 SARS then 2009-2010 Swine Flu. then in 4 years time Ebola and then 2019-2020 ongoing COVID19 is still around and death toll is high, though number of deaths are getting to flat line gradually yet gone but virus is still around.
How do we survive such a crisis in education in k12 and higher education?
In schools, we may consider only 2-3 days of face to face instruction. Rest of the days be flipped classroom or blended-hybrid learning to keep the education going smoothly during such a world crisis. Such kind of short week school program has been adopted after pilot study in UK and many parts of the world. Thus, we may still provide the best of rigorous education and standards still being met, benchmark still can probably be achieved; just the way instruction and teaching-learning process happens may be altered into synchronous and asynchronous manner.
Why even have face to face instruction?
Face to face instruction surely establishes the relationship and enhances learners experience in academic setting. Additionally, the funds from Government keep flowing into public education for tuition free education to the masses. Nonetheless, the crisis can be easily resolved by closure of schools and still the remote learning occurring as per the set online learning and self-guided flipped classroom. It’s a win-win for students, schools, teachers and less burden on administrators and superintendents and deans-head of the department and major decision makers.
We have be prepared before we get into earth melting crisis and we have nothing to offer for our children that has consistency and smooth learning experience. Check My Universe, social media design is a revolutionary approach to make learning experience online just the way we do on any other social and professional social media platforms. Check My Universe is social media for education platform that is the best solution for COVID and beyond.

Dream Product: Social Media for Education™
Introduction
I am an educator and entrepreneur. I am blessed by a couple of certifications and a few degrees but my goal is to be a life-long learner. My purpose of life is to serve the community, the society at large. The one path that I chose is education-isn’t it a lethal combination to have a techy-business head and being an educator and a woman :). In short I want to do and offer more than I even I think I can. Remember money is not the first thing I choose, I choose service, respect and integrity over money, I choose spreading goodness and knowledge around in the most humble way possible.
