SOME EXPERIENCES ON THE TRANSITION TO ONLINE LEARNING AND BLENDED LEARNING OF KIDSONLINE

When assessing the level of readiness of an online teaching and learning ecosystem, we see that it consists of four inter-dependent components: (1) teachers are ready for online teaching; (2) learners are ready for online learning; (3) materials and resources are ready for teaching and learning online; and (4) the Internet infrastructure and smart devices are available for teaching and learning online. This paper represents some experiences and contemplations of the Vietnamese education technology company KidsOnline on the transition to online learning and blended learning in Vietnamese kindergartens and schools, especially those catering to the needs of vulnerable groups of children (including children in remote areas, children from ethnic minorities, and children with disabilities and special learning needs) during the period of the Covid19-induced school closure, adapting to the post-Covid 19 new normal.
