COVID-19 Online Education Trend And How It Would Evolve
~2.2 mins read
Education has moved online in a hurry amid that COVID-19 pandemic and stay-at-home orders, but what students experience today is just the beginning of the digital transformation.

We caught up with Leah Belsky, chief enterprise officer of Coursera, to talk about online education trends today and tomorrow. Here are some of the takeaways from our video chat.

The COVID-19 crisis spurred a surge in online learning.

Belsky said there have been a few e-learning themes to emerge during the pandemic. First, consumers have flocked to platforms like Coursera amid stay-at-home orders. There has also been a surge in upskilling on Coursera's platform for courses like machine learning and programming. And on the university side, Coursera has helped universities move to online education as campuses closed.

Is this online education's moment? Belsky said:

I definitely think this is the turning point. I wouldn't say that this is the moment. If you speak to many of the universities, and we brought together many of our universities a week ago in a global conference, they will say, what we're putting out now is crisis education. This is not true online education. This is whatever we could pull together in a few weeks. But I do think this crisis is going to profoundly change how universities educate people moving forward for a couple of reasons.

One, students are now scattered around the world and I think it's unlikely that they'll all come back to campus immediately. We've seen the predictions from the experts, and it sounds like we're going to see waves of this virus and waves of sheltering in place and then going about our daily lives. And from the university perspective, I think it's unlikely that many of the students who are now distributed around the world will all come together in the same place. And so universities are going to have to start designing their education, so that part of it is forever online.

The new normal may be more online or hybrid. 

Many universities already have digital infrastructure with learning management systems, video conferencing and courseware. The role of the professor in these hybrid environments will change. "Professors will take on a slightly different role, which is facilitating classrooms, facilitating discussions both in person and online, but using courses and lectures from other universities. That's kind of the world we're preparing for," said Belsky.
 
"I think the role of the professor is going to change, the amount of time students spend learning online is going to change, the way universities collaborate is going to change"

Education price points will change amid university deficits and pushback on tuition for in-person learning vs online. 

"I think online education if done right can be incredibly powerful. It may be that the price point is slightly different, and we at Coursera make a point of trying to lower the cost of the education that we're providing so that it can be more affordable," said Belsky. 

The future of online education. 

Belsky noted that today most e-learning efforts are trying to replicate current systems. But best practices and new technologies will emerge to revamp the online education experience and engage students better.

7 Ways Technology Have Made Our Lives Easier And More Secure
~3.0 mins read
Technology has improved our lives in countless ways. From communication to food, technology makes life easier. 
Let's take a look at how technology has improved our lives and made our information more secure.

Healthcare
One of the most significant ways that technology has changed our lives is evident in the healthcare industry. Technology enables researchers to develop medicines with the help of genome mapping and improvements in equipment. Wearable monitoring devices and apps have helped people track health goals, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Most people use a smartwatch or fitness tracker to count their steps, for instance, robotic and micro-surgical equipment  has also made it possible to do minimally invasive surgeries, enabling quicker recovery. Information is more readily available through search engines, and you can make more informed choices. Healthcare has seen so many benefits; its almost impossible to name everything.

GPS
Most of us can remember using road maps to navigate our trips. We transitioned to GPS devices that were always in the car when driving somewhere new. With the development of smartphones, we now have this easy technology at our fingertips. Its now much harder for you to get lost, and you probably hear fewer stories of people ending up in the wrong places. You can also use GPS to find shops and other points of interest.
GPS technology is used to track your car, making it difficult for criminals to steal it. You use it to locate your phone. Youll even see that GPS watches are used to locate children. You use GPS in your exercise program by using apps or watches to track what you have done or how far you run or cycle.

Work-Life
Many people have started working remotely or telecommuting. Without the abundance of communication methods available today, this would not have been possible. Life with technology has made it easier to send quick messages to your coworkers by using apps such as Whatsapp, FaceTime, and others. Zoom has enabled you to have virtual meetings with people in different cities or even countries. Youre also able to access your company server through easy technology.

Online Shopping
Less than a decade ago, people mistrusted online shopping. Payments were unsafe, and you were never sure if you were going to get what you paid for. The view of online shopping has changed immeasurably. It has even become the preferred manner of shopping, mostly due to secure online payments. You can buy almost anything online, even groceries.

Waste Reduction
This might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about technology, but technology has an impact on reducing waste through areas such as the development of biodegradable plastics. Besides the effect on production techniques, you can use the internet and social media to find used items. Searching listing sites for anything from textbooks to clothing to furniture means that you can reduce how much waste ends up in landfills.

Smart Homes
Smart technology makes life easier at home. Theres no limit to what you can control through smart devices. Switch lights on and off, get recipes online and play music. A smart home can help you control your appliances and get some chores done, even while youre not home.

Smart homes are evolving into smart cities, where digitization and the use of sensors can help track your consumption of resources. Smart cities will help people keep track of data regarding the use of water and electricity. In turn, the information will help you meet the goals you have set for being eco-friendly.

Information at Your Fingertips
If youre interested in something or looking for information, you no longer need to go down to the library or page through encyclopedias. All the information that you want is at your fingertips. Its a fantastic educational tool for all ages. You save time and energy if you are simply searching for information on the internet.

Conclusion
Theres no argument against it; technology has dramatically improved our lives. Technology has changed so much over the past decade and has profoundly impacted every aspect of our lives. Its exciting to think about how technology will change our lives in the future.

NIGERIAN PROFESSOR WINS $2.5M BILL GATES GRANTS
~1.3 mins read
The don seeks to research anaemia among pregnant women with her project titled Intravenous Versus Oral Iron for Iron Deficiency Anaemia in Pregnant Nigerian Women (IVON): a randomised controlled trial.

 

By Yusuf Akinpelu

A professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of Lagos, Bose Afolabi, has been awarded a $2.5 million research grant by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

 

The university said in a statement that as the principal investigator, Ms Afolabi will lead a multicentre study which will run the research for three years (November 1, 2020 to October 31, 2023).

 

The don seeks to research anaemia among pregnant women with her project titled Intravenous Versus Oral Iron for Iron Deficiency Anaemia in Pregnant Nigerian Women (IVON): a randomised controlled trial.

 

The study will be conducted in 10 hospitals within Lagos and Kano States and it will recruit a total of 1,056 women at 20-32 weeks gestational age, who are diagnosed as having anaemia at the antenatal clinics of the hospitals, UNILAG noted.

 

In addition to the international collaborations and partnerships which the study will facilitate between UNILAG and other universities in the US and Europe, it will also contribute to local human capacity development with the sponsorship of junior faculty for postgraduate training, the statement added.

 

Reputed for her research and lectures on sickle cell pregnancy, Ms Afolabi has an interest in maternal and fetal medicine, minimal access (laparoscopic) surgery and medical education.

 

She is a fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists UK, West African College of Surgeons, and the National Postgraduate Medical College of Nigeria, according to her biography reeled out by the University of Lagos in its statement.
