As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, schools around the world were forced to pivot and deliver their education entirely online. Students in some countries return to class, education is not the same as it was. I’m seeing a blended model that combines in-class instruction with online components. Where schools once developed their curricula for face-to-face instruction using online resources for support, this hybrid model is based on group instruction or individual study online, with in-class time focused on a one-on-one or small-group support. I’ve seen several international institutions make tremendous progress towards hybrid and blended learning, but what does that mean for the publishers and technology companies that are reeling from the onslaught of recent changes and trying to find their place in a transformed tech landscape?
