\n<\/b>As schools cross the one-year mark since the rapid shift to virtual
\nclassrooms, a new study commissioned by Lenovo<\/a> and Microsoft has found that both
\nstudents and educators see enormous potential in online learning, but are just
\nbeginning to enjoy its advantages. The biggest barriers to success in online
\nlearning have not been a lack of technology access, but low use of available
\nsolutions and social challenges stemming from extended periods of remote
\nlearning.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nacross 12 markets in Asia Pacific during
\nMay 2021, the study examined nearly 3,400 students,
\nparents and educators to understand their assessment of e-learning since the
\npandemic began, including 218 students in Hong Kong, and explored how
\ntechnology can further engage students and support learning. <\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nthe better part of 2020, educators, parents and students alike have grappled
\nwith new learning technologies. This study has helped us better understand how
\neducators, parents and students have adapted to online learning during the
\npandemic, what the real challenges are, and what solutions can be deployed to
\nhelp make learning technologies more effective,” said Fan Ho, General Manager, Hong Kong and Macau, Lenovo.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\ntechnology has become a much needed lifeline in enabling teaching and learning between
\nstudents and educators today. Despite the challenges faced over the last year, we
\nadmire the resilience and adaptability students and educators have had as
\nclassrooms shifted from traditional set-ups to virtual environments. As we move
\nforward, it is clear innovation will continue to transform learning experiences
\n\u2013 and we remain committed in supporting the industry with the right tools and
\nsolutions so that they are equipped for the new age of education,” said Larry
\nNelson, Regional General Manager, Education, Microsoft Asia.<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nin education became the norm during the past year \u2013 with mixed results<\/b><\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
\nstudents and 95% of educators increased their use of technology during the past
\nyear, while 68% of students and 85% of educators spent more money on technology
\nduring the past year than they had in the previous year. This trend will
\ncontinue, with 66% of students and 86% of educators expecting to further increase
\ntheir spending on learning technology in the coming year.<\/p>\n

\nopinions on the impact of online classes on educational performance. Educators
\nwere relatively positive about their teaching performance online, with 59%
\nconfident that teaching performance had improved, and 24% believing it had been
\nmaintained. However, students’ assessment was mixed: around a third of students
\nbelieved their performance had improved, another third believed it had stayed
\nthe same during the period of online learning, and the remaining third believed
\ntheir learning performance had declined. <\/p>\n

\ncommute. <\/p>\n

\njust 38% of students used video conference apps such as Microsoft Teams, only

\nfor help than they were to go to school tech support staff (15%). Similarly, 47%
