Studying when a pandemic is disrupting every aspect of our lives can be a challenging task. Even as schools and colleges reopen, it might not feel the same as before for some time. But thanks to the internet and IoT devices for enabling us to study from home.
Of course, it can never be a substitute for studying in a college, especially those abroad which is a means of discovering a different culture, meeting new people, visiting various places, and being exposed to numerous opportunities abroad. What’s more, studying in an international environment contributes greatly to a student’s personal development as well as becoming more independent and getting out of their comfort zone. However, since that is not a viable option in these times, let us look at some other methods that can aid us in our learning process that can be carried into a time post-COVID-19. Ultimately you learn a skill and earn a certificate. So what is the harm!
