How Technology Can Help Us Fight the Coronavirus Epidemic

coronavirus fighting tech

The coronavirus is quite scary; there is no doubt about it. The pandemic has spread globally, and the infection and death tolls are on the rise.

It seems that every day, the situation is getting worse. But since countries have implemented the widespread quarantine, the story has turned another page. The spread of the virus has diminished significantly and seems to be slowing down by the day.

Staying home is the best cure for the virus, as we’re preventing the possibility of infection. Washing our hands after any outing or contact, not touching our faces, and following government regulations is essential.

But, even in these tough times when the economy is suffering, and countless people are dying from the coronavirus, some of us still have to go to school, do our jobs, and get proper training. 

Luckily, there is a rather simple solution. Online teaching, training, and working platforms have replaced lengthy commutes to work.

How Are People Adapting?

Some people aren’t too thrilled about working from home. People don’t like change, and getting accommodated to a new platform after years of using the old one isn’t as easy as people think.

Others, on the other hand, adore the new system in which they operate. Some jobs don’t require you to be in the office or on sight at all times. They can be done from the comfort of your home.

The reaction to the quarantined home workspace has been mixed, but it has done a crucial thing.

It has broadened the horizons of what can be done at home, cutting down on crowded offices and effectively slowing down the spread of the coronavirus.

The virus isn’t a joke. It spreads very quickly, and if you’ve coughed in your hand and touched virtually anything, you might be starting the spread yourself. That is why crowded spaces are almost banned at the current moment.

The virus is transmitted by contact. That is why people are opting to work from home, utilizing the services of one of the many communication platforms.

Communication Platforms

The communication platforms and mediums have experienced a boom in popularity since the coronavirus outbreak. People still need to talk to each other, but they can’t do it in person.

Platforms like Discord, Skype, Zoom, and others have experienced a sudden influx of members, conducting their meetings on these platforms. 

Communication through these platforms has shed light on the simplicity that they bring to the table.

You are no longer going to have to prepare for a meeting and manage to arrive on time due to clogged traffic, as the whole online meeting process is streamlined through the internet.

video conferencing

Now, online communication and conferences still have a long way to go before they’re close to the real thing, but in these tough times, they’ve proven themselves as a viable alternative.

Online Interviews

The coronavirus outbreak made a lot of people lose their job, as some positions have become obsolete in this critical time. These people have to seek out jobs during the pandemic. And, they’ve devised ways to do so through the internet.

While meeting in person is out of the question at the current moment, online meetings, assessments, and interviews are skyrocketing in popularity. 

Online interviews bring several advantages for both parties involved in the process. They include:

  • Easier scheduling
  • Easier participant preparation
  • More comfort for the participant
  • Interview recording option
  • Post-interview analysis & assessment 

Virtual Classroom Software

Education is just as important as the job market. That is where virtual classroom software comes into play.

Virtual classroom software is at the forefront of the coronavirus-optimized education system. Knowledge doesn’t have to suffer.

Books, articles, and documents have educated us on the go ever since their inception, but virtual classroom software has brought something completely new.

With the evolution of online communication software, it’s just a matter of time before online classrooms came into play. You’re now able to conduct a live class with your student from the comfort of your own home.

The increased bandwidth and internet allow a teacher to conduct a live video classroom, responding to students in real-time. Online virtual classroom software is the next step in the evolution of education.

It facilitates a fast exchange of information and greater collaboration. This completely modernizes how we learn.

Online classrooms also add a lot of conveniences, as virtual classroom software offers much more flexibility, comfort, and satisfaction as opposed to traditional classrooms.

Online Training Software

Education doesn’t stop at online classrooms. The education sector is expansive and includes specialized training for particular positions, jobs, and the acquisition of new skills, and that’s where online training software comes into play.

Online training software isn’t a new thing, and it requires virtually no introduction. Online courses, classes, and skill-based websites have been around for a while, but they’ve peaked during the coronavirus epidemic.

Online training software lets employers select what their interns and employees are learning. It enables educators and employees to monitor the amount of time spent learning, the results, and in-depth test analysis.

Every education and online training software is going to have some tests. While these might not be in paper form, they do offer countless benefits when compared to their more-traditional counterparts. They include:

  • Increased convenience
  • Automatic grading
  • Test score analysis
  • Real-time previewing
  • Performance analytics
  • Immediate results

Another benefit of online training software is the data visualization option. Most of these software solutions present student progress data in an organized way, such as scales, graphs, and charts. 

Also, one way that online training software operates is through the use of gamification. It makes online tests much more appealing to both employees and students, effectively increasing interactivity, engagement, and participation.

Technology is at the forefront of maintaining as much of our lives through the internet rather than in-person. While scientists, nurses, and doctors are battling the recent coronavirus epidemic, we’re adapting to a brand new way of learning, conversing, and working.

After the coronavirus epidemic passes, we’re going to be left with some valuable skills that we’ve garnered through the whole quarantine period. More interviews are going to be conducted online, alongside classrooms, training programs, and much more.

The future of all of these things is virtual, and the coronavirus epidemic is speeding up the inevitable technological revolution.
