Critical Links Supports Global e-Learning Initiatives during COVID-19 Crisis with Free Educational Resources via Distance Learning
Cloud-resident micro-cloud environment offers teachers, students, and parents curated learning alternatives to avoid interruptions in education during the crisis
Princeton, NJ, USA – April 13, 2020 – Critical Links, the leader in micro-cloud solutions for e-learning, today announced open availability of their award-winning e-learning micro-cloud platform, giving teachers and students no-charge access to a curated set of educational content and activities to enable them to continue the learning process during the COVID-19 crisis.
The internet-based instance of the micro-cloud platform will help students stay on track with a curated curriculum appropriate for K-12 age levels, even if they cannot attend school. Rich content, quizzes, e-books, simulations and learning games are available by accessing the site at www.schoolinabox.net (English) and www.aprendizajeenmicronube.com (Spanish). Content in both languages can be intuitively searched by subject or grade level, and activities can be selected and assigned by either teachers or parents. With this internet-based e-Learning environment, teachers and parents can create an at-home classroom environment with content, activities, and rich media.
“This is a difficult time for education around the world, as we are at risk of the learning process grinding to a halt,” stated Mario Franco, Chairperson of the Millennium@EDU SUSTAINABLE EDUCATION “This generous offer of technology and resources by Critical Links can be a key resource for educators and their students around the globe to ensure that we get through this crisis without suffering months of education setbacks.”
“At Critical Links, our commitment to driving sustainable global education. In this time, that means making resources available to governments and educators to help maintain quality of life, a semblance of normalcy, and to avoid interruptions in their students education,” stated Charles Foley, Chairman of the Board for Critical Links. “By putting multiple C3 instances in the public cloud that any student or teacher can reach, from anywhere in the world, they have world-class educational material available to keep the learning process alive.”
The Critical Links C3 Micro-Cloud is already in use in over 55 countries, by more than 5 million students. This no-charge, public-cloud-based offering will be available throughout the COVID-19 crisis to allow that level of learning environment to be accessed individually by students, teachers, and parents.
