UNESCO has updated the information today on its official website that 56 countries have closed schools nationwide amid the COVID-19 outbreak, impacting over 516.6 million children and youth.
In order to ensure the educational activities can normally proceed, UNESCO advocates distance learning to combat the crisis and provides a list of educational applications and platforms for parents, teachers and schools.
And Edmodo has been recommended as one of the solutions, which was acquired by China-based NetDragon on April 8th 2018, providing communication, collaboration, and training tools like a global education network.
