The coronavirus pandemic appeared as the worst global health disaster of the century. Since the advent of the Second world war-2, humankind has experienced the most challenging health emergencies. The novel respiratory disease (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan at the end of December 2019.
The study focuses on providing education through the educational system with a mode of delivery using digital solutions with a new paradigm method.
This research incorporates the statistical data related to the Pakistani Ministry of Health's coronavirus epidemic to draw the results.
WHO reported more than 51.949 million confirmed COVID-19 patients in more than 200 territories and countries. This epidemic caused more than 1.282 million deaths; however, more than 36.49 million people have recovered from the infection of the deadly disease COVID-19, as of November 11, 2020. The COVID-19 has put forward unique challenges in personal and social life spheres. The precautionary measures, including social distancing, called for abrupt closure of educational institutions, leaving the digital solutions as the primary mean of continuity in educational activities.
The current review looks into the dynamics of embracing the change in the educational system, ranging from delivery mode to shifting to a new paradigm moving to digital solutions. This study looks into the challenges, issues, barriers, and success parameters of Pakistan's online learning management system. From the preparedness phase to the actual implementation of the learning system at higher education, the level is noteworthy. The private sector has provided higher, secondary, and primary levels; the private sector came forward to maintain learning continuity. The review suggests a way forward ahead for the educational system's continuity and sustainability in the coronavirus pandemic and educational institutions' crises.

The aim of this research was to determine the degree of availability of e-learning integration requirements in universities from the point of view of students (material, technical, administrative, ...financial, and safety requirements) and their relation to some variables. The researchers followed the descriptive analytical approach, The results of the questionnaire containing (5) axes and contain (70) paragraphs showing the degree of approval (large, medium, low). The values (3, 2, 1) were based on a random sample of (149) Students from universities, and the researchers used the statistical package program for social Sciences (SPSS) to conduct the statistical analysis needed for research. • The research showed several results, the most important of which are: 1. The degree of availability of e-learning integration requirements in universities from the students' point of view was relatively high (64.017%), which is a medium degree. 2. Ordering the requirements for integrating e-learning in universities from the perspective of students came down as follows: Physical, technical, administrative financial and safety, requirements. 3. There are no statistically significant differences at the level of (α≤0.05) in the degree of availability of the requirements of integrating e-learning in universities from the point of view of students attributed to the gender variable (male, female) and the variable of college (scientific, literary). In light of the results of the research, the researchers recommended the importance of the availability of e-learning integration requirements in universities, especially the administrative and financial requirements, the dissemination of e-learning culture in Arab educational institutions, the investment of (ICT) innovations and the improvement and development of educational learning in the Arab world.
The article presents the author's approach to building adaptive e-learning courses, an example of the Moodle distance learning system. The introduction of adaptive e-learning courses into the ...educational process improves the quality of the educational process. The main advantage is the individualization of the educational process for each student. In addition, students' independent work will acquire a directional character with minimal teacher involvement. The developed course allows for statistical processing of learning outcomes and tracking the dynamics students' performance as they study the discipline.
The neglect of physical activity in the education of high-school students (14 – 19 years old) during the COVID-19 pandemic could lead to serious consequences for their physical development and put ...their health at risk. In order to mitigate the problem with inactivity many countries all over the world use different approaches to sports classes. In cases where attendance is not possible, it is necessary to provide distance learning with maximum efficiency. The aim of the study was to examine the opinion of high-school students on the influence of COVID-19 on their physical activity and to optimize the learning process in physical education and sports under the conditions of distance learning in an electronic environment (DLEE). The study was carried out with 43 respondents who met the criteria of the target group. The survey was administered in two phases. Two questionnaires were completed by the participating students. The analysis of the results shows that in Bulgaria the pandemic does not have a negative influence on the physical activity of high-school students. We assume that the main reasons for this observation are the more liberal measures and the availability of options to use different sports facilities. In perspective, it would be useful to identify contemporary and innovative methods for improvement and monitoring of the activity of high-school students under the conditions of DLEE.
In this engaging volume, Jon Dron views education, learning, and teaching through a technological lens that focuses on the parts we play in technologies, from language and pedagogies to computers and ...regulations. He proposes a new theory of education whereby individuals are not just users but co-participants in technologies—technologies that are intrinsic parts of our cognition, of which we form intrinsic parts, through which we are entangled with one another and the world around us. Dron reframes popular families of educational theory (objectivist, subjectivist, and complexivist) and explains a variety of educational phenomena, including the failure of learning style theories, the nature of literacies, systemic weaknesses in learning management systems, the prevalence of cheating in educational institutions, and the fundamental differences between online and in-person learning. Ultimately, How Education Works articulates how practitioners in education can usefully understand technology, education, and their relationship to improve teaching practice.
