This sudden transformation has sparked a debate on whether virtual learning is actually beneficial for students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">Even before the pandemic, the usage of education technology was already quite high as major investments increased for its enhancements and development; they even reached more than US$18.66 billion in 2019. Research indicates that students understand and comprehend about\u00a0 25-60% more material when learning virtually compared to only 8-10% in an actual classroom. This is because students are able to learn faster as virtual learning allows a self-paced learning culture and a more flexible learning lifestyle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suggestions_for_the_Development_of_the_Virtual_Classroom\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><b>Suggestions for the Development of the Virtual Classroom<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Embrace technology<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E-learning has become an indispensable part of education nowadays as people have realized the importance of virtual learning in our lives.\u00a0 Because technology has found its way into every part of our lives, it is normal to play a big role in schools and universities as well. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E-learning platforms have now emerged to cater to schools and teachers all around the world.
