The current situation of the “new normal” has seen accelerated evolution on the digital front. Just think that in order to stay virtually close to our loved ones, we used video calls, to stay in shape we started online fitness classes, or singing, or music; while students started distance learning through online school lessons and those who usually work in the office started doing smartworking.

School, in general, was not equipped to use digital devices extensively, teachers and students did not have tools to continue normal distance learning activities and each had to face the emergency as best as they could.

How? Most teachers became familiar with computers and common sharing tools to start the new cycle of online lessons, overturning their classic teaching habits. Students discovered and started using digital devices in a new way: not only for entertainment, in their free time, but also for “learning”.

In other words, this experience has favored and accelerated digital transformation. Everything that had long been debated before the pandemic, pondering how to transform traditional teaching to adapt it to new generations, has become reality in a few months, overcoming what seemed insurmountable obstacles. But it is true that we are only at the beginning of a new cycle, certainly very stimulating.

Education and the virtual classroom will give rise to teaching scenarios capable of overcoming the physical barrier of the traditional classroom. The student will be the protagonist of a revolutionary learning experience: they will be able to attend lessons held by teachers located in remote locations and use technologies such as augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D cameras that will ensure interactivity and enhance the effectiveness of the lesson through the creation or conversion of digital content. Just imagine for a moment being able to experience our history lesson as if we were using a time machine, navigating through different eras, from the French Revolution to the Industrial Revolution, from Ancient Egypt to Ancient Greece, living a unique experience, as if we were really there.

In this way, the student's curiosity will be stimulated, acquiring greater interest in all subjects. For each of them, it will be possible to access many more documents and contents than is currently possible; with the use of Artificial Intelligence, a personalized study path calibrated to the student's actual abilities can be created.

This is how technology transforms the screen of a laptop into a classroom, where students and teachers can see each other and interact, in a truly collaborative online learning. Dell Technologies has a long history of providing solutions that are ready for the future, flexible and competitive and has long brought this approach to the school environment.
