Within 72 hours of the lockdown announcement, Lighthouse Learning was able to transform to a fully tech-enabled work from home culture using various tools that were already in use for over a year for all internal engagements. “Within a week of the lockdown, we deployed Ed-technology tools that helped us to migrate to remote work including offering our students uninterrupted learning” informs Prajodh Rajan, Group CEO, Lighthouse Learning (formerly EuroKids International). The training for teachers, comprised of how to deal with technology for teaching, the assessment process and also on how to conduct classes online with tech tools. They then went on to taking virtual classes with the proprietary LMS tools, Argus and Billabox that have helped them in ensuring learning continues for the students. “What really helped us is the efforts we have taken in adopting technology to assist our growing business network since 2016, and it really came in handy when making the switch to a COVID-19 hit scenario. All we had to do was to reinforce our apps and platforms for heavier usage by our students, parents and partners,” says Rajan affirmatively.
