Online education

Anu Books, 2022

The emergence of online education is a major contribution of the tech-savvy world that has widely played its role even before and after the pandemic. Most governments of the world have swiftly shut down the educational institutions to control the pandemic of covid-19. An incomprehensible number of states, regions and nations have closed their learning bases, with more than 91% of the world’s vast (UNESCO) neighborhood schools and universities closed. Many of the countries have implemented localized lockdowns which impacted millions of additional learners. UNESCO itself is supporting countries in their efforts to slow down the impact of institution closure particularly for more disadvantaged and vulnerable communities around the globe to facilitate the continuity of education for all through the remote learning. The World Bank is also actively functioning with the ministries of education in several countries to support their efforts to utilize various educational technologies to provide remote learning opportunities to the students during the educational institutions closure due to covid-19 pandemic. According to Dr. Howard Taylor (Executive Director, of Global Partnership to End Violence)- “The coronavirus pandemic has led to an unprecedented rise in online education in the present time.” According to UNICEF- ”Because of school closures and strict prevention measures more and more families will be relying on the technology and digital solutions to keep the children learning, entertained and connected to the outer world, but not all the children have the necessary knowledge, skills and resources to keep themselves safe with the online methods. In this situation of pandemic, learning can be moved to online and the knowledge can be transferred virtually using multimedia media tools. It’s not like that online education was not popular before but the pandemic situation made it almost necessary for every learner to shift to the online method due to the social circumstances which have aroused due to the pandemic thing.

Phase change materials (PCMs) are employed for the thermal energy storage owing to their high heat storage ability, narrow temperature difference between storage and retrieval of latent heat energy, and availability in a variety of phase change transition temperatures. Numerous research attempts have been made to develop a broad array of PCMs based on inorganic, organic and polymeric compounds for diverse area of applications. To improve the performance efficiency and proper handling of PCMs, they are often encapsulated or confined within a shape-stabilized supporting material of an inorganic or organic origin. This review emphasizes on the current research status of the polymer-based PCMs developed using the various PCMs-polymer combinations available, material characteristics, encapsulation, and shape-stabilization methods and provides detailed information on the contribution of polymers towards the enhancement of PCM end product properties, in the state of the art of thermal energy storage technology.
