The COVID-19 pandemic has changed education in the e-learning direction more than ever

The COVID-19 has resulted that schools shut all across the world. Globally it is estimated that over 1.2 billion children are out of the classroom. As a result, it creates the highest ever rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms. The first correspondence courses began in the 1800s using parcel post to reach students who couldn’t be on a university campus. In the early 1900s, communication technologies improved, and distance education took to the radio waves. Then we can see experiments with television for educational purposes from the 1930s until the 1950s. More modern online learning is known in 1982 when the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute in La Jolla, California, opened its School of Management and Strategic Studies. The School employed computer conferencing to deliver a distance education program to business executives. Online education rise like never before with the Internet. As an example, in 2000, only 8% of students were enrolled in an online course, but by 2008 enrollment had increased to 20%. The expansion of online education has not slowed, as we can see; in 2013, nearly 30% of all postsecondary students were enrolled in some kind of distance education course. These areRead More...

Temperatures off the charts as Australia turns deep purple

Australia’s temperatures has become so intense that the temperatures are rising off the charts – literally. The Bureau of Meteorology’s interactive weather forecasting chart has added new colors – deep purple and pink – to extend its previous temperature range that had been capped at 50 degrees! The range now extends to 54 degrees – well above the all-time record temperature of 50.7 degrees reached on January 2, 1960 at Oodnadatta Airport in South Australia – and, “perhaps worrying”, the forecast outlook is starting to deploy the new colors.

Global Warming Video: Temperature Data 1880-2011

Global temperatures have warmed significantly since 1880, the beginning of what scientists call the “modern record”. At this time, the coverage provided by weather stations allowed for essentially global temperature data. As greenhouse gas emissions from energy production, industry and vehicles have increased, temperatures have climbed, most notably since the late 1970s. In this animation of temperature data from 1880-2011, reds indicate temperatures higher than the average during a baseline period of 1951-1980, while blues indicate lower temperatures than the baseline average.
