ԵՌԱԳՈՅՆ. The Armenian Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport has launched a distance education platform – heravar.armedu.am to organize the educational process online as public schools remain closed in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
The platform has been developed at the National Center for Educational Technologies and is now available.
At a meeting with representatives of educational institutions and platforms with experience in distance education, Deputy Minister of Education and Science Janna Andreasyan said “it is necessary to plan the educational process by combining the available alternatives and opportunities.”
“We have a wealth of online resources and tools for organizing distance education. There are schools with successful experience in the field of distance education, which we have asked to share their experience. We are trying to unite the potential available in the field to make distance education effective, open and accessible to all,” she said.
