Learning Online With Pearl Academy in 2020

If there is any positivity to derive from the breakout of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe, it is that we now have to force ourselves to adapt and improvise in completely unforeseen conditions. It is quite clear that digital technology is a clear winner - with multiple entities across diverse industries looking at digital platforms to help keep order in place. With the shut down on retail stores, e-commerce is thriving, while similarly, corporates across the nation have had to adapt to work from home situations. This has lead to the increased usage of communication platforms such as Zoom and Google Meet to streamline internal discussions.

The world of education has seemed to be making sizeable strides into the digital realm as well. Remote learning is a concept which was just in its inception phase but is now being widely implemented across the country to keep education service offerings intact. Pearl Academy, an established institute offering education in the realms of fashion, design, business and media, is placing emphasis on modern and relevant topics - ones which are hot trends in the industry or ones which will be so in the coming years.

Pearl Academy has also extended and revamped their education structure amid COVID-19 - staying true to its notions of modern, disruptive and innovation-driven education. Pearl Academy is one of the few educational institutions that has always deployed new-age methods and digital tools as a part of their regular curriculum. This is what allows Pearl to sail through these challenging times without compromising with the quality of education that they provide to their students.

At Pearl Academy, students have always been learning through a highly advanced Learning Management System. 20% of the overall curriculum had always been digital and taught online. Now, this has been scaled up to 100%. Driven by the initiative #LearningNewReality - the institute has shifted to a remote-learning model where students have access to over 1300 weekly online classes and additional upskilling classes to complete their syllabus on eminent platforms such as Zoom and Blackboard. Along with this, Pearl Academy has also announced that more than 3900 online courses are being offered to students to broaden their horizons in collaboration with leading online learning platforms such as Coursera and Business of Fashion. Live webinars are also regularly being conducted on Blackboard, letting students interact with their teachers on a daily basis. International labs and masterclasses are also organised with faculty from institutes like Manchester Metropolitan University and with industry stalwarts like Amit Aggarwal, Gunjan Gupta, and Ashish Vidyarthi.



Along with offering support to the existing students, Pearl Academy has extended digital offerings to aspiring candidates as well. The annual entrance examination which takes place each admission cycle will be held online this year - in order to ensure there is no delay in the fresh academic year. Along with this, the candidates also had the chance to interact with leading faculty and experts from the campuses through the virtual online counselling sessions - Aagman 2020. These interactive online counselling sessions are designed to enlighten students and parents about the different types of courses available at Pearl Academy, along with a host of other factors such as facilities, campus life, and teaching methods. The Pearl Academy mobile app has also been launched to offer similar information on a mobile device.

Just like nearly every other organization, is it critical for educational entities to embrace the digital world we are going to live in. Adapting to an unforeseen emergency crisis may seem daunting at first - but the ones who do manage to survive will come out much stronger in the long run. The shift towards digital remote learning has been gradual over the past few years, but may just become an achievable target as displayed by Pearl Academy. The admissions are open and on-going.
