Connectivity and devices: ---------- Global solidarity: We quickly realized we were not because divides and inequalities became obvious. How did we get here? Innovative motivation factor of education: What has become most prominent is the notion of mobility at the heart of it all. We see many people moving out of cities and going home out of fear. This kind of mobility is also being used digitally. Mobile education has become prominent in low income countries. Informal education and lifelong education. What does it really mean to be educated in today's era? There is an emphases on lifelong education that can be responsive in terms of people.
