Handbook on Facilitating Flexible Learning During Educational Disruption: The Chinese Experience in Maintaining Undisrupted Learning in COVID-19 Outbreak

As COVID-19 continues spreading in many countries of the world, how to keep learning in disruption has become a major challenge to the global education community. Specifically in China, to contain the COVID-19, the Chinese government has banned most-face-to-face activities, including teaching. Chinese Ministry of Education, on the other hand, has launched an initiative entitled “Disrupted classes, undisrupted learning” to provide flexible online learning to over 270 million students from their homes. Therefore, this handbook aims to define the term “flexible learning” to readers. It then describes several implemented flexible online learning strategies during the COVID-19 outbreak. These stories are presented based on six dimensions, namely (a) infrastructure, (b) learning tools, (c) learning resources, (d) teaching and learning methods, (e) services for teachers and students, and (f) cooperation between enterprise, government, and schools.
