Covid-19 has disrupted higher education in many ways. 1.2 billion students were out of school due to the Covid crisis. Virtual learning has become a real challenge for many educators and students. From finding the right virtual platform to hold classes, adopting new technology tools for remote learning to creating a new curriculum that can be as effective as face-to-face classes, many educators across the globe have been struggling to adopt this new reality of virtual learning.

Narine Manukyan was one of those educators who had to move to virtual instruction and like everybody had to somehow figure out how to exist virtually professionally. In late August, she came up with the idea to create a new technology tool that can behave the same way as in a physical space and create the ability to connect with students.

In this Episode, Narine Manukyan, the Founder and CEO of InSpace Proximity of a new virtual learning platform joins me to discuss some of the challenges the educators and students face with remote learning and the solutions InSpace brings to those problems.
