The article is published on January 13, 2022, and written by Nina Bergdahl, Research associate, Department of Computer and Systems Sciences, Stockholm University, and Melissa Bond, Lecturer, Education Futures, University of South Australia.

They write:
“During the pandemic, many schools had to make greater use of learning management systems and apps, in order to improve communication between school and home. It might seem obvious, but having to work remotely has encouraged teachers and students to revisit and enhance their digital skills. This has stimulated innovation and creative thinking, and prompted students to develop skills in using multiple digital tools and resources effectively for learning, such as those reported in a US study.”
