There’s no denying the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the education sector. With isolation measures and quarantine procedures forcing many schools to close down to keep everyone safe from this deadly virus, educational facilities have begun making the transition to e-learning software and online platforms.
But how exactly does embracing e-learning software benefit both educators and students in these trying times? In this article, we will talk about not only how advantageous this new e-learning software approach can be, but also how essential it is during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Elearning software reduces the risk of contracting the virus.
Safety is the primary reason why many schools and universities have been forced to shut their doors. When you get right down to it, the health of staff and students should always be prioritized above all else.
Fortunately, through utilizing digital tools like e-learning software, school operations can go on unimpeded. These tech platforms present us with the opportunity to continue learning, even from home. This won’t just save us time and money, but will also help stop the spread of coronavirus.

Elearning software allows us to learn at our own pace.
When it comes to education, it’s not uncommon for some students to have a more difficult time keeping up with the lessons than others. After all, not everyone learns at the same pace. And while this may be an unavoidable reality in a more traditional school setting, it becomes a nonexistent issue with e-learning. Online lessons can usually be repeated, which ultimately leads to more consistent learning and better retention.
Just as e-learning accommodates those who are unable to learn at the same speed as the rest of the class, it can also provide a more advanced pace than a traditional environment. Students who assimilate information more quickly will no longer need to wait for the rest of the class before proceeding to the next lesson. This enables students to wrap up lessons, rather than waiting for other learners to catch up.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the way we do things, and the educational system is no exception. So, it comes as no surprise that schools are adopting new techniques and strategies, as well as making use of tools such as e-learning software to cope with the outbreak.

ReadyTech provides the “In Person vs. Online Training Savings Calculator” (hereby referred to as the “Calculator”) as a free service to help customers analyze potential cost savings when purchasing virtual training software. By using the calculator, you agree to this Disclaimer. This Calculator is only intended for use in the United States and Europe. The Calculator only provides estimates. Such estimates are not a guarantee of savings and a number of other factors may affect your actual savings, and your actual savings may differ. ReadyTech provides the Calculator “As Is” and with all the faults, and hereby disclaims all warranties and conditions. In no event shall ReadyTech be liable for any damages arising out of or in any way related to the use of or inability to use the Calculator. You hereby release ReadyTech from any and all liability arising from or related to the Calculator, its use and/or its estimates.
Creating content in STEP is easy. Import existing material or develop new ideas from scratch. In either case, take advantage of STEP’s rich-content elements. Once you’re finished, preview your content to see how it will appear once it’s published.
All training solutions are compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer and Opera, enabling you to offer seamless training anywhere in the world.
ReadyTech’s solutions use the latest HTML5 technology and does not require any plug-ins or software downloads to be installed on the user’s local machine.
For instructors and students, dozens of training-specific features like Thumbnail View, Support Portal, Audio, Whiteboard and Inactivity Monitor are available to ensure the most effective and productive training environments.
Training classes can be offered on a flexible set of infrastructure and hosting options. Use ReadyTech Raw Hardware for maximum performance, ReadyTech Cloud Services for reliable courses anywhere, or host your proprietary equipment with the help of Custom Hardware Services.
ReadyTech’s SaaS Hosting Service enables SaaS products to be delivered as a training environment. With this hosting option, instructors can see what students are doing in their SaaS lab exercises, take over the student’s browser, and oversee an entire class of SaaS students from a single screen.
Anyone who has tried to set up their own hosting solution will tell you there is nothing more important than connectivity. A user who can’t connect to their virtual training lab environment is simply not going to have a good training experience. Companies often underestimate the complex variety of firewalls, proxies, anti-virus, and pop-up blocking software that connection software must contend with. Our connection software has a proven track record of getting students connected no matter what their network configuration is.
ReadyTech has multiple data centers strategically located in the United States, Europe and Asia with 24/7/365 monitoring. As we’ve learned from operating the leading training delivery platform since 1993, training departments care about the availability and performance of their online classes and want classes quickly distributed with expectations of low latency and fault tolerance. Prior to each class, we identify where instructors and students are located and deploy hardware or cloud resources at the optimal data center for fast, reliable training delivery.
If you think your hardware is too custom or complex to use a virtual training lab vendor, think again. As a technology company, we love custom hardware challenges. Whether you are training on a proprietary network or security equipment, BIOS-level programming, or some abstract wireless equipment, we promise we can host your virtual training labs and provide a solution you will love. You can put your equipment in one of our data centers or we can connect to it in your data center and get started immediately.
ReadyTech is one of the few virtual training lab providers that can take your proprietary hardware and host it in our data center as part of the lab setup. To read about a custom lab solution we host for one customer, read our case study on Johnson Controls.
We love the cloud but the truth is when it comes to pure performance, nothing beats hardware and we are one of the only companies that supports both. With hardware labs, there is no virtualization layer between your application and the physical server. Each student gets their own physical server so there is no sharing, which happens within the cloud. Besides performance, there are many other reasons customers choose to use hardware over a cloud-based solution. For example, some customers need systems with real graphics cards or access to real-time processing that isn’t available in the cloud. Some customers need each student to have hypervisor access to a system.
All clouds are not equal. Our cloud is designed specifically for hosting virtual training labs. We provide a perfect balance between performance and price to meet the needs of most training organizations. Our cloud was designed from the ground up to provide the ideal solution for a global training organization. From our data centers in the US, Asia, and Europe, we provide excellent worldwide performance. Our proprietary desktop viewer technology outperforms all the generic viewers other companies use. This allows you to provide your students with a fast, stable environment they will love.
ReadyTech provides the best lab options for your training. We have solutions for almost every conceivable lab setup and configuration. Whether you require a complex setup that involves proprietary hardware, are a SaaS vendor who doesn’t require a 3rd party hosted lab, or anything in between, we can do it.
We help you reach a global market by providing our solutions in 14 languages including: Chinese, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. By offering classes to international students, you dramatically increase the size of your potential market.
Instructors can send surveys, tasks, exams and polls to students anytime. For example: send a survey before class to discover your students’ learning objectives, or send an exam after class to reinforce training concepts and create a sense of value in the course.
