\nBeing in the now new normal, going back completely to the way we were does not encourage evolution nor transformation. We have explored so much, stretched our capabilities, challenged old norms, and persevered and persisted. We are moving forward. We take with us the learnings, technology, and innovation of the significant last 2 years and integrate them into an evolved version of an education continuity template, our shield, for the 21st century.

With schools getting ready to transition back to face-to-face classes, Rex Education reminds educators that there are many tools and best practices from their distance learning setup that can help them level up students\u2019 learning experiences inside and outside the classroom. Schoology is one useful and impactful tool.\nSchoology is one of the very first learning management systems (LMS) made available to teachers and students to continue their teaching and learning from home when schools were forced to close temporarily in 2020. Because of the demand for LMS during that period, REX expanded the reach of Schoology and the wealth of resources available on the platform. Thousands of teachers and students are now using Schoology as part of their online and distance teaching and learning modalities.
\n\u201cWhen we introduced Schoology to the Philippines in 2015, we had an idea in mind that the digital classroom is the classroom of the future. That\u2019s why when the pandemic broke out, we were ready. Schoology created an avenue for seamless learning, without compromising our learners, and playing to the advantage of our learners being digital natives. Today, the digital classroom is the classroom of the now normal.\u201d said Rex Education CEO, Don Timothy Buhain.

Returning to face-to-face classes does not mean leaving behind the best practices we have learned from online and distance learning. Schoology was originally designed to augment and enhance the traditional learning setup, not completely replace it, making it the perfect platform to provide 21st-century learning experiences needed to transition students in the now new normal.\nTechnology cannot be an add-on; it\u2019s a necessity. Flexible learning is not a privilege or an advantage; it\u2019s also a necessity. Certainly, future-proofing our classrooms, although it cannot be perfected, is a reality.
\nTo date, the transition is ongoing and many schools are in different stages in their choice of learning modalities that will fit their learners\u2019 needs. Some may still be designing or experimenting, and some others are already strengthening what they have. Having a trusted partner grounded in sustainability, flexibility, and technology is key in making the transition as smoothly and efficiently as possible. Backed by more than 70 years of expertise, Rex Education and with Schoology could be every school\u2019s ideal partner for the 21st-century classroom.
\nSchoology makes synchronization seamless. Since many schools have been employing a hybrid learning setup where students go to school in schedules or batches, using Schoology as the primary LMS for each class ensures that all students\u2014both on-site and off-site\u2014are on the same page.
\nIn addition, assessment is made easier with the automated test scoring and consolidation of results through Schoology\u2019s Grade Book. Analytics are readily available for teachers so they may adjust their materials based on the class performance, while parents are able to monitor their children’s progress throughout the quarter and the academic year.
\nMoreover, classroom management and communication are centralized in the platform. Students, teachers, and parents can also monitor the student workload through Workload Planning, and they can be reminded of deadlines using the platform\u2019s Calendar function.
\nSchoology can be accessed via browser on PC and laptops, or on mobile phones and tablets via the app. As an all-in-one learning platform, it comes packed with features like Personalized Courses, Calendar, Messages, Dropbox, Online Tests, Integrated Apps, Groups, and Grade Book.
\n\u201cOur partnership with Schoology is just one of REX\u2019s many efforts to fulfill our promise that we go where the learner goes. Our learners\u2019 needs and circumstances are always changing, always evolving; and it is our duty as Edukampyons to be on the cutting-edge of educational innovation so our products and services are always relevant to the 21st-century learner,\u201d revealed Buhain.
