The Covid-19 pandemic outbreak requires everyone to #stayhome for an undetermined amount of time. Children who are still in school experience problems, since they have no teacher to accompany their studying process. But fret not, online learning can be a positive activity to fill free time at home during this pandemic. Online learning sites make it easy for us to learn anything, anywhere, with only a smartphone and an internet connection.

CK-12
CK-12 was established in 2007 by Neeru Khosla and Murugan Pal as a not-for-profit educational organization. Teacher-generated content was made available under Creative Commons licenses so as to make it simpler, easier, and more affordable for children to access educational resources. To make the subjects more digestible for children, the materials offered are bite-sized with as small, individual elements, rather than as large textbooks. They also use a variety of formats such as textual descriptions, video lectures, multi-media simulations, photo galleries, practical experiments, or flashcards.
