In my home country, before the COVID-19 outbreak, computer-based learning is widely considered as an assistance to the traditional teaching method, i.e. teachers teaching students face-to-face in the classroom. Now, during the pandemic, computer-based learning has become an important method of studying, because it has enabled many to remain on the same page with their classmates even if they are under quarantine and cannot go to school.
