Remote Learning: Education in the Cloud
summary
Global education shifts online at scale: 1.5 billion K–12 children home, under 25% of low‑income countries offering remote learning versus ~90% of high‑income countries online. Cloud migrations scale instantly—Firefly moves to AWS to handle surge, S3 claims 99.99% durability, and virtual classrooms built with Amazon Chime SDK and AppStream 2.0 go live in days. Examples: 35 million classes viewed by 2 million students in Jordan, 7.3 million page views with 574,000 concurrent users in Egypt, and 530,000 Indian students served.
