2. Provide recommendation to helps teachers create lessons which suit the VARK Styles.
As per many situation arises in which education system fluctuates in different perspective
to not communicate with students (Harerimana and Mtshali, 2019). During COVID-19 situation
is one of recent drastic challenges raises in which it creates high barriers in business,

environment. Economical and others. People are getting unemployed as well as entire economy
faces high rate of recession, for this each and every business industry get affected. There is one
sector called Education, due to lock down happen student are not able to go school and attend the
classes for maintain social distance (Heron, 2019). Furthermore, it which teachers as well as
parents faces conflicts for having incomplete studies that creates more complex situation. After
all crises only technology came us blessing where it plays an important role in every sector.
There are many software as well as online social media application such as Whatsapp, Facebook
and others helps to communicate each other.
On other hand, Video conferencing is one of the innovation that evolution through from
advanced technology which upgrade and make easy to access work. In pandemic situation,
students and teacher are well communicate and presuming their classes as per the regulation

classes as well as it increases communication skills to enhance flexible way to execute within
effective manner. To recommended about this situation for teachers is to utilisation of Video
conferencing for attending classes and provide valuable notes shared through social media
messenger. This practises is called E-learning is procedure of learning through electronic sources
such as teaching through video calls and various other methods are used to provide E-learning
(Murillo-Zamorano, Sánchez and Godoy-Caballero, 2019). When whole world faces a challenge
of COVID19 education sector was suffering through a lot as it results in waste of one year from
children carrier.
The learning knowledge is getting improvised through lot of benefits where majority of
student are very much obsessed with technology. And this is becomes convenient for teacher to
handle student and taking care of their studies through systematic manner. Many advantages is
faces through E-learning as in international level United Kingdom is used to several ways that
provided into training that support to improvise their skills in effective manner. Therefore some
of recommendation is elaborates that video conferencing through Zoom call can helps to easily
communicate and attend classes with student in easier manner (Papanastasiou and et. al., 2019).
This can suit to VARK for improvise Visual, Auditory, read or write and Kinaesthetic factor as
student would get learn about new skills as well as experiences. Those skills and experiences will
provide further benefits within effective manner.
