Emergency education refers to education for populations affected by emergency situations (Sinclair, 2001; UNESCO, 2017). These situations could be man-made or natural disasters that disrupt radically the usual conditions of life, care, and education facilities for children, causing an inability to attain the right to education (Rights of The Child to Education in Emergencies, 2008). Education in emergencies started around the 1990s as one of the elements of humanitarian responses to emergencies (Burde et al., 2017), but it was not till the 2000s that education was separated from developmental activities in humanitarian responses to emergencies due to the efforts of a group of educators (Burde et al., 2011). and now it is regarded as one of the pillars of humanitarian actions in emergencies. This is due to the fact that it is reported that education is usually neglected during the early response to emergencies (Muñoz, 2010), and during which many rights to education violations occur (Nicolai et al., 2015).
The special case of education in times of emergencies arises from the challenges that face the learning process in these situations. Being in the center of a conflict zone or facing a devastating natural disaster could lead to an impairment of students’ learning abilities (Tauson, & Stannard, 2018). It has been reported that trauma impacts the cognitive and executive functions of the brain which in its turn hinders learning abilities (Tauson, 2016; Mougrabi-Large, & Zhou , 2020). In the case of national health emergencies, trauma could cause anxiety and stress for children and adults (NCTSN, n.d). Hence, special care needs to be given to education in times of emergencies. Education could provide a safe space for students during a crisis (Nicolai, 2015), giving the much needed psychosocial support for development, as well as, hope, stability, and a sense of security (UNSECO, 2017). But more importantly, especially during Covid-19 penadamic, is that maintaining a good level of quality education during crisis will act as the backbone for the reconstruction and restoration phase after the crisis is over UNSECO, 2017).

Transforming Higher Education in the Context of Covid 19 in Indiaijtsrd
The COVID 19 pandemic led to the need to adapt to teaching methodologies, due to the impossibility of having presential classes. Therefore, online teaching and learning have played an important role in Higher Education for the last year. Another way to increase student engagement is to involve and consult student representatives, students from specific communities, to better understand specific needs and ensure that solutions offered are suitable for all and leave nobody behind. The online platforms supply an avenue where users can get up to date information on upcoming educational conferences and seminars. These platforms provide detailed information about the conference like the quality of sessions for every conference, the speakers for every session, topics for discussion for every session and the duration for every session. The COVID 19 crisis focused a move towards online teaching and learning, thereby creating space for more flexible learning possibilities, exploring blended learning, and mixing synchronous learning with asynchronous learning. The govt is providing many E Learning platforms to develop the covid 19 pandemic period. during the covid 19 pandemic situation, many students can use the E learning platform different thanks to the teaching learning process. They have progressed rapidly from classroom instruction to online distribution model to the transition between multiple classes and services. Daily and modified information should be delivered to students and workers via emails and other means of communication.

Covid 19 is a social problem with both positive and negative implications on the people. A lot of studies were conducted on the negative implications of covid 19 on nation’s educational development, regrettably, there were paucity of scholarsly studies on the posivtive implication of this pandemic on the educational development in Nigeria. Therefore, this study seeks to fill this gap in scholarship by examining the positive implications of Covid 19 pandemic on educational development of tertiary institutions in the 21st century in Nigeria. Thus, the study was guided with three objectives and three corresponding research questions. The social change theory evolutionary perspectives and functionalist theory were used as the theoretical approaches to the study.. The study adopted a quantitative method, whereby, the survey design was adopted. The questionnaire instrument was used for data collection. The instrument was titled Covid 19 Pandemic Questionnaire CPQ and Educational Innovations, Improvement and Development Questionnaire EIIDQ . The four Likert scale SA, A, D and SD were also used. The sample size for the study was 400 derived through convenience sampling technique. The study equally used quota, purposive and accidental sampling techniques. Simple percentage, mean and standard deviation were used for data analysis. The paper reveals that apart from the negative outcome, the outbreak of covid 19 in Rivers State brought about positive outcome in the tertiary institutions, as there were perceived improvement, innovations and development in the system, through the use of online or e learning medium. Therefore, the study recommends that teachers who are the pioneer of teaching or education, should even at this period of time when there is ease of the pandemic, utilize or subject the students with e learning so as to avoid shock in case of future occurrence, and also, that teachers and students should do the needful to ensure they improve on ICT skills in case there is need for e learning.

The present study emphasizes the global impact of the e-learning process during COVID 19. The implementation of lockdown and social distancing has been enforced as one of the preventive measures to spread the coronavirus infection which has resulted in complete paralysis of global activities. Especially the education system which is completely shut and to proceed with the academic curriculum, there is a shift from the regular learning process to electronic learning. This can be cited with an increased number of online classes, conferences, meetings, etc. It can be noted that the world is completely dependent on information technologies during this crisis. Hence, the present study provides an insight into the process of electronic learning and its advantages along with the updated version of its usage. To best of our knowledge, there have been scanty scientific reports on this particular situation of the impact of e-learning during COVID 19. The present study is a compilation of the components of e-learning tools along with the future perspective on education using information science

Factors Influencing Online Education during COVID-19 Pandemic: Sri Lankan Stu...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
This study examines the factors influencing online education for selected Sri Lankan universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also analyses the moderate effect of gender and type of the university on online education. Primary data were collected using a questionnaire via google form from Management students in Sri Lankan selected universities. Data analysis was done through structural equations using analysis of moment structures (AMOS) version 22.0. Attitude, internet and related facilities, curriculum, and self-motivation were found to have a significant positive impact on online education, while workload & time have no significant effect on online education. Among four factors, the strongest influence was derived from self-motivation followed by the curriculum. We have not found significant differences among male and female students’ views on online education, while the impact from the type of university is different among the two categories. This study effectively guides policy makers and university administrators across the educational institutes to decide on continuing online education. It reveals some insights to the teachers, students, and parents to understand the significance of the modern online learning environment and its positive impact on the new learning mode. There is no study related to the factors associated with the impact of online education during the Covid-19 pandemic in the Sri Lankan context.
. In the Namibian educational environment during COVID-19 many schools were affected as a result of
COVID-19 such as primary school, secondary school, as well as tertiary institutions experiencing challenges of
eLearning platform usage as a means of facilitating teaching and learning among learners and students as most
of them have to adapt to the new environment of the online platform. However, despite some schools had adopted
and implemented eLearning the study discovered that many schools including universities do not fully utilize the
platform implemented in their schools and as such many schools have been struggling to adapt to the new environment of online learning
Stress, Satisfaction, and Academic Performance in Online Learning among Sopho...Ryan Michael Oducado
This descriptive-correlational determined the undergraduate nursing students’ stress, satisfaction, and academic performance in online learning during COVID-19 pandemic. The research participants were the 108 second-year undergraduate nursing students from one nursing school in the Philippines. The data were collected using a web-based survey questionnaire and then analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s rho correlation. The results revealed that the undergraduate nursing students considered having online learning during the COVID-19 outbreak to be stressful (44.4%) and very stressful (47.2%). Moreover, the undergraduate nursing students had low satisfaction (37%) and moderate satisfaction (46.3%) having the online learning during the COVID-19 outbreak. The undergraduate nursing students’ academic performance were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and resulted in poor (37%) to fair (50%) academic performance and were considerably (43.6%) and greatly (30.6%) affected by the pandemic. Online learning stress had a significant and inverse correlation with online learning satisfaction (rs=-.370, p=.000) and academic performance (rs=-.240, p=.012). Stress negatively impacts the undergraduate nursing students’ satisfaction and academic performance. This research suggests that certain measures should be performed to reduce stress and improve the online teaching–learning processes during the COVID-19 outbreak.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted changing the model of learning
activities. Teaching and learning activities that have usually been done faceto-face
have now turned into online learning. This study identified student
perspectives on online learning activities for Department of Civics
Education students at the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education at Halu
Oleo University, Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study used
a survey method by distributing questionnaires in the form of Google Forms
to students, and a total of 227 students participated in this study. Our study
focused on online learning media, learning effectiveness, lecturers' abilities,
obstacles, and student recommendations regarding online learning during the
COVID-19 pandemic. Data analysis in this study was carried out
descriptively, presented in the form of frequency, percentage, and graph. The
study results found that the most effective online learning media felt by
students at the Department of Civics Education were Google Meet and
Zoom Cloud Meetings. Besides, the majority of students considered online
learning to be no more effective than face-to-face lectures. Lecturers need to
provide two-way learning materials through discussion as well as question
and answer. Furthermore, the main determining factors that cause online
learning to be ineffective are network constraints and internet quotas.
Therefore, students expected the lecturers to understand the network
constraints experienced by students during online learning and recommend
implementing learning activities for blended learning (combination of online
and offline) while still complying with the health protocols.
A learning system based on formalized teaching but with the help of electronic resources is known as E-learning. While teaching can be based in or out of the classrooms, the use of computers and the Internet forms the major component of E-learning.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks
