DotEdu refers broadly to ensuring continuity of education and its related activities to support children's resilience and well-being and reduce anxiety during an emergency as remote e-learning solutions can mitigate the immediate disruption caused by COVID-19 and establish approaches to develop more open and flexible education systems for the future. DotEdu has been built to assist institutions in automating their processes and enhance remote learning.
