BENGALURU: With the Karnataka government ordering suspension of classes at schools to prevent the spread of Covid-19, some institutes in the city are livestreaming lessons to prevent their syllabus from getting delayed. They are using videoconferencing applications of WebEx, Google, Zoom, etc. to beam classes into students’ homes.
Indus International has been using WebEx and Zoom to hold online classes for primary students. “The classes are conducted for two hours every day.

Additionally, we are ready to provide any online assistance students may need.”
