H/E this pandemice has influenced and highlighted the factor to standalone as the utmost solution for the mobility constraints. I agree with your argement that saying this plat form should be further developed and utlized for the well being of the emplyees as well as the employers. However, i was not able to hide my ideas about drawbacks in this process. This online training process can not be applied very practically for the manufacturing sector, hence the inprovement of manufacturing and value adding sector may be slow down. And the important thing is rights of enployees and independence in the peson has been threaten up to some extent. Most of the employers forcing their employees to take online learning which can not be bear by some of the employees. And some workers have to work/ traing beyond the workinh hours. As you mentioned above if the employers want to really sharp up the real importance of the process they must think and treat their emplyees fairly and equally , i suppose.
