The covid-19 pandemic has given rise to new-age learning, which entails adapting, re-aligning, rediscovering, inventing methodologies on technical and creative frontiers. More than just going back to the roots or innovating new forms, teaching and learning in such times is about upskilling, unlearning, and looking at everyday practices through a new lens.

The lockdown has given people various opportunities to shift the way they carry out activities and adapt to new technologies much more than ever before. These new shifts are likely to stick as we transcend into the world with a “new normal” post the pandemic, writes Antonio Maurizio Grioli, Dean, School of Fashion, Pearl Academy in an article 'Reshape' Fashion Learning published in May 2020 edition of Fibre2Fashion.

"One of the most interesting developments has been in the sector of creative arts," says Grioli. "While it is traditionally an outgoing field in terms of learning and working, it is now thriving indoors. Fashion brands, designers, and institutes in such a period are realigning their offerings. Many important forums in the field of fashion and design are also brainstorming to find potent solutions in these times of uncertainty."

With stores being closed and human activity completely on a halt, designers are moving swiftly towards becoming digital, according to Grioli.
