The acronym HLLO stands for Hourly Long Learning Online, specifically designed for the COVID-19 pandemic period. The HLLO team engages with youths and children using platforms such as Zoom, Skype, Google Meet, and WhatsApp. Based on their experience, Zoom and Skype are considered the most effective mechanisms for HLLO delivery. HLLO includes two types of sessions: a) Lecture sessions, where only the speaker delivers the content while others keep their connections muted. Interactive lectures with 2-5 speakers are encouraged, preferably in a story format. There is no participant limit for lecture sessions. b) Tutorial sessions, where all participants can speak and have authorization to unmute. Tutorial classes are small in size, with a maximum of 10 members, and serve the purpose of resolving doubts and completing assignments.
