E-learning Frustrations

My girls had two days of e-learning due to the PSLE oral examinations. No doubt, e-learning, IT and technology is the future but asking primary school aged children to do e-learning can be really frustrating, especially when faced with IT issues. 
On the first day of e-learning, my girls have had problems with some of the files that they had to watch before they proceeded to do their assigned homework. They either couldn't open those files or the links embedded within the files didn't work. How would the children know how to solve the IT issues or what to do in such situations? As a result, my girls could only finish the remainder of their first day homework very late at night after I came back from work to solve the IT issues. Even then, one or two still couldn't be opened. :( :( Apparently, my girls weren't the only students who had had problems with their e-learning assignments because on the second day of e-learning, teachers sent messages about faulty files and also the steps to solve the IT issues were provided. Sigh.
