Covid-19 has changed the nation fundamentally. While countries around the globe are racing to control the spread of coronavirus, and as headlines are centred on those efforts, a major side effect has been overlooked, that is Education.
COVID-19 is a crisis which we’ve never seen before. This pandemic has crashed all the global markets and hundreds of business to shut their doors temporarily and schools and colleges are one among them. With countries in lockdown to protect their people, the wheels of education have been brought to a halt.
Like everything else, this too shall pass.
And you’re not alone, we’re here to help.
During this crisis, we remain as passionate as ever about assisting you learn, grow and connect with educators and learners around the world through our new virtual learning feature.
To help you better understand what exactly virtual classroom is about, let’s take a closer look.
What is a Virtual Classroom?
A virtual classroom is a digital replica of a traditional classroom. Much like in a physical classroom, the instructors teach face-to-face and the participants learn, view presentations or videos, interact with other participants, whiteboard, test and the reports, everything remains intact but via internet-enabled technology devices.
Benefits of Virtual Learning:
- Personalized Learning: A virtual classroom allows both learners and instructors from anywhere around the world to participate in live classes.
- Affordable: The costs of travel and learning materials come down to a minimum, since all that needed is an internet connection.
- Flexible Learning: Online classes allows an added benefit by recording classes, this means the content is accessible even after class being delivered. This would be a lifesaver for students who want a quick refresher, or perhaps did not fully understand it for the first time.
- Learner-Centred Instruction: Virtual classrooms offer face-to-face interaction, where the classes are interactive, immersive and centred on the learner.
- Easy and Reliable Feedback: In a physical classroom with 40 to 50 learners, it’s difficult to gauge who is learning and who isn’t. But with virtual classrooms, gathering feedback is easy through real-time polling, hand raising and other interactive features.
- Peer-To-Peer Learning: The collaborative tools in a virtual classroom allow students to leverage the collective knowledge of their peers.
