Breaking through the limitations of time and space
In the past two years everyone has become familiar with terms like ‘online schooling’ and ‘distance learning’. As most countries went into Covid-related lockdowns, millions of students worldwide started learning online.
Online schools are similar in many ways to brick-and-mortar schools, although without the constraints of physical school buildings and geographic distance. This means students enroll as they would in a regular school, except they study online at home. The online school offers courses and qualified teachers, as well as students' course schedules. Just like a regular school, children attend classes with their classmates and teachers are responsible for their learning , even if they are studying at home.
Easy to use
Since the course is conducted through the Internet, parents or children can turn on their mobile phones or computers to learn as long as they have time. Therefore, online education has completely broken the geographical gap and time restrictions. No matter where they are, as long as they have the Internet, children can have classes anytime and anywhere, regardless of the restrictions of region and time.
high cost performance
Compared with offline courses, most of the teaching costs of online courses are relatively low, and for parents, such a level of teaching fees is also within their range, parents in the material pressure is relatively small.
A variety of teaching modes.
Generally speaking, training institutions have several online course modes, one-to-one, one-to-two, one-to-three or even one-to-many. Different teaching modes also have different prices, parents can choose according to the needs of their children.
Improve efficiency
Each child's talent is different, the learning progress is not the same, in the traditional classroom, the teacher may not be able to take into account everyone, the child does not have their own time to customize their own learning plan, but in the online course, although still in class, but the child has time to make learning plans according to their own learning needs, can improve the efficiency of learning.
Various forms
The teaching forms of online education are becoming more and more diversified, including graphic, audio and video courses, which are also convenient for students to learn and consolidate specific knowledge. Live teaching is more timely, and students can watch it repeatedly after class. Interactive live broadcasting solves the pain point of online education's lack of activity, and multi-person online video calls restore traditional classroom teaching.
How does online school work?
To operate an online education system effectively, there are several key aspects to consider:
- Content delivery and updating: In order to attract more students and keep them engaged, online education systems need to provide rich, engaging instructional content. This includes regularly updating course content, producing high-quality instructional videos, and designing interactive learning activities.
- Technical support and maintenance: As a complex technical platform, the online education system needs continuous technical support and maintenance work. This includes ensuring the stability and security of the system, handling user feedback questions and suggestions in a timely manner, and continuously optimizing system performance and user experience.
- Student management and tracking: The online education system needs to establish a sound student management system, including student registration, course purchase, learning record tracking and other functions. Through these functions, educational institutions can better understand students' learning and provide them with personalized learning support and guidance.
- Teacher training and support: Teachers are an important part of the online education system and they need to have good teaching skills and the ability to use online education platforms. Therefore, educational institutions need to provide professional training and technical support for teachers to help them better use online education platforms for teaching activities.
- Data analysis and optimization: The collection and analysis of students' learning data can help educational institutions better understand students' learning behaviors and needs, so as to optimize curriculum Settings, improve teaching methods, and improve teaching quality and learning results.
Although online teaching has many advantages, it also hides many disadvantages.
Some students in remote areas do not have the network conditions for online learning, and online teaching relies on electronic devices. There are also technical problems. The network is a big network, and the Internet industry is mixed. For example, the educational content is not approved. In addition, online teaching has higher requirements for learners' self-management. Whether it is online teaching or traditional classroom teaching, it has little impact on learners with strong self-management. However, for the students who rely on the management of teachers, the learning efficiency is inevitably low.
By carrying out this online education and teaching, "no class suspension" has further promoted the deep integration of information technology and education and teaching. It is of great significance for teachers to renew their educational ideas, change their teaching methods and skills, and promote the organic combination of offline and online teaching. Network education may be a teaching trend in the future, its advantages will be more obvious, and the shortcomings will slowly improve. Although the online education into the campus is still in the development stage, but in the future will gradually become one of the mainstream mode of education, so that online education learning truly become a part of people's lives.
