What can be more magical than for students to enter the classroom by simply reaching into their pockets, going online from their smart devices, opening eClasses and signing in?
Online education has succeeded in eliminating barriers and borders, giving everyone the opportunity to have access to education anytime anywhere.
With eClasses you can host virtual lectures with your pupils, enjoying the benefits of face-to-face communication and collaboration. Attendees can join from their own desktop, iPad, tablet or mobile, allowing you to conduct your lessons from the safety of your home, while on holiday, being hospitalised or our latest experience of being in lockdown.
Parent participation
Keep parents and guardians informed with the latest school developments, tasks, assignments and their child’s progress. You can quickly and easily add live chat support on your school website, enabling parents and students to chat or call staff in real-time. For higher education institutes, Live Chat can be used to hold office hours that comply with safeguarding procedures, so learners can quickly get questions answered and their work reviewed.
What’s more, students and parents can also communicate with the eClasses apps and a web app for making and receiving calls, chat and more.
Teachers adapting to online learning
Teachers are among the unsung heroes of COVID-19: preparing resources and guidance for remote learning, connecting with kids and their parents to make sure they’re OK — even while many have kids of their own at home.
Parents are fast coming to appreciate everything their teachers do.
It’s hard enough when parents have two or three kids at home all day now. Many will surely realize just how hard it must be to have 25 to 30 or more in a class. Once the working world regains a degree of normality, we won’t take our essential workers for granted so much. Teachers will be among these.
Because of COVID-19, most teachers and students suddenly find themselves forced to use technology as they teach and learn.
A career in academics would necessitate sound knowledge of e-learning platforms and also the ability to use various online resources to make learning more effective in the classroom. The use of online and interactive learning platforms such as eClasses, can make the learning experience more enriching and meaningful for both the student and the teacher.
An unfortunate reality that we need to soon realise and accept is that education as we know it, is changing. It is recommended for every teacher to focus on reskilling themselves and also acquire additional competencies in emerging areas to remain relevant. Keeping up with the trends that is. Our children does this on their own, no need to teach them how to keep up with technology.
Approach to education and academics has changed to a great extent .The earlier model used to revolve around teachers as the main source of knowledge. However, the current scenario has changed the role of the teachers from source to facilitator. Now, students can learn at home and sit in the classrooms for clearing their doubts.
Besides adapting their style of teaching, schools and institutions will need to have clear plans about how they will provide certain services to students. Such services include advising, tutoring, teaching etc.
Online learning tools such as eClasses, is mainly to assist the teacher and student. To help and prepare and enhance future learning experiences.
Technology has supplemented teaching and teachers; not replaced them.
