Virtual
Classes have its own virtues
For the
past twenty years, I’ve heard this question asked many times about onlineeducation.
An
abundance of studies has examined online education. They explore effectiveness
through a number of criteria including satisfaction, retention and achievement.
A notable analysis was published by the US Department of Education in 2010.
The Evaluation ofEvidence-Based Practices in Online Learning: A Meta-Analysis and Review ofOnline Learning Studies found that, on average, students in online learning
conditions performed equal or even better than those receiving face-to-face
instruction.
After
two decades of work in and dedication to this field, I believe that we can
positively impact the learning experience for students in online courses.
Few of
the benefits are listed below:
Increased Convenience. Without the location or time limitations of a
traditional classroom setting, learners have the freedom to absorb content and
engage with peers, at a time and location that they will learn best.
Schedule Flexibility. The ease of accessibility of an online
learning platform gives learners the opportunity to take a break at certain
times of the work day to take a class. This allows professionals to learn at
various times of the day, or housewives at the comfort of home. This type of
flexibility is not possible with physical classrooms.
Knowledge Retention. For many, online instruction delivers a more
effective learning experience because of the ability to have short, interactive
modules that can be repeated if needed. These short modules also referred to as
micro learning, help learners find what they need quickly, and help break up
learning to make it more manageable and memorable.
Increased Participation &
Engagement. It may seem like
there would be more opportunities for participation and engagement in
traditional classrooms setting, but this is not necessarily true. There are
many ways to interact in virtual classrooms through chat and rating features,
as well as social learning. The interactive comment and share features help
learners engage and connect.
