Due to the covid-19 pandemic, the education sector as a whole faces major challenges. For students and teachers, at present, teaching can only be done online - there is usually no suitable structure for learning at home. This crisis reveals the importance of digital education. Contemporary teaching and learning in digital space should not only include positive teaching through video calls and textbooks. Even the interactive smart boards and other interactive devices can improve the effective and collaboration of teaching, there are still some challenges.
Here are some suggested adjustments to help improve distance learning performance:
1. Easy to connect and operate:
Schools and teachers should choose a teaching platform that supports as many network connected devices as possible at the same time. Teachers and students can then use computers, smartphones and tablets they are familiar with in class. In addition, the connection process should be simplified and intuitive.
2. More interaction:
In the traditional curriculum, good teachers become the focus of class only through "speaking". It is not easy to keep students' attention for a long time. Teachers should try to learn from YouTube. The famous YouTuber is good at reducing the distance between them and remote online viewers. By asking a question every two to three minutes or having students chat with each other, the teacher can improve the classroom atmosphere.
3. Rhythm change:
In every part of each class, lectures and interactions should be mixed together. Keeping fresh is always the best way to attract attention.
4. Format change:
Besides watching, listening and speaking, teachers can also increase finger movements, such as writing, painting and jogging. For this reason, the collaborative online whiteboard is the perfect choice.
