Education has changed a lot since the introduction of technology. Learning and development (L&D), which includes classes that are akin to a classroom and self-paced eLearning methods, has been adapted to accommodate various styles and preferences for learning. Live learning online is just one method that offers students a more interactive and social learning experience for students. Before you choose the best method for your business it is important to understand how this method differs from the more familiar method of pre-recorded lessons.
What is live learning?
As the name suggests, live learning online is a virtual educational process that allows students to interact with their instructors and classmates in real-time using the videoconferencing platform, such as Zoom. As opposed to other online learning techniques live classes focus on the use of real-time communication between instructors and students, which enables learners to clarify any doubts they may have and helps them gain a deeper understanding of the material.
To maximize the effectiveness of live classes, instructors must structure their sessions according to the goals and objectives laid out in their overall course structure. Instructors must, for instance ensure that each Live Session adds value to the reads or recorded videos by clarifying and elaborating their meaning, implementing them in practice, discussing, and analysing.
Students in a live classroom can also form stronger bonds with their instructors and classmates through discussions in groups and collaborations. This can help them remain focused throughout the course. This is especially important for subjects that require a high degree of interaction and understanding, such as Chemistry, math, Arabic or Russian.
