Education has seen a significant change since the introduction of technology. From traditional classroom-style courses to self-paced eLearning, learning and development (L&D) methods have changed to accommodate various preferences and styles of learning. Live learning online is just one method that offers a more collaborative and interactive experience for students. Before you choose the best method for your business it is important to know how this method differs from the standard method of pre-recorded lessons.
What is live learning?
Live learning online, as the name suggests is a type of virtual learning experience that allows students to interact in real-time with their teachers and classmates through a videoconferencing software like Zoom. In contrast to other online learning methods live classes are based on the use of real-time communication between students and instructors which allows students to resolve any doubts they may have and encourages a deeper understanding of the subject.
To maximize the effectiveness of live classes, instructors must plan their classes according to the goals and objectives laid in their overall course structure. For instance, instructors must ensure that the activities they conduct in each Live Session add value to the assigned readings or recorded videos by defining, elaborating using, implementing debating and analyzing them.
Students in live classes can create stronger bonds with classmates and instructors through group discussions and collaborations, which help them remain motivated throughout the course. This is especially crucial in difficult subjects such as math, chemistry, Russian or Arabic or web programming which require a lot of interaction and understanding.
