Online Education: Need of The Hour

Schools and colleges across the globe have closed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Now, the biggest concern for teachers is maintaining continuity in student engagement and tracking progress. To overcome this problem, online teaching methods are being used to ensure that students are receiving a quality education.

Online teaching is the method of teaching via the internet. It is a type of distance learning method where foundations of the traditional classroom no longer exist. It accommodates the needs of an ever-growing population of students who cannot or prefer not to participate in traditional classroom settings. These include those unable to attend traditional classes, who cannot find a particular class at their chosen institution, who live in remote locations, who work full time and can only study at or after work, and those who simply prefer to learn independently.

Additionally, online teaching offers increased flexibility of time. Students and teachers can engage themselves in the process of learning and teaching at the time they are most comfortable. It provides access and shares information more easily and readily.  Learning and teaching can occur in any location irrespective of geographical boundaries. It can boost confidence in the students; they could speak more easily as they can’t see people in front of them so they are less conscious and more confident. It minimized the physical resources used in teaching. It can lessen the cost of education as the process of learning goes online, no traveling or operational cost needed to be incurred. It is also a blessing in disguise for students and teachers who are living with a disability or having physical difficulties that obstruct them to attend a real classroom. It also results in an increase in digital literacy amongst both students and teachers, which is required to pave the way for a modern teaching system.
