“Online Education is like a rising tide it is going to lift all boats”- Anant Agarwal.
We all know that education is one of the key elements that shape us to think critically and find solutions to the queries we are in search of. At present, when the coronavirus outbreak is hitting all the sectors, we must speak about the education space, which made it possible for you to read this article. Education in 2020 has become one of the cruxes that are skeptical of the educational institutions and the students. Living in the 21st century where technology is revamping all the industries and sectors, education space has found itself safe in its hands. E-learning, online educations, learning online, are few of the names that are introduced to online education. The main purpose of online education is to fill in the spaces between the learners and grasp the knowledge more effectively. But, some points need special attention and need to be reassessed to make the learning ability more feasible and smooth to the learners. Without much ado, let us dive right into the article to see what are the objectives needed to bridge the gap between the learners.
The 3 C’s Developing Online Classes Convenient
Clarity, Convenient, and Consistency is the 3 C’s that should be the main aim a developer needs to keep in mind while developing the online classes. The attention span of a student is 8 minutes therefore, a human mind keeps an eye on the remembering instead of recognition, and the designing of the online classes must be designed likewise to grab the attention of the learner.
Engaging as a Common Factor
The second way of increasing the attention span is by engaging the learners with some good content and entertainment platform. At some point in our life, we have gone through and navigated through the internet. It may either be watching some videos or learning new skills. If you belong to this category, you will know how to handle the user-friendly online learning experience. This means it will be achievable for you to learn online. But, if you belong to the category where you don’t know how to learn online, it may appear difficult at first, but eventually learns how to handle the learning gap. To bridge this gap, you must know how to learn and handle the internet and thereby effectively learning online.
Creating and Coordinating Information
Our brain is modeled to learn various things from the internet only if it is provided in the right format. If the information is build up in a congested manner, you can never expect your brain to register everything you try to read. This is why it is said ‘A place for everything and everything in its place.’ So, making everything in the right form will make the learners activate their brains more.
Chunking is More than a Concept
Chunking is the capability of our brain to remember stuff. Many studies depict that we humans are equipped with short term memory span. This means nothing but the ability to bear a lot of things and matter at the moment will be low. So, it is recommended for the developers to design the online learning spaces filled with some content that can attract many learners to space.
Integrating the Classes with Videos
Another faithful content to incorporate into the world of online education is nothing but combining videos into the study tasks. Combining the videos into the platform will empower the learners to engage in the sensory experience. There is a saying, ‘visual effects remain constant in the brain than the verbal one, thus, the videos. Not only that, but the path is also a chance to improve your critical thinking and managing ability.
Conclusion
Online learning, education, and classes are a way to connect the people and build a bridge to transform the way education is taught. After learning how to manage the electronics and play with the internet, getting online education is also known to bridge the gap between the learners and tutors. Apart from that, there are many electronics like mobile phones, PC, and tablets where you can carry the online classes in your pocket and can be accessed with a single touch. Having said that, one thing is for sure that these technologies are here to stay and is sure to produce a seamless platform for the students.
