With the advancement of technology education has advanced significantly. Learning and development (L&D) includes classes in the classroom, as well as self-paced eLearning methods, has evolved to accommodate various styles and learning preferences. One of these methods is live online learning which can provide students with a more engaging and collaborative experience for learners. Before you decide on the most suitable method for your business it is important to understand how this method differs from the more familiar method of pre-recorded lessons.
Live learning online as the name implies is a virtual educational experience which allows students to interact in real time with their instructors and peers through a videoconferencing software such as Zoom. Contrary to other online learning processes live classes focus on live communication between instructors and students, which allows students to answer any questions they may have and helps them gain a deeper understanding of the material.
To maximize the effectiveness of live classes, instructors should plan their classes according to the objectives and goals laid out in their overall course design. Instructors must, for example, ensure that each Live Session adds value to the assigned readings or recorded videos by defining and expanding the concepts, applying them in practice, discussing, and analyzing.
Students in live classes are able to make stronger bonds with their peers and instructors through group discussions and collaborations. This helps them remain motivated throughout the course. This is especially important for subjects that require a high degree of interaction and understanding, such as mathematics, chemistry, Arabic or Russian.
