With the advancement of technology education has come a long way. From traditional classroom-style classes to self-paced online learning, learning and development (L&D) methods have changed to accommodate different preferences and styles of learning. One such method is live online learning which can provide a more interactive and collaborative experience for learners. Before you decide on the most suitable method for your business it is important to understand how this approach differs from the traditional 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 communicate in real-time with their teachers and classmates using a videoconferencing tool like Zoom. In contrast to other online learning methods live classes focus on the ability to communicate in real-time 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 should organize their sessions in accordance with the goals and objectives laid in their overall course design. Instructors should, for instance ensure that each Live Session adds value to the assigned readings or recorded videos by defining and expanding the material, applying it, practicing, debating, and analyzing.
Students in live classrooms are also able to build stronger bonds with their instructors and classmates by participating in group discussions and collaborations. This helps them remain engaged throughout the course. This is especially crucial for subjects that are difficult, such as math, chemistry, Russian or Arabic or web programming that require a high level of interaction and understanding.
