Did you know how technology helped the word in many ways?
Now a days you can study with sites for researches, Meeting classes with apps and a lot of informations that you have with simples researches. For me online lessons are hard, because there are many troubes like internet connection and audio. I think that is a lot hard to be all the time focused on the teacher and study at home can be harder because you have a lot of distractions. In my opinion, tablets are more interesting then books and they are more practical too, so the exchange would be more beneficial for the students.

technology facilitates distance learning, but it also has its flaws and its advantages as if the annulus has a bad connection he will not be able to attend the class in the same way as a student with a good internet connection. I feel that online classes are like a second means of learning during the pandemic and that after that maybe we will use this system more.

ps: i cant take a picture of my table.

The technology helped a lot, because it developed an online learning method, where we can study without leaving home, and that helped a lot, since we are in the middle of a pandemic, online classes are even cool, I like having online classes, because I stay at my house, and it helps me to study better, of course there are always those problems, right, like the net dropping or the energy in the house running out or even the lack of attention, there are also the tasks that some people do, because the teachers are not there to pick up the student, they have the tests, at home it is easier, because they can look at the handout or Google, well the school could stick more equipment, so that n of problems in the classes, it could also put more people who understood about technologies, could put more munitors, or improve the PCs.

technology is a crucial factor today, it helps us by facilitating several difficult situations. with the arrival of the corona virus in brazil and the world pandemic, classes started to be transmitted online, that is, definitely requiring internet access. study at home. this would not have happened many years ago, considering that technology was not so advanced that this possibility existed. even though studying by is internet is challenging compared to regular class at the school it is still better than not having classes at all, all of this thanks to the advancement of the technology. and to conclude, in my opinion, the should not add anything technological :))))))

In my opinion, technology facilitated and helped my learning a lot. With tacnology I learned a lot more things than I have at school and I also think it is better to take classes at home than to go to school. I like online classes because I can consent and learn a lot more than I had at school with all that noise, but the problem is that I stay away from my friends. In online English classes what I think teachers could do more, would be to have more English games, because I like games a lot and with these English games they help me even more.

Technology has gone through many innovations until today, an example was a letter that was used a means of communication and nowadays we have
e-mail, in the past it was only in its beginning and it was very simple in the past and no one he imagined that it would be estremely necessary in the future. Thanks do these developments, she is helping a lot in this pandemic that we are going through, helping schools with remote class, and for teaching to be effective, schools had to adopt many new things like online classrooms or meet. Online classes are not the same things as school classes with teachers and students all together, so it turns out that students inside their own homes, have distractions during classes and do not open up with good results. The IT is something that is very important nowadays, and schools could adopt the teaching of IT to students, because it would be very useful in several things.

Technology has helped a lot in these pandemic times like distance learning and has kept schools from giving classes. I feel strange taking classes at home but I can concentrate on all of them, but it is strange not to be in the classroom without students and as a teacher behind the screen. The biggest challenge I have in relation to online classes, is that the environment is different but I believe it is better, there is not so much distraction but at the same time it is strange. I think leagl the teachers start to use more technological equipment in the classes, the classes would be more dynamic and for sure it would be very cool for the students to leave the same. They could start using more tablets, computers and cell phones, start using it for learning.

What Is Distance Learning? And Why Is It So Important?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Distance learning - any form of remote education where the student is not physically present for the lesson - is booming thanks to the power of the Internet. With a variety of course types to choose from, there is a rise in flexible and affordable education options. In fact, there are a number of advantages of learning remotely over even traditional teaching models. So keep reading to learn more about distance learning. Or go straight to our recommended distance learning tool: myViewBoard Classroom.
As the Internet blurs the line between near and far, distance learning is set to disrupt the current paradigm of education. With everything from AI-driven teaching algorithms to simple message boards, there are more options than ever to learn whatever you need to know.

While skilled educators will continue to be an integral part of every student's life, technology will bridge the physical spaces between teachers and learners. Distance learning is already part of many institutions' programs, and it is set to become an even larger part of the education sector. But first...

What Is Distance Learning?

Distance learning describes any learning that happens without the students being physically present in the lesson. (However, this could also apply to the teacher in certain situations.)

Historically, this described correspondence courses in which students would communicate with their schools or teachers by mail. More recently, distance education has moved online to include a huge range of systems and methods on practically any connected device.

Common Types of Distance Learning

Though there are lots of learning (and teaching) options online, there are a few types that are well supported by existing systems and established pedagogies.

Video conferencing is a common way for teachers to interact directly with students in live lessons. This could be a one-on-one session or a class-like scenario in which multiple students connect to the teacher live.

is when all the students learn together at the same time (and often even place) but the instructor is at another location. It often features video or teleconferencing that connects teachers and learners digitally.

Asynchronous learning is a less connected but also less constrained format. Instead of live online lessons, students are given learning tasks with deadlines. They then self-study to complete the assignments.

Open-schedule online courses add yet another layer of flexibility. It is a type of asynchronous course setup, except there aren't any deadlines either. This is ideal for learners with other demands on their time, such as professionals or stay-at-home parents.

Fixed-time online courses are a type of synchronous course that requires online users to all visit a specific virtual location at a set time and place (e.g. a webinar). Unlike more rigid synchronous lessons, this does allow students from anywhere in the world to connect and interact online.

Computer-based distance education is a fixed-time, synchronous lesson on computers, usually a computer lab. This is most common in existing institutions that already have access to the necessary devices.

Hybrid learning is a specific type of blended learning where students are learning the same lesson in real-time (i.e. synchronous distance learning) but some of the students are physically present while others are learning remotely.

How Is Distance Learning Different from Regular Learning?

Distance education is clearly different from regular education in terms of a student or teacher's physical presence. But what does that mean, exactly?

For the most part, it translates into increased freedom for both learners and educators, but it also requires higher degrees of discipline and planning to successfully complete the course of study.

The enhanced freedom of remote learning is most clearly seen in the fact that students can choose courses that fit their schedules and resources. (Teachers can do the same.) And in the case of digital learning, students can also choose the location and teaching styles that best suit their needs.

The flip side of freedom, however, is the discipline required to make the most of the lessons. Students need to self-motivate in order to actually get the work done, especially in systems that don't require them to be present in some specific time or place. Teachers also need to be better organized with contingencies should their students need additional explanation, again especially if they are not teaching live and able to "read the room."

In certain cases, however, distance learning is not just required but the best possible option. There are times when the advantages of remote education really have a chance to shine.

Advantages of Distance Learning

Certainly, live instruction is great. The face-to-face contact lets teachers and students connect in a very authentic way, which often results in strong rapport and understanding. While not impossible, this kind of connection still seems much easier in person. So why is distance learning even a thing?

As it turns out, there are a number of advantages when learning remotely. Here are just a few.

Flexibility

The top benefit of distance education is its flexibility. Students can choose when, where, and how they learn by selecting the time, place, and medium for their education. For those who want direct, live access to teachers there are video conferencing options. But for students who may be doing their training around a job or other responsibilities, a more relaxed schedule may work better. There are options to match virtually anyone's needs.

And thanks to the proliferation of online learning options, there is a course structure on practically any subject that a person would want to study.

Easy Access

Whether due to remote location or being differently-abled, some students lack basic access to educational facilities. Remote learning programs offer every student the opportunity to learn and improve themself in the environment they find the most effective.

Remote learning also opens up new horizons of education in terms of international institutions. Major universities and trade schools the world over now offer recognized degrees, certificates, and professional qualifications online to learners of all ages. Or motivated people can get more basic certificates of completion everywhere from Udemy to Google Skillshop.

Thanks to the scalable nature of digital learning especially, distance learning is driving down the cost of education. Online degrees are becoming almost commonplace, and there are even accredited online-only universities that can eliminate expensive infrastructure overhead and get straight to the teaching.

And those schools that offer both can offer the same program for drastically different prices. For example, an in-state undergraduate student for Purdue University (ranked #57 in the United States) estimates in-person tuition and living expenses at $22,782 a year, usually requiring four years of study. International students' tuition skyrockets to $45,594 per year. The same degree online would cost $50,085 in total.

What to Look for in a Distance Learning System

Regardless of whether you are an educator or a student, there are certain features that you should look for in a distance learning system to get the most out of it.

Simplicity is the key. Any system you adopt to either teach or learn should be user-friendly for everyone involved. This means a clear interface and a set of certain essential features that include:

Digital whiteboarding and annotation

Media creation and sharing

Screen recording with audio

Direct student-to-teacher communication

Multi-device compatibility

Accreditation

The credibility of a remote learning platform is really a combination of the instructor and the platform itself. For learners, it's important to note how well recognized that platform's credentials are. Does it provide a recognized degree? A professional certificate? A certificate of completion? These are all things to keep in mind before enrolling.

And educators looking to adopt a remote learning system, it's important to know what kind of accreditation that system can bestow on your behalf or on the behalf of your institution. For academic degrees or professional qualifications, recognition by outside regulatory bodies will likely be necessary.

As most distance learning systems are made to be fairly flexible in this regard, the course schedule has a lot to do with its content and not the system. Still, it's an important factor to consider when choosing a course.

Is it a synchronous or asynchronous course? Are there deadlines or not? How long do you have to complete the entire course? And does the course's schedule match yours?

Wrapping Up

Remote education is certainly not a magic bullet and there will always be a place for in-class learning. At the same time, distance learning still has a lot of untapped potential to reach students where they are and connect educators and learners in new ways. From increased flexibility to new learning styles, it seems that the future of learning will be as diverse in time and place as it will be in thought.

'We shouldn't go back to lectures': why future students will learn online

'We shouldn't go back to lectures': why future students will learn online

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
n the early medieval universities of Europe, masters stood at the front of a hall, reading excerpts from texts and commenting on them, while students copied down notes word for word. If that sounds familiar, it's because it is. Today's universities bear remarkable similarities to their antecedents.

This deeply culturally ingrained model has been shaken up by the coronavirus pandemic, which has prevented students from entering lecture theatres in the UK since late March. Universities have been forced to shift online, and while lots of students are unhappy with the speed and quality of the changes, many experts believe that online learning is key to the future of higher education.

"That it was ever a great idea for one person to stand in lecture hall and transmit to 200-300 people and to expect them to receive and accept that information in one go was clearly ridiculous," says Ian Dunn, the Coventry University provost who spearheaded the university's new online-only degrees. "I've already said to my university that we shouldn't go back to lectures."

Although universities have slowly been moving aspects of their curriculums online for years, Dunn thinks they have fallen behind on where their students want them to be - and that the coronavirus crisis has granted them a valuable opportunity to catch up.

His comments came in answer to the question of whether universities will shift online for good, which was the subject of an online panel hosted by the Guardian and supported by Adobe.

Fellow panellist Allison Littlejohn, a professor of learning technology at University College London, cautioned that it's important to distinguish between distance and online learning. Distance learning, such as through courses delivered by the Open University, is likely to always remain niche, since students value the social and cultural opportunities that campuses offer. "Online can be what we call blended learning - where sometimes you learn using technologies but other times you might actually meet face to face," she said.

The latter is what universities are promising students who enrol this September. This will likely include a mix of videos and readings that students can do in their own time, complemented by socially distanced small group discussions on campus. "What might be on offer could potentially be better," said Littlejohn, though she warned against universities trying to simply replicate the classroom online. "It's what students do with concepts and ideas that's most important."

This setup could also potentially benefit disadvantaged students who may struggle to afford to live near campus for three years, as well as mature students thinking of returning to university to learn additional skills that will help them succeed in their careers, noted Mark Andrews, pedagogical evangelist at Adobe.

Leah Belsky, chief enterprise officer at Coursera, a private online learning provider, said that universities have lagged behind other industries in terms of investment in digital infrastructure. She added that the tech industry has underinvested in education due to a perception that it is "slow and heavily regulated", although there is a growing understanding of its potential for innovation.

Dunn agreed that universities have been reluctant to spend on online learning. "We were very willing to build a new building at £100m but actually seeing a digital campus as an investment at a similar scale is something we ought to have been doing for a very long time and we really haven't - and that's a great weakness," he said.

The panellists agreed that students increasingly expect their learning to be personalised - and that this is easier to deliver online. Andrews said that this provides an opportunity to make sure that disabled students are better accommodated from the outset.

Belsky predicted that some online courses could become more career-focused, since online learning is a "more transactional experience". She also foresaw increased collaboration between universities, which may choose to pool resources so that "every university doesn't have to teach its own psychology 101 course", and can instead focus on what makes them distinctive.

Dunn added that personalisation is especially important given how diverse the student body has become in recent years. While international students come for the cultural and social experience on campus, 40% of Coventry's domestic students commute, sometimes for hours, and would prefer to access some learning on demand - perhaps even on their mobile phones.

But Dunn warned that online learning must be rolled out carefully so as not to create a tiered education system in which degrees delivered in person are seen as more reputable. "We need to be careful not to create a new form of disadvantage," he said.

Another challenge that universities are facing, especially in the context of the rapid shift happening as a result of coronavirus, is the pressure on teaching staff. "It's a very different way of working compared to producing lectures and going in and talking to students. It has required a huge effort from colleagues," Littlejohn said.

Littlejohn added that students are also feeling new kinds of pressure. She urged students starting online courses to consider their mental health needs, including how much time they want to spend face to face. This is a responsibility for universities too, she said, since despite the benefits of learning online, it's still essential that they find creative ways to help students "get to know people on a human level".
