Education has changed a lot since the introduction of technology. Learning and development (L&D) that includes classes in the classroom, as well as self-paced eLearning methods, has changed to accommodate different styles and preferences for learning. Live learning online is just one of the methods that offer a more collaborative and interactive learning experience for learners. It is important to be aware of the differences between this method as opposed to the more traditional recorded online course format prior to deciding which option is best for your organization.
What is live learning?
Live learning online, as the name suggests is a kind of online learning that allows students to communicate in real-time with their instructors and peers through a videoconferencing program like Zoom. Live classes differ from other online learning methods because they focus on real-time communication between students and instructors. This allows learners to clear any confusion and fosters greater understanding of the content.
To maximize the effectiveness of a live class it is recommended that instructors plan their classes according to the objectives and objectives of 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 and practicing, debating and studying.
Students in live classes can also form stronger bonds with their instructors and classmates through discussions and collaborations in groups. This can help them remain engaged throughout the course. This is especially important for difficult subjects like math, chemistry, Russian or Arabic or web programming, which require a high degree of interaction and understanding.
