Can teachers see students during online classes? What are the benefits of online classes?

Everyone must have heard of many ways of taking classes in life, but do you know about online classes? Today, the editor will share with you how to understand online classes. Can teachers see students during online classes? And what are the benefits of online classes?

Can teachers see students during online classes?

You can neither see nor hear. In online classes, you can only see the teacher lecturing. The teacher cannot see whether the students are listening or not. Unless the teacher calls the roll or asks students to answer questions from time to time, you can see whether the students are listening carefully. Therefore, students still have to listen carefully in case the teacher checks them during class.

What are the benefits of taking online classes

1. Attractive price advantage

Ms. Zhou, a citizen, has a child who is about to enter the last year of kindergarten. This summer, she plans to let her child learn some music and art courses to enrich her summer life, so online classes came into her sight.

"Before my child went on summer vacation, I spent some time doing some research. The current online courses are mainly cultural courses and art courses. Compared with physical courses, online courses are much cheaper, and you can take classes as long as you have an electronic terminal, which is indeed more convenient. However, because I have never taken online courses before, I chose an African drum course recommended by a fairly well-known parent-child public account and planned to let my child try it. After a few classes, the child seemed to like it very much."

2. Study at home, convenient, time-saving and safe

Compared with offline courses, online courses allow children to learn new knowledge while sitting at home. This not only saves travel time to physical classes, but also avoids safety hazards for children when going out.

The courses are diverse and the range of choices is wider, from the training of excellence in various subjects to foreign language speaking, music, art, chess, calligraphy, logical thinking, etc. There are all kinds of courses. The rich variety of online courses provides parents and children with more choices and helps to explore children's interests and talents.

What are the disadvantages of taking online classes

1. Poor interaction effect or affecting teaching effect

Since online courses lack direct communication between teachers and students, the interactivity is greatly reduced compared to offline courses. Children in lower grades are prone to distraction during class, so the learning effect of the class may not be guaranteed.

2. False advertising is difficult to detect and teaching qualifications are questionable

In fact, there have been cases of people falling into traps when purchasing online courses in recent years. For example, some netizens reported that after purchasing a one-on-one online course on a well-known learning application, they found that the teacher's level was so poor that the students had to correct their mistakes; in some online course scams, participants not only did not receive guidance, but also faced the risk of personal information leakage; in addition, there are also many cases of people encountering unfair terms when purchasing online courses.

3. Excessive use of electronic devices affects children’s eyesight

The harm of electronic screens to eyesight is also one of the disadvantages of online courses. Since online courses require long-term focus on electronic screens, compared with traditional courses, online courses put a greater burden on children's eyes. Especially for adolescents in the period of physical development, they should pay more attention to scientific use of eyes and protect their eyesight.

What are your feelings and experiences about taking online classes?

1. Ensure quality while reducing costs

As we all know, economic development can promote the development of education and affect the scale of education. Generally speaking, education is affected by the economy in two aspects. First, from the perspective of educational facilities, the improvement of educational technology and facilities has improved the effectiveness of education. Second, from the perspective of the scale of education, microphones and speakers can bring hundreds of people together for classes. However, this educational model has been proven to be undesirable in practice. Online learning can be seen as a typical form of expanding the scale of labor in the field of education. The replacement of labor factors (teachers) by the Internet does not mean that the role of teachers is redundant. On the contrary, the role of teachers as instructors or equipment maintainers is gradually increasing.

2. Decide your own study time and place

Online learning does not allow students to move from one place to another, but allows the classroom to move from one place to another. This learning method is adapted to the characteristics of adults and saves a lot of time for students. For example, our current training allows students to take time to study online at home through online courseware.

3. On-demand learning

The biggest feature of online learning is that adults can selectively learn according to their own development needs. In the online society, people's academic qualifications are no longer important. Instead, they are replaced by their academic level and real skills. A person must constantly learn about and master new technologies after work. The online society needs talents with multiple degrees and multiple qualification certificates.
