So today we will review and understand online classes are good or bad? As with every difficult question, there isn’t a clear cut answer.
Perhaps the worst part about online education is the increased amount of screen time.
Sitting in one place for hours, staring at a screen, without any contact or proximity to people is not exactly conducive to great concentration.
On a zoom or google meet screen, a teacher cannot simultaneously look ag forty, fifty or hundred students.
Due to the aforementioned concerns of invisibility, anonymity and inability to constantly proctor the students, cheating is increased drastically.
Perhaps the biggest drawback of online education is that children miss out on their school and college experience.
Studies have shown that online classes have actually had a beneficial impact on children’s academics.
The time that students, at least in metropolises and villages, spend in travelling etc gets cut down on an online forum.
Since the online forum compels children to use their mobiles and laptops for education purposes, they become more digitally adept.
The flexibility that online classes offer allows children to learn at their own pace as opposed to the pace adopted by their teacher.
One of the main benefits that online education offers which enhances learning is that the kids are in their comfort zone.
