Apart from the practical barriers for students with technology limitations, people believe that online teaching limits some of the elements considered crucial for in-person instruction. Among them are open debate, one-on-one supervision, a group dynamic, a closed environment conducive to student focus, and teachers\u2019 ability to gauge non-verbal signals and tone. However, BigBlueButton online learning software addresses every concern.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite these worries, researchers have found little difference in overall learning outcomes based on online classes, instead noting slight advantages. Benefits include more accessible training material, easier access to teachers, a safer space for inhibited students to engage, and the option for tailored speeds of learning. Learners can also strengthen valuable life skills through more innovative means of education: engagement, self-assessment, and the development of greater self-discipline.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does an online environment impact learning that traditionally requires a hands-on approach? \u00a0 <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the popularity and success of non-physical schooling methods, and perhaps due to the persistence of historical quality and engagement concerns and perceived limitations for practical interaction, general education\u2019s move to online teaching has lagged.

However, teaching applied subjects or classes online is not as daunting as you may think. As with any other class, preparation and engagement are essential, as is the learner\u2019s motivation to participate\u2014here are some helpful reminders and hints.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ensure that your learners are familiar with your online learning software such as our BigBlueButton solution:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To avoid unnecessary delays and difficulties, make sure that your students know how to use the software, particularly video demonstrations, webcam operation, and recording, which will allow you to access their practical work during and after the lesson.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Ask your students to prepare their workstation and gather the necessary items ahead of time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:[2]\u00a0 Allow students time and provide them with clear instructions for what they need and why and how to set up their areas. Two essential items required are a headset and microphone to optimize listening and participation. Provide accurate indications of the time required for the task to manage expectations.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Set realistic tasks:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Of particular concern in large classes is failure to submit assignments. Students are likely to ignore projects that are too difficult or too easy. Setting achievable goals that learners can complete alone with minimal assistance will encourage participation, enjoyment, and completion. Ensure that projects are closely related to the course objectives and meaningful for the student. Assigning a course mark to the task is a reliable way to increase participation and submission.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>For smaller classrooms, follow a phased approach:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To ensure students understand both the task and the sequence of steps involved, employ stages in your demonstration:<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><ul><li aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, show the students the task at an average speed, with limited verbal input.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow this with a slowed-down version, explaining each element in-depth and inviting questions.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now perform the task once more but ask the learners to explain. Rotate learners for each portion of the demonstration. Ask them questions about what they\u2019re doing and why. Repeat this step until learners are comfortable.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, ask students to conduct the task themselves, alone but under your supervision.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>For larger, more diverse classrooms, utilize a combination of approaches: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demonstrate the task to students at an average pace with limited verbal input, followed by a slowed-down version, explaining each element and inviting questions. For this larger audience, ensure your demonstration is impactful and engaging yet effective and efficient. Now have learners complete the task individually or in breakout groups, depending on the size and homogeneity of your class. Our breakout room feature allows you to \u2018pop in&#8217; to each room to gauge performance. A representative from each group can provide feedback once the task is complete, with questions and answers clarifying any problem areas. Utilize our chat system and multi-user whiteboard for discussion. Evaluate individual efforts via a photo of the completed item\/task combined with a survey assessment to confirm understanding.\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Provide detailed instructions: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure each step of the task is represented visually and in writing to help students accurately recreate and practice each step alone. Use our secure sharing and recording features to provide annotated images, a video demonstration, or a lesson recording for your students to review.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Provide feedback and evaluation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Provide feedback soon after submission, giving specific feedback and examples for improvement, if appropriate. Our chat system, whiteboard and emojis allow immediate feedback from the educator or the class. For group efforts, consider peer-review. Learners can again use the whiteboard to comment and our polling facility for a real-time thumbs-up or thumbs-down. Ensure that students know and respect boundaries. If the task is less tangible and more behavioural, such as meditating, have your students complete questionnaires as part of their report.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><b>Incentivize<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: To increase participation, consider offering prizes or entry into competitions.
