Education has changed a lot since the introduction of technology. From traditional classroom-style classes to self-paced online learning, learning and development (L&D) methods have evolved to accommodate a variety of preferences and styles of learning. One such method is live learning online that provides an interactive and more collaborative experience for learners. Before you choose the best method for your business it is important to understand how this approach differs from the more familiar format of pre-recorded classes.
What is live learning?
Live learning online as the name implies is a kind of online learning that allows students to communicate in real time with their instructors and peers through a videoconferencing program such as Zoom. Live classes differ from other online learning processes because they focus on real-time communication between students and instructors. This allows learners to solve any questions and encourages an understanding of the material.
To maximize the effectiveness of live classes, instructors must plan their classes according to the goals and objectives set in their overall course design. For instance, instructors should ensure that the exercises in each Live Session add value to the assigned readings or recorded videos by defining, elaborating and applying and debating them.
Additionally, students who are in live classes can make stronger bonds with their peers and instructors through group discussions and collaborations, which helps students stay focused throughout the course. This is especially crucial for difficult subjects such as math, chemistry, Russian or Arabic or web programming that require a high level of interaction and understanding.
