In 2020, distance learning education has been part of everyday norms and has been escalated even more by the pandemic. Based on EdcationData.org 97% of students had switched to online classes. By April of that year, 98% of schools reported offering fully online learning programs inside and outside the country.
But if you’ve never taken online classes before, you might not know exactly how they differ from on-campus courses. Are they harder than the typical face to face learning session? What’s the best way to stay on track for parents and students? Learn from experts here in Learning Links Academy, and keep reading to get some practical insights about what to expect when taking classes online.
Distance learning or online programs are “real” courses too
When taking online classes, you need to have the discipline to sit down and say, “I am going to work on this,” not only for students but also for parents, because dedication and commitment is a must to actually follow through.
Though online programs can be flexible, you can’t put it off indefinitely. One of the easiest ways to ensure that you and your kids can follow through is to remember that you are paying to take these online programs, just as you would for a traditional, in-person class. You must “show up” if you’re going to get real value out of your online programs especially for the growth of your kid. Remember, to treat online classes the same way you would a face-to-face class and you’ll be off to the right start.
You’re going to need technology and technical support
Online classes can be rewarding but, sometimes it can be too daunting without technical support and without the aid of technology but, don’t fret! Here at Learning Links Academy, our educators are working around the clock to give you the best tools and support that you and your child can use even without technical background.
Our tools allow our teachers and students to focus and be more creative on the lessons that make the programs easier to digest for your child’s growth. Your online courses will most likely be accessed through a personal computer or tablet. Our online course experts recommend taking some time to become acquainted with the platform and utilize any orientation materials prior to class. Having a reliable internet connection and operating system is also crucial to staying on top of your class too.
Time-Management Skills Are Essential
If you’re a busy parent, finding some time and energy to help your child in their online classes can be such a bummer. But, one of the most helpful tips for online classes is creating and sticking to a schedule. In order to succeed in online learning, you must be able to manage your schedules well.
Our expert educators will help you manage your child’s time to ensure that they will accomplish everything required of the class including focusing on all online lessons and participating in all group discussions.
