Future of online teaching worldwide with applyteachingjobs.com

One may be under the impression that since ancient times, teaching learning process is a face-to-face process and there can be no alternative to it. The number of students may vary; however, there cannot be the right kind of impact unless the student confronts the teacher. The same thing might have been imagined regarding shopping. Shopping invariably meant going out in person, visiting shop after shop, inspecting goods, comparing prices, seeing and feeling the goods and so on. Yet, more than half the world today shops online. A similar changeover can be experienced in the teaching field. A large number of people have accepted the online teaching mode fir sheer convenience. Online teaching has established itself as a mode in practice firmly.

Online teaching has the following benefits that we do not get in the conventional mode of teaching:

•    One saves time and money on transport.
•    Archived teaching sessions can be accessed any time and from anywhere.
•    The talents of a teacher in any part of the world are available to students all over the world.
•    Safety of students is an important concern nowadays; nobody can be trusted.
•    Teachers can reach out to a wider community of students.
•    It affords considerable flexibility in work timings and workload.
•    Teaching sessions for various subjects can be prepared beforehand and used repeatedly.
•    One has a choice of subjects and topics to be taught.
•    Certain problems like class control are associated with classroom teaching and they can be avoided in online teaching.


Individual tutoring

Till recent times, there was a trend of attending extra coaching classes for difficult subjects. These classes are also overcrowded, even more than school rooms, making it impossible for teachers to pay individual attention. There exists an unhealthy competition among the classes, which are commercial institutes. They are established for making huge profits and not for improving the quality of learning.
With online teaching, students can get one teacher who solely devotes the time to one student. Neither the teacher nor the student is required to leave the house. Teachers are more comfortable teaching one student at a time. It is bound to fetch good results and satisfaction. One does not have to pay enormous amounts for this service; the rates are reasonable and payment is made only for the sessions conducted.

Teachers can pay proper attention to the progress of the student and change the teaching method if necessary. A good rapport is established between students and teachers who have repeated sessions with each other, leading to still better results.

Group teaching

This is mostly done via institutions. Students from different parts of the world studying the same course log in at a given time. They can communicate with each other and with the teacher from the user board. Teachers are provided with facilities like ppt presentation and whiteboard. Students can ask questions by typing them in the chat box provided. Teachers can answer one student or all the students as per the situation.

Most institutions that provide distance learning programmes conduct online teaching sessions through specially designed studios.

A bright future for online teaching

Working students pursue distance learning courses and can spare just enough time for the online teaching sessions.

•    Safety of school going children is a concern in modern times.
•    In metro cities, distances are too long.
•    Almost everybody has access to a computer and internet; it does not involve much costs.
•    Teachers can work at any time in 24 hours as per their convenience.
•    More and more people are switching to online transactions of every kind.
•    Teachers can confront the students and make teaching almost as effective as conventional teaching, only the confrontation is virtual and not real.
