A Classroom Interaction Of Student And Faculty

The article summarize the points found in a research based on a case study by Nagel, Cronje and Blignaut. The data gathered by Nagel et al (2009) in their research on an 8 week web based Master’s program. Class participation, online communication, and group assignments were observed. The conclusion made after the research is that modules with discussion forum encourage interaction with peers and the instructor which allow ideas to be shared and learning from peers

(1) What is the book about? It talks about advance application and developments in the online class room. You will find that most new communication technologies were for recreational or personal use. Over time, they have been employed for education and knowledge applications. They examine a variety of applications in detail. The Author also talks about the impact of PowerPoint and Discussion forums. They share ideas for effective questioning strategies in the online class rooms.

This is going to be applied with the use of interactive classes, with forums and discussions with the

Today, educational institutions are faced with several issues that affect their operations. These issues are maintaining an acceptable budget, competing with others institutions to attract and retain students, and provide students with an outstanding education. All of these issues can be address with the use of a virtual computer laboratory (VCL).

As you might know, I was part of an online institution for a long time period of time, and from participating in virtual class to an actual classroom was a great change in my academic career. In Queen of Heaven Academy, I would have to login into Populi, which is an online schooling program, which then I would login in to my desired class that I was scheduled to be in that certain day. Then once I was in my class I would usually wait ten minutes until class started. I always like to arrive at all of my classes early. I would sit at computer for long period of time and I did not really participate at all. If I knew the answer to a question I would click the vital hand and I would give the answer. But there were other times that I would like to give my opinion about some things I was confused with the internet? And most importantly its all done on the internet. Sure it’s a great way to get things done. But there is personal connection between one and the teacher. And the same would be with the students. If one would like to speak in class, one would have to raise his or her virtual hand and then people talk and that’s how everyone socialized in class. There was also a chat box were all the students and the teacher would talk mainly before class. Participating was very hugs. Some teachers would stop in the middle of lecture and start asking if everyone was there. I remember where when six people in my history class were not even responsive out of the twenty students. There is a huge difference when it comes to taking virtual classes online to talking classes in a actual

The reality of being a virtual school teacher is having very little contact time with the student and offering multiple rounds of encouragement and support to finish the course, as some virtual teachers are not paid unless the student finishes the course. Tying a completion rate to a teacher’s salary is a dangerous slope that may lead some teachers to cheat students out of learning only to ensure getting paid. Linda Darling-Hammond wrote in her text of having high standards for competent teachers both in pedagogy and in content. Since all curricular decisions have been made by the virtual copy for the teachers, it seems that a highly skilled workforce would be unnecessary for virtual schools. This is precisely the opposite of what Darling-Hammond proposes in her text. Instead, she calls for teachers who are able to collaborate and conduct action research to ensure learning for all students. Virtual teachers work in isolation most of the time and again, action research couldn’t be completed when being forced to use a prescribed

However, the student won't be getting the important one on one tutoring they need to get through difficult work. Having someone who understands and can help you with the specific issue would benefit all involved, it gives the student social interaction and the person helping a job. Therefore, virtual schools are most definitely not the way, unless you want to miss out on developing key skills for your

XYZ is a district school in Maryland and has experienced a declining dropout rate based on an Annie Casey Foundation Study (2014), and as a result employed the services of a consultant to create a virtual school that offers supplemental programs through a virtual learning environment. The program/ school offering student service similar to Obridge in Massachusetts. The areas the consultant explored included policy, structure, funding, course development, and possible barriers.

Hence, if a person takes any other online class they will not be afforded such interaction. Additionally, in order to partake in such a class one does not simply need to buy the typical classic course tools such as a textbook, pencil or pen and a notebook. Rather, this type of course also requires one to purchase or own a headset with a microphone or a webcam. The reason for this is because one uses it to communicate and further access the class’s various visual aids, see the teacher’s face, and observe the instructor’s body language.

Most of the people could not get their education because they are living very far from their universities and school, even the people who are working in their offices, they could not attend the classes due to their office work, so they can easily take lectures from their offices or home through the web. They provide a communication platform for the trainees who are at some distance. Now a day’s distance learning is becoming popular day by day. A person who is not able to reach the campus can take the lectures sitting at their home. As the world is now a global village technology is enhanced so if used properly, we can take a lot of advantage from it. When we want to deliver education at some distance than E- learning comes into play. E-learning stands for Electronic Learning which is a computer technology that supported education learning at all levels. Nowadays e-learning is a trending topic and it opens the ways of education and made the education flexible shrink the time and cost but ensuring the quality education is a bit tough. In our project the basic objective is the communication platform in which a teacher/trainer would be able to deliver live video lecture to all the students who are enrolled in a program and we need to make sure that the student is attending the lecture properly. And on the basis of attending lecture trainer give some scores (PDA'S) to the trainee. The best part of this project is that this is the real time project.

Virtual Classrooms provides the tools through which you can interact with real people. As they are equipped with voice, text and video messaging. It also provides the tools like resource sharing, polls and whiteboards which are even more interactive for the users.

The skill to deliver course gratified over a Web-based boundary, allowing for completely remote educational involvement for the teacher and student.

Students can sign up for courses and choose a format of learning that suits them best; video, interactive tutorials, hyperlinked textbooks or face-to-face group sessions. (US NEWS) Quizzes are given occasionally to ensure that students are learning the material. There are four different types of E-Learning; Knowledge databases (step by step instructions, few explanations and questions), Online Support (Chat rooms, online bulletin boards, email or live messaging), Asynchronous training (Self paced learning based on CD’s, Networks, internet or the intranet) and Synchronous training (Internet using Real Time - communicate directly with the instructor) (Howstuffworks).
