Online Learning Tools and Platforms : Reelae

We are witnessing a shift from a traditional classroom setup to the vast online universe, with the advent of sophisticated online learning tools and platforms. Experts estimate that the worldwide online learning market will be valued at over three billion dollars by 2025.

The price tag fits the bull! Institutions are now scrambling to leverage the benefits of online learning to optimise their operations and provide the best experience to its users.

The upward trajectory for online learning is not slowing down anytime soon because of the pandemic, the resulting lockdowns have made a strong case for streamlining your online learning experience. Now, online learning is quickly becoming one of the primary ways in which learners attend school, train for jobs, and participate in ongoing training to keep their knowledge and skills relevant.

A study from California State University in San Bernardino found that two different sets of students—one group that studied online and the other that went to class – both groups received the same instruction from the same professor but fared equally well in performance. However, the study revealed that online students were less intimidated about participating, and the quality of interaction between students and the professor was better.

Read on to see how you can jump in and experience the plethora of benefits and features the online learning universe has waiting for you!

Seek out collaborative learning platforms

According to recent studies, learning tends to be most effective when students are in a position to work collaboratively, express their thoughts, debate ideas with their fellow peers and work together on a group solution to a given problem. Even memory retention, one of the bigger issues that plague students, is solved with online collaboration.

To ensure collaboration, you need to have interactive spaces. Platforms, such as Zoom, allow students and teachers to have online classes using video conferencing to foster that collaborative learning environment. Furthermore, forums embedded in online learning platforms can also be used as a teaching tool to encourage discussion amongst students. Online learning, without effective and interactive collaboration, would miss the mark, when providing a comprehensive education.
