Distance Learning & Virtual Classrooms 1- Dr. Ayman Hussein 2- Dr. Nermin Gamal Introduction The primary objective of distance learning is to conquer barriers of place and time. Institutions, distance instructors, and distance learners need to reexamine how and where learning occurs, their roles and daily tasks within the technological learning environment. This course highlights the educational facilities included in different online learning application, such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco WebEx, & Google classroom…. etc Goals Different technologies have been utilized to defeat the distance between the instructor and the student. Utilizing these technologies, the educator prepares the educational content and sends it to the student, and the student then, at that point, interact with the content and sends input (questions, tasks, tests) to the instructor. As technologies have improved, so has the quality of this communication. What is distance learning? Distance education refers to any type of distance education in which the student is not physically present for the class. Students can receive formal education from a distance (away from the campus/instructor location) through distance education. Digital tools are used to interact with the instructor and peers. Distance learning is a method of instructing pupils via the internet. Lectures and educational materials are delivered via the internet Instead of working in a classroom Types of Distance learning 1. Video conference 2. Synchronous learning 3. Asynchronous learning 4. Open schedule online courses 5. Fixed-time online courses 6. Hybrid distance education Video conference Is a popular tool for teachers to communicate with students in real-time classes. Synchronous learning When all of the students are learning at the same time (and often in the same location), but the instructor is in a different location, this is known as “synchronous learning”. Alternatively, or, if the students are interacting at the same time, but from different physical locations. Asynchronous learning It means that the teacher and the student are most likely on different schedules and are not in direct communication. Students are assigned learning tasks with deadlines and are sometimes referred to as being location independent. They then go to self-study in order to accomplish the homework. Open schedule online courses Another layer of flexibility is provided by online classes. It's similar to an asynchronous course, only there aren't any deadlines. This is great for students who have other activities, such as working professionals or stay-at-home parents. Hybrid distance education Is a type of blended learning in which students learn the same material in real-time (synchronous distance learning), but some of them are physically present while others learn remotely Benefits of Distance learning Flexible: choosing the time, place, and medium for student education, students can decide when, where, and how they learn Easy Access: Some pupils do not have basic access to educational facilities, whether because of their rural location or because they are differently abled Low Cost: The cost of education is being driven down by distance learning How does Distance learning work?
