How To Improve The Quality of Your Online Lessons?

 Online education has a lot of hard parts such as lack of communication, being unable to focus. But there is a way to make your online lessons successful.


Social Presence: In online lessons, students should feel that they are real people not robots. They can't sit down and listen to you for an hour without losing their concentration. To avoid that problem you can use tasks to give your students an active role in classroom. For example, asking your students about their feeling at the moment or giving them a group task can help them to enjoy and focus.

Transactional Presence: It is the sense of being connected to other students. Sharing their ideas with their peers may boost their focus. You can achieve it by asking your students to explain the subject of the day.

Cognitive Presence: By exchanging ideas your students can achieve Cognitice Presence. Students can understand their knowledge by listening the other students in the class. You can give them a group task to discuss about a subject and it will help them to understand their knowledge about the subject.

Teaching Presence: It is defined as the design, facilitation and direction of cognitive and social processes for the purpose of realizing meaningful and educational worthwhile learning outcomes. Teacher needs to prepare tasks beforehand and needs to keep students active during the class. But you shouldn't give all the information in one go, you need to be careful about the cognitive load.

Virtual Reality: VR

Resim
  Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds. By simulating as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, even smell, the computer is transformed into a gatekeeper to this artificial world. The only limits to near-real VR experiences are the availability of content and cheap computing power.  Lots of companies started to produce VR headsets such as Google, Oculus, Sony. We can use VR technology in our classes to create a new approach for teaching language.
