In 2021, the way of education has changed with online education. Everyone thought that when education first went online due to covid19 restrictions, it would be a temporary change, but here we are almost a year and a half later, and schools are still operating online. The world is still dealing with the aftermath of the pandemic, and education will continue to be available online for the foreseeable future. When compared to 2019, there has been rapid online development and changes in the way that online education is taught.
What are the challenges that all of us face in learning/teaching online?
One of the main obstacles to online learning is a lack of strong and stable internet connections, as the ones commonly used at home have either low bandwidth or have reached their capacity. Because of connectivity issues, students may miss out on some of the instruction. Students may become disoriented if they do not have a friend sitting next to them to check what they have said.
It's difficult to keep students engaged during online lectures without a teacher's physical presence and face-to-face contact. Furthermore, a major concern is linked to science labs (physics, chemistry, etc.), which are impossible to put into practice without in-person instruction and courses that rely heavily on hands-on work.
You may not be able to see your students' reactions as clearly as you would in a face-to-face classroom to determine whether they understand what you're saying.
So, The most common difficulties that students face while taking online classes are:
- Problems with technology/ internet
- Time management and distractions
- staying motivated
- understanding course expectation
- lack of in-person interaction
- Adapting to unfamiliar technology
- Uncertainty about the future

ReplyDeleteAs you said Rawan ,we were all facing these challenges on daily life especially in Lebanon with this bad situation. But as educators we all have the will to be strong and face these challenges with positivity.
ReplyDeleteThanks for what u sharing with us about this topic, since we are facing these challenges in our daily life
ReplyDeleteyou are right, these challenges in our country are building barriers in the learning process for students and waste their studying time, the electricity is not helping students to attend the zoom meetings with the dr. and if the students read the slides onlywithout sharing with teachers, they will not understand and move on.
ReplyDeleteThats right rawan , thank you.
