When the COVID-19 pandemic onslaught lives, properties and businesses, the schools especially higher education suffered also.
In an article published by Avaya, higher education faced some challenges when online learning started such as rising tuition costs, decreasing numbers of students, and not having enough staff.
One of the solutions they saw to the problems mentioned above is to dive into digital technologies. As the saying goes “go with the flow”, higher education should adapt to new ways of the new normal.
In this article, you will know what strategies should higher education implement when conducting online learning.
As the world is already immersed in “all things online”, schools should also adapt to this one in terms of delivering lectures, disseminating materials, and giving exams and quizzes.
Here are the 4 strategies we listed for you:
As a professor, you can form student groups to work together on projects that align with their interests, skills, and learning styles.
You can also provide separate meeting spaces for students who require a quiet environment or extra time to work independently. With the help of video conference cameras such as Coolpo AI Huddle Pana, Coolpo AI Huddle Mini, or Coolpo Mini Lite, you can easily hop in and assist them as needed.
Here are some ways how your school can enhance the quality of education that your students can get:
As an institution, it is important to ensure that all campus resources are easily accessible as you shift to a hybrid in-person/virtual model. The online accessibility that was implemented during the pandemic has resulted in improved student retention and enrollment.
By implementing a cloud communications solution, you can ensure that students and faculty, including professors, administrative workers, and counselors, can connect with the right person at the right time, even when they are learning or working remotely. It will help to improve the online learning experience and remote work environment.
One way to provide teachers with more autonomy in their work style in online learning and teaching is by allowing them to choose their teaching methods and tools.
For example, a teacher could choose to use a combination of pre-recorded lectures, online discussions, and virtual office hours to deliver their lessons, or they could choose to use a specific online learning platform or tool that they are comfortable with.
Additionally, providing teachers with professional development opportunities and training on different teaching methods, tools, and resources, can help them to increase their autonomy in their work style.
As a teacher, professor, or instructor, you should have a good video conference camera that gives high-quality video and crisp audio when delivering your lessons online. One example of a good video conference camera is the Coolpo AI Huddle Pana.
The Pana is a 360 conference camera that has a wide-angle FOV that could capture all corners of your room. It also has 4 smart microphone that picks up to 15ft which your students can still hear you even if you’re 15ft away from your Coolpo device.
What’s good also with our Pana is that it supports 4k video conference solutions so expect a clear and high-quality video when using this. This is compatible with almost all of the mainstream video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Skype, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, etc.
If you want to configure your Coolpo device, it is advisable to download our Coolpo Tools.
