| How to Overcome the Challenges of Hybrid Learning |
The unfortunate COVID-19 pandemic caught the world off guard. Strict lockdown measures put in place earlier this year forced schools around the country to close almost overnight. In fact, as of 28 March, more than 1.6 billion children were out of school across 161 countries, that’s close to 80% of the world’s enrolled students. With no plan in place, students and staff had to make do with whatever solutions made sense.
Schools are now starting to make the long-awaited return to the physical classroom but, while we may be returning to some form of normality, educational institutions are under pressure to establish excellent standards for hybrid learning – with educators teaching students in both the classroom and at home. This need to support online learning alongside classroom-based teaching will remain now and into the future so schools need to deliver a consistent learning experience across a hybrid learning environment.
Many teachers and students have been getting by using integrated cameras and speakers found on their computers and laptops, but poor audio and video quality is distracting and can have a negative impact on a student’s ability to < learn. The good news is there are tools available to address this...
While learning at times of uncertainty and complexity can be
challenging, through the right collaboration tools – like high quality
audio and video conferencing solutions – educational institutions can
ensure that these new hybrid experiences are engaging and informative
for all participants, no matter where they are located – now and in the
longer term.
