The fear of contagion affects educational spaces. This statement has flooded various media outlets these weeks.
This fear is due to the feeling of many parents in the world that they are not sure about the decision to send their children to school, since the relevant safety measures are not in place.
Under these circumstances, online education has become very strong in the last few months, becoming a very important catalyst in the face of the pandemic.
In this article, we want to share with you 7 benefits that virtual education has in the middle of the pandemic.
1- Virtual education makes available unlimited resources for continuous learning, as well as access to diverse academic materials remotely. This means that direct interaction is not necessary.
2- It promotes individualized learning. This implies that direct interaction is not necessary to learn the subject, but that the student guarantees his/her learning in a virtual way and applies collaborative learning by sharing his/her knowledge. Of course, all this is done through the guidance of teachers and a virtual platform that meets the academic needs of each student.
3 – The geographical factor is not a limitation; you can study from home complying with the measures of isolation without putting yourself at risk of contagion.
4- Today online education is fun and didactic. There are audiovisual and gamma elements, which allow each student to enjoy their training process.
5- Self-learning elements are developed. In traditional institutions, students form an image of dependence in their learning, that is, they depend on a person who constantly motivates them to fulfill their educational responsibilities. In virtual education, this element is different, since students have a very important role in their training because they have the opportunity to choose how to study and what resources to use.
6- Bullying is reduced, since students are not subject to criticism for their appearance, way of speaking, etc.
7- The advance or progress in the study objectives is given in an individual way, avoiding competition among others in an unhealthy way.
These are some of the benefits. Online education is as effective as conventional education, so it should not surprise you that in the future one will surpass the other, as it has been doing in recent months.
Virtual education is a tool. As an online school, we believe that the future lies in virtuality; perhaps not 100% because the interaction is important, but it will have a great role in the education of human beings as it has been doing in recent years.
