How online schooling improves student performance and teaching quality

For decades, online schooling has been envisaged as an added marketing tool to attract students and parents than an opportunity to enhance academic delivery. Also, the Indian Education System has been averse to adapting technology and has felt comfortable inside the four walls of a classroom. Hybrid learning was a less-heard word and ‘Education’, a low experiment sector. 

But earlier this year, a calamity broke loose on the planet that forced rigid businesses including education to evolve, making technology a necessity overnight. In the beginning, this shift was considered as a temporary alternate but as the crisis snowballed, school management around the world got certain that online schooling is going to stay for long, perhaps longer than they calculated. In the absence of a reliable vaccine, parents will avoid sending their kids to schools.

As schools shift online, management, and parents both realised the relevance and efficiency of online schooling- it was much more than a respite. They realised technology is not only a way to survive but if put strategically can be used to make a school thrive.

Is online schooling a breakthrough the sector needed? 

Keeping in mind multiple school operations, its processes, and functions, a lot of schools opted for a seamless integrated academic platform. Quelling the urgency of quality in school administration and learning, the School Management System accompanied by the Learning Management System proved to be a breakthrough.

All the misconceptions about online schooling or technology shed as soon as schools deployed this smart way of learning.

Online schooling was never this efficient, result-oriented, or engaging. Where parents’ involvement in their wards’ academic surged, students’ engagement factor soared too. Online learning has facilitated this with its seamless integrated system which is a culmination of quality resources and materials required to enhance learning. Schools witnessed phenomenal results and record admission numbers.

Delivering high-quality learning will continue to be one of the top parental expectations from schools during these frequent interruptions. With the limited income that parents receive, they will choose to send their children to schools that are innovative and can adapt to challenges. Therefore, schools need to make choices that will ensure that student learning is given high priority.

Also various quality integrated academic systems provide teacher training courses that enable teachers to provide seamless education to students. These courses not only help teachers to enhance their teaching patterns but also equip them with the requisite skills to empower them to assist students with the challenges of online learning. This encompasses easing their learning pattern and helping them deal with stress. Nowhere in a traditional classroom space a teacher got trained to deal with these two important factors. According to Eric Falt, UNESCO New Delhi Director, “The pandemic is causing significant psychological impact worldwide. For children who were already dealing with mental health issues before, this sort of disruption can lead to even more difficulty in the path to a good education.”
