My challenge with the students

Feeling disconnected with students at times in online environment.  Technology may be connecting students and teachers on the online platform.  However, sometimes addressing students using an online tool (virtual meeting). I feel disconnected because there won’t be any response from the students.  The cameras of students will be off (maybe due to bandwidth issues).

 

My solution

I post video lectures instead of conducting online classes.  I keep the window open for questions by attending the virtual class (during the allotted time – my schedule).

In this way, students can revisit the video lectures and learn more.  They can comeback to me if they have any doubts or questions or clarifications.

I believe in having a dialogue with my students that a monologue.  The gap due to non-response from my students in a virtual class is filled by video lectures and question/answer hour during online class.
