Edtech consultant QuattroOne is prepared to answer your questions about setting up a modern hybrid classroom.
What changes have occurred in classroom learning due to the pandemic?
The pandemic has significantly transformed the learning landscape, pushing schools to adopt hybrid models that blend traditional and digital learning. Before the pandemic, only 1% of students attended online schools, but during the peak, around 80% of teachers were teaching remotely. This shift has led to a greater reliance on technology, with many schools now integrating digital solutions into their curriculums to enhance educational continuity and equity.
What are the main challenges teachers faced during remote learning?
Teachers faced several challenges, including a significant increase in time spent troubleshooting technology issues, which reduced their actual teaching time by 71%. Many teachers were limited to using their laptop's built-in camera for lessons, and 44% of students reported dissatisfaction with the audio and video quality of remote sessions, making it harder for teachers to engage and connect with their students.
How can technology improve student engagement in hybrid learning?
Technology can play a crucial role in improving student engagement by providing high-quality audio and video solutions. For instance, intelligent video technology can enhance the learning experience by ensuring clear visuals and sound, which helps maintain student focus. Additionally, tools that allow for recording and revisiting lessons can support asynchronous learning, giving students the flexibility to engage with content at their own pace.
