Challenges in the online teaching
Several challenges are happening in online teaching. Some of these challenges facing educators include:
Work organization and time managementh
Most teachers are required to move to online teaching almost immediately with no training and tools. Most of them have to use numerous e-learning tools making the whole process overwhelm-ing. They are supposed to attend to students virtually, handle bulk information, and prepare for their teaching strategy. Many teachers find it difficult to adapt to the online learning environment immediately after the traditional classroom learning environment. Teachers who have always been teaching in the traditional classroom mindset are often not able to transfer easily on the online platform.
Technology gap
Not all students and teachers have gadgets to enable them to learn and teach online, respectively. Some are sharing laptops, while other students lag for totally missing these gadgets. Such is giv-ing teachers a hard time keeping all students at the same pace. Very often the causes are econom-ical status of the students and it is important to keep that in mind and try to solve these problems in sensitive and non-offensive way.
Connectivity
Currently, around the world, there is massive use of internet and streaming services. There is an increased use of video streaming software, online learning systems, and digital tools. Many users and potentially your students can have internet problems, poor quality video and audio, down-time, and connection losses between teachers and students. The connection issues may affect the learning process. Many students are not well equipped with the high internet connection that is required for online learning. Due to this, they face problems in going live for virtual learning and other platforms that require an internet connection and the effect of online classes on students. They face technical issues in online classes as they are not much aware of technology and com-puter applications. A slow and high internet connection can play an important role in how quickly you can attend the class and not miss any live sessions. There is a possibility of poor connectivity if you find difficulty in downloading some information related to the subject, blurred videos, etc.
