DISTANCE EDUCATION

"The purpose of education is to sharpen intelligence, strengthen willpower and refine feelings." - Tan Malaka

Hello Reader!!

What Are Online Schools?

Online school learning is a learning method that uses an internet-based interactive model and a Learning Management System (LMS). Like using Zoom, Google Meet, and others. Unlike online, the offline learning system is a learning system that requires face-to-face learning.

Distance learning has many pros and cons from among the people. especially among students who are still in elementary and junior high schools, the main cause is the lack of attention of students so that it is difficult to understand learning and also parents who still find it difficult to use technology.

As for the kinds of methods used during this distance learning, including:

1. E-Learning

This online learning method is generally used by educational institutions from Senior high school to universities. This e-Learning is website-based, so both students and teachers must access the website first. In this system, the interaction will be in text form. Students can ask directly about the material being taught. Later the teacher can also answer questions from students on the website, the concept is like chatting.

2. Videos

Video learning is an interactive learning solution. Learning through video can be said to be useful only for explanation. Because there is no interaction between teachers / lecturers and students. In the video, there will usually be an explanation of the material to be studied. With videos, students will understand better especially by being given direct examples or illustrations. This video can later be shared via E-Learning, email or others.

3. Video conference

Video conferencing is the same as video calls, where teachers and students can interact over long distances. Today, there are applications such as ZOOM which are commonly used for online learning. With this application, many people can participate directly to listen to explanations from teachers who also use the same application.

4. Module

Modules are also currently selected for distance learning. Usually this module is in the form of a pdf so that students can open it through their laptop or cellphone. This module can be a guide for students to learn. Because there is no teacher, students must be independent in studying the material in the module. This will also ensure students continue to study even if there is no teacher supervising them.

We miss face-to-face learning with friends at school and it is true that face-to-face learning makes it easier for students to understand lessons and will not be constrained by networks such as distance learning and my difficulties were there, it was difficult to understand the learning especially coupled with the inadequate network during the video conference, but I tried to solve it by asking friends who could listen well to all the lessons that had been taught and kept trying until I understood the lesson. Distance learning is new to us but once it gets used to it it becomes easy.
