Just a Thought

E-learning has implemented across Bhutan giving importance to the powerful weapon so called education in our day to day life during this pandemic situation.

Today’s learners need various mode to learn particular content. They learn through visual, audio and other different modes. This need is fulfilled with the online mode of teaching. When I reflect upon online teaching and learning of few months, I found some of the students could participate actively and learn fruitfully with the guidance of their parents, whereas some could not participate having no smart phones at home and illiterate parents.

Lesson input has been so light for teachers just preparing teaching learning materials and making videos to deliver the lesson. It reduced time and saved energy as compared to formal mode of teaching. It also helped learners to access the content an unlimited number of times to revise the lesson. Unlike classroom teaching, the assessment been a troublesome for teachers to assess huge number of students through digital mode.

For the e-learning currently practiced in education, we lack the use of 21^st pedagogy practices which has got many important skills in it. The communication skills, group work skills, different feedback strategies, glamorous cheers we use in the classroom and many more strategies of education.

Due to the partial set of benefits some students are benefited while some are demotivated towards learning as per my reflection until now.
