With the introduction of technology, numerous innovative techniques of teaching and learning have found their way in the field of education. One such innovation is the method of learning through online courses. Initially, it was thought that online courses are meant only for the use of students doing distance-learning courses, but owing to lockdown, they are becoming popular even amongst the regular students as a tutoring application. Effective online instruction is dependent upon:
- A course content that is well designed
- Motivational interaction between the teachers and learners
- Knowledgeable & efficient teachers
- Creation of an online learning community
- Dynamic technology
Nowadays, not only the students but also the teachers are benefitting out of online courses; there are many online platforms for tutors. These platforms are excellent to share knowledge. Many websites promote online teaching and are willing to pay teachers to upload courses/tutorials on their websites.
Taking tutoring online enables the student to be flexible in the learning process and it personalizes his learning pace and learning goals.
- This makes learning twice as much fun because the handling of digital media is varied for students.
- Online tutoring is very effective and inexpensive.
- Students would rather use online communications for their problems, rather than visiting a faculty in person.
- Students find great comfort in generating email responses rather than meeting in real life.
