After one semester, what is missing in our online class

  Although online classes have made me more efficient, I am still looking forward to the fall semester. When the wind on the beach is blowing, we can go back to the classroom, occasionally meet on campus, and experience the wind and rain together. Watch the first winter. Snow floated outside the window.

  This is the end of a semester of online classes. Before the start of semester, our school is like a big enemy, online training, questionnaire surveys and live testing, from the first colleagues to ask each other when to end the online class, after one semester, I have gradually become accustomed to online teaching.

  At the end of the class, I asked a few students how they felt about the online class: "I feel like I have gone to a TV university, can I get a discount on tuition?" "The online class is so cool, please come next semester." In fact, after taking one or two classes, you can find that the efficiency of logging in to "Cloud Space" is much higher than that of going to the classroom. No need to hum and hum to find classrooms in a maze-like teaching building, and no need to reserve commuting time, let alone stand up two or three hours in a row with a dry tongue, and there is no even the usual "late class" nightmare Up.

  Students who have morning classes don’t have to worry about whether to get up 20 minutes early and have breakfast first. There are some clever ghosts who only need to have a screen recording software to replay all the content after class. What "notes are not written down" "Teacher" Speaking too fast" is not a problem at all. In addition to the school's online courses, all kinds of off-campus online courses and lectures by famous experts suddenly disappeared from time and space. The knowledge barriers in the past have become invisible, can they not be popular?

  There is no doubt that online classes are the gospel for people with social phobia. The online class shows for 5 minutes and the class is busy for an hour. The honest and kind college students suddenly carried heavy idol burdens on their backs for the few minutes when the video was released, and they had to set a beauty level. As a veritable social fear patient, I deal with every student who does not want to turn on the camera from the bottom of my heart. I use a shared courseware screen plus voice live broadcast without opening the video. Everyone returned to pure academic exploration, and the classroom atmosphere was peaceful.

  However, after a semester, I will always feel that there is something missing in this class. There is a concept in communication called "contextual clues", and similar concepts include "communication clues" and "social presence theory". This theory believes that all information in real space is a kind of clue. Daily communication carries information not only in words, but also tone, expression, posture, smell, space, etc., which can only be captured in face-to-face communication. Information. This rich information builds a sense of presence for us through different perception channels, allowing us to better understand the situation and the people in the situation. For example, when asking questions in class, dodge eyes and bowed heads, when answering questions, Trump or Northeastern dialects full of joy, body language shaking his head and shaking his head when speaking in class, and some teachers suddenly roll up their sleeves as if to Let's do a big job, these are the "human flavors" in the real classroom.

  The online class filters this information equally. You can't see the most popular hairstyles, you can't see the most exquisite girls, students no longer talk about the teacher's dress up today, and you can't even walk around the classroom. When I moved the list of meetings with my hand, all I saw were pale codes such as "name + grade + major". Yes, it is the last stubbornness of teachers to require students to change their real names in online classes.

  Online classrooms are not always boring. When the camera is turned on, you will feel like you are entering the "Exchange Space" scene. In this year's postgraduate online interview, the test discipline requires candidates to answer in a real space. I saw the North Home The big radiator in the south, the exquisite Eight Immortals table in the south, the cross-stitch "home and everything" above the sofa, and the air-conditioning cover with lace. The background information of these real spaces will make you feel deeply responsible and remind you of your face It's not a student, but every family member who worked hard to raise this child.

  Even if it’s just an audio live broadcast, there are always some happy car rollover incidents. Some students forget to turn off the microphone. I have heard the voice of grandma urging grandson to eat. My mother comes back from work and asks why he is playing all day long. computer. The online class is probably really happy. Many people like to hum in class. According to legend, in a physical education class, a student hummed a class of "riding my beloved motorcycle", which was accompanied by obsessive-compulsive disorder. , A student has to check whether the voice is turned off countless times in each class. In addition, there are rivers and lakes in places where there are people, and online classes follow with various course groups, small groups, notification groups, and spit groups. One group is a face, so there are always unlucky children. It was a tragedy to accidentally put Tucao's words in the course group.

  Jaspers said that education is one cloud pushing another cloud, one tree shaking another tree, one soul awakening another soul. In my opinion, in real-time education, it is not easy to turn the wind into the rain, but it is even more difficult to moisturize things silently through online classes. It is difficult for people to dig their hearts out in front of the computer. The classroom must be communication and communication, interpersonal communication involving both parties. At the time when knowledge acquisition channels are becoming more and more developed, teachers not only transfer knowledge, but also experience some time and space with each other with students. The time spent together and the stories in time make us more connected and closer to each other.

  Although online classes have made me more efficient, I am still looking forward to the fall semester. When the wind on the beach is blowing, we can go back to the classroom, occasionally meet on campus, and experience the wind and rain together. Watch the first winter. Snow floated outside the window.
