Tech Tools for Interactive Remote Teaching Webinar
In addition to offering a highly accessible, easy-to-use, and low-connectivity platform for teachers, WhatsApp is also an excellent tool for community-based learning. Around the world, non-profit groups leverage WhatsApp to disseminate free learning resources to marginalized children. They often deploy WhatsApp content in multiple formats to provide broader and more equitable learning opportunities for children who lack learning and development resources.
Unlike traditional classroom learning, which is often one-way and reactive, WhatsApp is much more dynamic and proactive. Learners can not only listen to, watch and learn from their teachers from the safety of their own homes; they can also access numerous resources and materials in real-time to solidify their learning. Furthermore, they can complete assessments at home under the supervision of a parent or guardian, submit them to the teacher, and even discuss them via a class with WhatsApp. These benefits enable deeper, community-oriented learning that creates better results in learning retention and knowledge up-gradation.
Advantages of WhatsApp in education:
Stimulates a dynamic learning environment
Facilitates rich interactions and 24×7 learning even outside the classroom
Encourages real-time communication between teachers and students, and teachers and parents
Fosters collaboration between students so they can learn better together
Share educational resources to match the learning styles and needs of different students
