20 Reasons for the Rising Surge in Online Classes/Learning



Reasons why online classes is on the rise


In the last few years, the world has experienced a rising surge in online classes. Every of the key stakeholders- learners, teachers and parents- are appreciating the need to embrace online learning.

The most commonly-used terms in many educational frontiers today are edtech,
e-learning, digital literacy, tech-driven education, remote classes etc.

…and you wonder why the surge!

Online classes are so flexible and meet the growing needs of both learners, teachers and parents- who form the key stakeholders- in this digital revolution.

Every school owner needs to understand this and flow along. As a school owner or a district head, have you asked why?

Let me show you why online classes have become the in thing and will remain so in the coming years.


For Learners:
Online classes offers them:

Accessibility from everywhere and at all times: With online class, school children can access learning contents from anywhere in the world.

Self-paced and personalized learning: Learners can now learn at their own pace as well as personalize learning, whichever be their learner group.

The use of digital devices aligns with their digital native status: Today’s learners are of digital natives; hence online classes, which make use of digital devices, make learning interesting to them.

More updated contents: Learning online grants school children access to more updated contents. A lot of what is used today in an offline setting are outdated contents.

Interactive nature of online courses: The use of different multimedia tools in online classes makes it so interactive and appealing to today’s learners. Today’s learners are getting tired of the conventional theory-based rhetoric that characterize offline learning.

Development of relevant skills: Learning online is a form of digital literacy, which helps learners develop relevant skills for the future of work.

Cross cultural interaction in learning: Today’s learners have unlimited access beyond cultural boundaries. It’s now very easy for a student from say, Nigeria to learn from and interact with peers from other parts of the world, without leaving the shores of his/her country.

For Teachers
Online classes offers them:

Connection to the global community of teachers and learners: Teachers can now interact with as well learn from their counterparts from every part of the globe. Today’s teachers now have the entire global citizens as their potential students.

Improving brand visibility: There are quite number of teachers, who are doing great work in their various locations, yet unrecognized and unrewarded. But online classes help to improve their brand visibility as their works are now visible to the world at large.

Improving their 21st century relevance: We are in a digital revolution! This simply means that it takes a teacher being a digital literate to be relevant in today’s educational environment. When teachers teach online, they develop and improve such relevance.

Developing of communication, creative and collaboration skills: Teachers who teach online easily develop communication, creative, critical thinking and collaborative skills, which form the core components of digital literacy.

Time saving and convenience: Online classes are more time-saving and convenient for teachers. It takes less time to prepare and update lesson plans, set and grade students’ assessment tests etc- when teaching online than it is with offline system. Besides, you can always work at your own convenience.

Less stress: When teachers master the right tips for preparing online classes, they begin to enjoy a less-stress educational environment.

So many helpful tools to create online courses: Teachers who teach online have access to unlimited wealth of helpful tools and materials to create their lessons. Most of these tools help teachers to automate their works.

Multipurpose usage of a single course: One thing about online classes is that once you prepare a material for a particular class, you can use the same material- with little or no additional labour- to teach in so many other classes. You can also convert your online class materials to other usage.

Income generation: Today’s teachers should seek for second income options, and one of such easy ways to do this is to convert their digital contents to cash. Every single work a teacher does online can be a source of a lifetime income for that teacher.


For Parents
Online classes offers them:

Cost saving and convenience: Usually, those who oppose the idea of online classes will always tell you that it’s a costly venture. But those of us in edtech knows that it’s not true. In online classes, parents pay less for more.

Alternative measures in the wake of global crisis like covid-19 pandemic: In the wake of global crisis, like the current Covid-19 pandemic, leading to sudden shut down of schools, online classes remain the best alternative for parents to have their children educated. Aside, Covid-19, there are other imminent global crisis that would force school children to remain at home for long. This is where online classes play a huge part. Parents just love it.

Digital literacy development: When children lean online, they usually do it with the help of their parents at home. Hance, by helping and monitoring their wards, parents get to develop digital literacy skills. This is an added advantage.

Real time assessment of their wards' academic abilities: With online classes, it’s now very easy for parents to assess their wards’ academic abilities, without relying only on the end-of-term report from their wards’ schools. Such real time feedback helps parents to intervene in time where need be.

The world is ripe for online learning. Whether you call it edtech, e-learning, digital literacy etc, the issue is this: we need to all encourage it and work towards improving the lot of online classes.

This is not the time to play the Ostritch as a school owner/manager or district head.

The time is now! Plug into it…

Creating Wealth in Crisis Time: SFI Template for Teachers

How to create wealth with SFI



                                                                                                                                        
Do you know that a lot of persons create wealth in crisis time?

At the same time when many others are moaning, mourning, worrying and complaining and existing businesses collapsing, new businesses are springing up, while others are making more money.

What makes the difference? The perfect understanding of what works in a crisis time.

Crisis time always bring about changes in how things are conventionally done, be it in business, academia etc. If you can understand that paradigm changes and align with it, you’re most likely to succeed in a crisis time.


Covid-19 and the current global crisis

We are living in the most critical time in world’s history. Covid-19 pandemic has devastated our world. But be sure of this: it’s not the end of the world!

One thing this Covid-19 pandemic has done is the collapsing of the macroeconomic structures, thereby crushing the controlled economic systems of the world.

But we have to understand this: while wealth is leaving the coffers of a controlled economic system, it is nonetheless moving into another hand- the private citizens of the world.

The begging question now should be, “How do I position myself to share in this transfer of wealth?” 

This question should matter so much to teachers, who are majorly in the low income bracket. In fact, if this pandemic lasts (as it is likely), many teachers don’t have any other source of income to sustain themselves and their families.

This is the time to create wealth!


Wealth Creation Models that Work

It’s not every kind of wealth creation model that works in a crisis time like the current Covid-19 pandemic. Remember, government policies and guidelines at such a time as this would have bearing on people’s choices and behavioral changes.

In the last few weeks, there are unprecedented rise in online search for ‘money-making opportunities’. Hence, if you have idea of how to create a genuine income, this is the right time to promote your offers.

Within this same period too, there has been a steady rise in online purchases. Businesses that have online spaces have recorded a massive boost in sales.

Do you also notice that a lot of persons are searching for ‘how tos’ articles on growing businesses, learning a relevant skill for survival etc.

What does the foregoing teach you as a global citizen; more so, as a teacher in the low-income ladder?

Leveraging Edtech in Times of Social Crisis: Brighton Gate Academy, Port Harcourt leading the way!


Edtech Support in times of social crisis




Brighton Gate Academy - Home | Facebook



At a time when many schools in Nigeria and other parts of Africa are still dazed over the shutdown of schools, occasioned by the ravaging Covid-19 pandemic, Brighton Gate Academy, a coeducational private school in Port Harcourt, Nigeria has embraced the tech innovation to  keep going where others are worrying.

One thing a lot of persons don't know is that aside covid-19 and its ravaging impact on our socioeconomic order, there are other growing current and imminent crisis situations that would disrupt our conventional ways of doing things.

The question is, even in the post covid-19 era, how prepared are you to curtail the unfavourable impacts of these social crisis on your business as a school owner?

This is why I doff my hat for the management and staff of the Brighton Gate Academy. They were proactive enough to foresee these days.

In one of my private chat with the HOS, Pastor Dan L., he told me:

"You see, I have always perceived this! I know there's going to be a disruption to our conventional order; and that's why we have been working out solutions on how to integrate tech in our administrative, teaching and learning processes all these while. The whole thing did not take us by surprise... We are ready!"
Of course, they're ready.

Not just the management, but the teachers, parents and students are ready.

We observe all these while our edtech team trains them.

So the question again, 'Are you ready'?

Your Readiness Defined

As a school owner/manager or district head, you need to build a system that guarantees both growth and sustainability in times of social crises.

  • A system that would help you reduce the cost of running school in this period of  the collapse of the macroeconomic structures;
  • A system that would help you scale up income with what you already have;
  • A system that can still provide service for your stakeholders effectively even in the midst of lock-down and shutdown;
  • A system that raises learners with skills for the future job.

We are in a Digital Revolution, and edtech is that system.

The EduTEaCH- Africa has created a solution pack for schools, especially African schools to plug into this system.

You can get in touch with us for a COMPLETE SOLUTION PACK TRAINING FOR YOUR SCHOOL,  at info@teachertechafrica.com.ng
