Because there are few or no physics classrooms and textbooks, teachers may lack effective ways to provide course materials to students. Learning Management System (LMS) provides a method for teachers to automatically manage, deliver and track educational content.
The popular LMS tools in today's market include Schoology Learning, Canvas and Blackboard Learn.
2. Video conference software
In order to promote a more interactive learning environment, teachers and supervisors may want to be able to interact with students in real time during lectures. This will not only allow students to participate, but also allow teachers to answer any questions they may encounter in class. Video conferencing tools enable teachers and students to keep in touch and collaborate in a real-time virtual environment.
Popular video conferencing software used by universities, colleges and tutors include Google EDU, Zoom and Wyzant. Domestic software is ahead of Netease's Youdao Cloud Conference and Tencent Conference.
3. Collaborative software
In distance learning, it is almost impossible to coordinate tasks among many people. Collaborative software enables students and teachers to cooperate with each other and facilitate hands-on guidance.
Some of the most commonly used collaborative software tools include MURAL, which is used for Drawp and Loop in schools.
The most famous one in China is probably the "nail" that was killed by a primary school student and finally begged for mercy on the Internet. It is a great tool for working and studying in the cloud. In addition, Jinshan document and graphite document are also good tools for a group of people to edit a document online, which is very suitable for online collaboration and filling out forms together.
4. Remote access software
Some students may lack the necessary software tools (Adobe, Microsoft Office, etc. ) on their home computer. Remote access software allows students to remotely access and control computers in school labs from their own devices. They can control the school computer in a remote session or even on a Chromebook, and run any school computer software program.
At present, the best educational remote access software is Splashtop for remote laboratories. Splashtop enables schools to give students access to Windows and Mac computers from their own computers, tablets and mobile devices.
5. Remote Support Software
Due to the nature of distance learning, it may be difficult for students and teachers to get help if they encounter technical problems in equipment. Remote support software enables IT technicians to help any device when they need help. Use remote support software to ensure that your teachers and students can solve their problems quickly so that they can continue their studies.
