Remote education mainly benefits adults who do not have time to follow a professional program in person and even young people from regions with little university offer. But if you have enrolled in a 100% online study program, you must bear in mind that the teacher responsible for dictating on a digital platform must be trained with differential tools.
“It is not about putting a teacher in front of a computer connected to the Internet and leaving him alone in front of a group of students. An accompaniment team is necessary to enter the classroom and help the teacher to develop its full potential. A technological support area that resolves technical questions 24×7 is also essential.”, commented the specialist, Carlos Villanueva.
The also academic director of Virtual Education of the Universidad Privada del Norte (UPN) mentions some characteristics that a teacher must have to teach in the 100% online modality:
- Technological skills. You can design and use educational platforms, applications, software and digital tools that allow greater interaction between the student and the content of the class.
- Communication skills. The teacher must have effective communication skills to maintain good communication with their students, use interactive learning resources and apply practical cases that connect concepts with contexts and real situations.
- Flexibility and adaptability. You must be willing to adapt to changes and be flexible in your teaching to facilitate the development of student autonomy.
- Training and Certification: Universities provide training and certifications to their teachers so that they are prepared to teach in the virtual modality.
- academic vocation. In addition to the necessary technology skills and knowledge, a commitment and passion for teaching is critical to achieving a meaningful learning experience for students.
For example, Villanuea mentions, “The UPN It is one of the institutions that provides training and certifications to its teachers to perform correctly in its Distance Education program, which is taught 100% remotely”.
In addition, the expert noted that the training consists of the use of tools for pedagogical purposes aligned with the distance learning methodology proposed by the institution.
