How students learn online

Teach students to fully understand the advantages of using online learning

The trinity model of "writing on the blackboard, explanations, and exercises" seems to have become the standard template for traditional teaching. After students are tired of this same and boring teaching method, the new concept of online teaching itself has made their eyes shine. Coupled with the vivid pictures, realistic sounds, rich software functions and information all over the world on the Internet, these are the motivation points for students to use the Internet to learn.

Experimental psychologist Chirutra conducted a famous psychological experiment. He confirmed through a large number of experiments: "83% of the information obtained by humans comes from vision and 11% from hearing. The two together add up to 94, and 3.5 comes from the sense of smell, 1.5 comes from the sense of touch, and 1 comes from the sense of taste. “Multimedia technology has both vision and hearing, and it can be operated by yourself. Obviously, we can draw the following conclusion: The amount of information obtained through multimedia technology, which integrates various senses, is much better than the traditional single lecture.

The advantages of online learning also include: saving costs, improving efficiency, no time and space restrictions, repeatable learning, diverse learning methods, active self-centered learning, real-time interactive communication, etc. Students can pay only low network fees and arrange their time to control the course progress and learning methods according to their own learning requirements, the degree of mastery and their learning interests, so as to achieve the best learning results. Because the Internet is magical, no matter where you are, as long as you have a computer and use any method to access the Internet, you can quickly obtain almost all the information you need, and you can exchange information more conveniently and extensively.

“The master leads the door, and the practice lies within oneself.” What our teachers should do is to slowly infect students with the advantages of online learning they feel during the teaching process, and guide them into the Internet Go and experience this advantage personally, and then continue to explore more functions of online learning in your future studies and work, and use them for your own use. This is the real life-long skill that our students should master.

Cultivate students’ interest in using the Internet to learn

“Ordinary teachers teach students to read, and excellent teachers teach students to love reading.” The famous educationist Comenius advocated Among the principles of teaching methods, there is a very important "principle of interest and spontaneity". He believes that students' desire for knowledge is actually very natural, so they cannot be forced to learn through coercion and punishment. Teaching should be made easy and enjoyable. Every possible means should be used to stimulate a strong desire for knowledge and learning. Don't make students feel bored, otherwise they will lose the motivation to continue learning and lose the best source of motivation for teaching students. Interest is the best teacher. The multimedia effect of the Internet itself has attracted the attention of many students, making the originally boring teaching become more colorful. If teachers use more vivid and interesting network effects in the teaching process to replace traditional teaching methods, it will be very easy for students to become "fascinated" by online learning.

For example, when I was teaching the knowledge point of the standard coordinate system of VB, I first led the students to visit some beautifully designed websites on the Internet. As they browse these sites, have them observe how the mouse on these sites differs from what we normally see. The students were surprised to find that these mice all had tails, some with a long string of colorful little stars, some that twinkled, some that changed colors, and some that were not ordinary arrow shapes, etc. The students all rushed to discuss what new discoveries they had made. Obviously they are very interested in this novel thing and want to learn this skill quickly. At this time, if I implement theoretical teaching, they will no longer be bored, but will listen very carefully. Every time a student was the first to demonstrate a novel effect, he would always show off his results loudly to other students, which in turn inspired their desire to use the Internet to learn more and more complex VB skills.

Just like the teaching of other courses, teachers must use the Internet to show them some wonderful and novel things, fully stimulate students' curiosity, and guide them into the magical new world of online learning.

Teach students to use some auxiliary teaching software

This is to cultivate students' adaptability and ability to solve practical problems. In the information age, the frequency of knowledge updates is accelerating and the cycle is greatly shortened. At the same time, the knowledge itself is highly integrated and the penetration and intersection of various disciplines make personal adaptability and the ability to solve practical problems become particularly important. In the past, the teaching strategy of blindly exam-oriented teaching and teaching only what was tested can no longer keep up with the pace of the Internet age. We must additionally teach our students some new knowledge that is beyond the scope of textbooks and exams. For example, the most basic word, excel, powerpoint, frontpage, dreamwaver, etc., as well as flash, photoshop and other practical software with a wide range of applications, and furthermore, asp, jsp, java and other common tools for making dynamic web pages in web pages. While teaching book knowledge, teachers should also teach and guide these auxiliary learning software that can help students develop in an all-round way. Of course, we cannot just throw away the textbooks and blindly instill extracurricular knowledge. Instead, we should approach it step by step, interspersed with the teaching of textbook knowledge, and teach it appropriately according to the students' acceptance level. And because the teaching time in the classroom is limited, the key to what teachers do is to introduce extracurricular knowledge, and more of it still depends on students to practice on their own in their spare time. This is why it is necessary to vigorously cultivate students' interest in online learning at the beginning.

Only in this way can students adapt to the rapid development of the network society. This will not lead to the dilemma of being overwhelmed when facing the society and needing to demonstrate certain skills, clinging to book knowledge and being unable to do anything, and facing certain practical requirements of recruiters.

Instruct students how to use the Internet to study on their own

In the information age, all kinds of things are changing rapidly, and the speed of development is just like the development of computers themselves. It is quite amazing, and it also gives us had a huge impact on life. And we must adapt faster and better to the impact of this change. "Live and learn" and "lifelong learning" are no longer just wishes. With the help of the Internet, they have actually come to us. So how do we seize the tool (the Internet) that is at hand to truly experience this kind of "lifelong learning"? That depends on the students themselves. No matter how highly qualified a teacher is, how profound his knowledge is, or how hard he tries to impart everything to his students, there will eventually come a time when his talents will be exhausted. Therefore, it is more important for an excellent teacher to guide students well on how to use the Internet for self-study. "Teach a man to fish rather than teach him to fish" is the truth.

The Internet provides us with a very good platform, which is all-encompassing and has all the valuable information we need. How to obtain information, analyze, process information and finally use information is the main content of teachers' guidance to students. For example, we can guide students to learn to use search engines to search for information, and tell them some commonly used and powerful search engine websites, such as Google, Baidu, etc. And teach them tips and methods on how to effectively search for valuable information. For another example, you can use some video courseware to learn some practical software. When you encounter difficult problems in actual use, you can post in bbs forums on certain topics to find solutions. And so on. We need to let students know: "There are endless teachers on the Internet." Just like our school's online open education model for people working outside the school, I think full-time students in school should also learn this open, self-learning model. learning methods. It is especially beneficial for their long-term development after leaving campus.

Only after the above methods are adopted to teach students to use the Internet for self-study, can they be as close to real life as possible, keep up with the fast pace of the Internet age, and use their information capabilities to solve practical problems .
