Educators are leaning towards educational tools, chats, and websites to cater to their students&#8217; educational needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many tools out there that you can use. The challenge is how you can introduce conversation in an e-learning community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The real fact is that students and educators may not be familiar with this process. All they&#8217;ve done in the previous years are face-to-face conversations and lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If there ever was the use of educational tools, this will lean towards the basic activities such as online quizzes, homework, and the likes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, real communication is not present. There&#8217;s only a one-way communication that&#8217;s happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This made us think of how teachers and students will be able to survive this predicament. Over the next few points, we&#8217;ll be sharing ways of how you can add real conversation while using a live chat tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule a time to answer live questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the pandemic, you&#8217;d have a set time to answer your students&#8217; questions. Why not do the same on your live chat tool? Here&#8217;s how it could work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Set an official time where your students can have access to the moderated chat with a designated educator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give the students access to the designated educator instead of having a normal class. The expert will be there to answer the students&#8217; questions but not required to engage conversation unless a question is asked. Also, the expert can moderate the chat by choosing the appropriate questions. The following is an example image that demonstrates this. A moderated chat is added to a website or shared via a link. The students can see that the admin is online and they can ask questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200319074740\/e-learning.png\" alt=\"e-learning\" class=\"wp-image-8169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200319074740\/e-learning.png 800w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200319074740\/e-learning-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20200319074740\/e-learning-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Have your students participate in a group discussion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of letting your students do their work themselves, they can find comfort in engaging with other students. As they don&#8217;t have much interaction outside of the physical classroom, this is a great way to still keep that connection. Here are two ways to do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Deliver the e-learning curriculum in parallel with a moderated discussion. As the educator and moderator, you deliver a controlled environment with the course content. Then, you can take a break from the moderated discussion and let your students discuss freely among themselves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another approach could be a group discussion where each group has their own moderated chat. You can assign a leader per group and let them moderate their teammates&#8217; messages. For a productive conversation, create a list of questions and review materials for them to answer and discuss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"504\" src=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190326074934\/add_file_001.png\" alt=\"online class\" class=\"wp-image-5887\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190326074934\/add_file_001.png 800w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190326074934\/add_file_001-300x189.png 300w, https:\/\/d241b8qep9dzid.cloudfront.net\/20190326074934\/add_file_001-768x484.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create an e-learning moderated chat for group discussions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With today&#8217;s technology, it&#8217;s easy to create an online chat. You have a variety of e-learning chat tools to choose from and a lot of them are free. Also, there are chat tools that are web-based and don&#8217;t have any access issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how can you incorporate a group discussion in your e-learning course?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>As said above, setting a time for a live chat with an expert and students can be advantageous. In times like these where online classes are needed, this is how you can answer your students&#8217; questions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While setting a specific time is convenient for both parties, you can also opt to do a group discussion that&#8217;s not dependent on a particular time. With a moderated chat that you can immediately change into a <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\">group chat<\/a>, the chat is open to all. You can also keep a history of your chat transcript so that information can be reviewed and accessed in the future. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A dynamic chat experience through e-learning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the examples above, we used RumbleTalk&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/moderated\/\">moderated chat<\/a> feature. We showed a quick demo on how you can use a live chat tool as part of the e-learning experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the examples above, we used the Add File&#8217;s ability to insert discussion questions and review materials. With RumbleTalk, you can also change from moderated chat to group chat with just a click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of RumbleTalk&#8217;s embed code, you can also insert it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rumbletalk.com\/blog\/index.php\/2019\/05\/22\/chat-google\/\">Google Sites<\/a> or your own website. Also, this is easy for educators with limited technical skills as it is just copying and pasting elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this, we used the chat&#8217;s free features to give you some idea of how you can work with a live chat tool in an e-learning environment. The advantage is that you introduce a real conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a great way to build social connections and encourage thinking and not just sending homework or PowerPoint files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Covid-19 pandemic, e-learning is booming.
