Exclusive Features in Online Programs

Reactions are also another feature of some programs, so students will be able to do things like react with emoticons to things which is a useful feature when asking questions in the virtual classroom. In addition to reactions, one feature that almost every program has is a raise hand feature, which allows students to queue up to ask questions so that everyone doesn’t have to be unmuted or all try to answer at the same time. It’s one of the most important features because it can really help with classroom management in a digital environment.

Another small feature that not all programs have is being able to put students into separate rooms by themselves. So, if you are doing a test or doing group work, you can separate students into several rooms and have them answer questions or take a test without having to worry about answering your students’ questions individually or helping them out individually.

The final important feature that isn’t included in all programs is an interactive whiteboard. If you have an interactive whiteboard, you can allow students to make notes and write answers on the screen during the lesson. You can also use it to facilitate learning by writing down notes or other things to make the lesson a bit more active in order to help the students participate more often. It is important to make the lessons have interaction and using the interactive whiteboard is crucial to give that interactive feeling during classes.

Remember that as a teacher it is important that you are comfortable with the program that you choose for teaching online. No matter if your company chooses your program or if you choose your own program to use for your classes, you should make yourself comfortable with the tools that your program offers. Using your tools in the right manner can make your classroom management go more smoothly and help your lessons be much less stressful.
