Diverse Learning Needs, Local Context, Virtual LearningAbstract
Virtual learning offers flexibility and accessibility, crucial to address challenges like digital equity and maintain engagement through interactive strategies. A successful virtual learning experience involves adapting to the local context, leveraging technology effectively, and prioritizing student well-being and engagement. Teachers' high level of difficulties in conducting virtual learning activities in terms of technical infrastructure, digital literacy, student engagement, and learning assessment means that teachers need to focus on effective communication, active engagement with students, and utilizing technology wisely. This includes participating in professional development opportunities, collaborating with colleagues, and actively reflecting on their teaching practice. Provide professional development for educators to better understand and address diverse learning needs. Teachers must participate in professional development and attend workshops, webinars, and online courses to enhance their skills and knowledge in online teaching.
