Distance Learning Physical Classes
Differences :
 There is a limited time to interchange
ideas with the partners and the
teacher.
 During the class, the only company of
the student is a device.
 It is difficult to know if all the
students understood the explanation,
but there is a reactions option which
helps the teacher to verify.
 Even though the type of evaluation is
the same as physical classes, we will
not use papers. Instead of papers, we
are going to send our evaluations
virtually.
 You do not have to spend money on
transportation.
Similarities :
 The students can compare their
answers and opinions in a separate
meeting.
 We can ask the teacher our doubts
about the unit after pressing the
participation option (a little blue
hand).
 The classes start punctually and it is
the same methodology and the same
type of evaluation.
 In a classroom, students do not
feel alone because they always
interact with their partners and
the teacher during the class.
 In a classroom, students can
express their opinions or doubts
at any time while the rest of the
class continue working on the
unit.
 It is easier for the teacher to
verify if everybody understood
the explanation because students
answer “yes” at the same time.
 Students can compare their
answers and opinions in a
separate group.
 We can ask the teacher our
doubts about the unit.
