Given that, it makes sense to learn the top virtual learning tips that ensure student success.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 1: Choose the right virtual learning platform<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using the\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/office\/industry-solutions\/education-cloud-phone-systems.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">right virtual learning platform<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is critical for students to not only absorb the material, but participate in the virtual classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What features make it the \u201cright\u201d virtual learning platform?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be easy for students to use<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students should be able to use it from their device of choice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instructors should have the ability to teach live classes, and they should be able to share their screens<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students should have live message capabilities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform should give instructors the ability to record lessons<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform should integrate with leading learning management tools such as Canvas, so teachers can post recorded lectures<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There should be built-in messaging, video conferencing, and telephony capabilities, so students can connect with instructors outside of class<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There should be file sharing capabilities so students can easily share their work with classmates or instructors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The platform should be secure, so students have peace of mind and can focus on learning<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Tip 2: Set clear expectations from the beginning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many students, virtual learning is a new experience. They\u2019re accustomed to sitting in a classroom and waiting for an instructor to call on them. A different dynamic is at play in a virtual classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instructors need to set clear expectations from the beginning by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explaining what is acceptable behavior in the classroom<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Detailing how often the instructor will communicate with students, and through which channels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reviewing the syllabus and grading requirements<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When students understand what their instructors expect of them, they have a greater chance of successfully learning the curriculum materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 3: Engage in face-to-face learning whenever possible<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/feedbackfruits.com\/blog\/the-rise-of-online-classes-after-covid-19-best-practices-based-on-literature\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Studies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have shown that students (especially those in the Millennial demographic) need to feel that their instructor cares about them. Being cared for dramatically improves their motivation and raises class retention rates. One way to do that is to engage in face-to-face learning whenever possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instructors should utilize the video conferencing capabilities of their institution\u2019s virtual learning platform to make the virtual classroom a more welcoming and humane place. Even holding virtual office hours can make students feel their instructors care about them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 4: Encourage collaborative learning<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When students were able to learn face-to-face, few loved the idea of\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.keystoneacademic.com\/news\/5-ways-to-make-virtual-learning-more-interactive\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">group projects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, the virtual classroom can be isolating if students have little or no interaction with their peers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the right virtual learning tools, students can collaborate with one another on group projects. File sharing, chat, telephony, and video conferencing all ensure they complete work efficiently and effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-46741\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/virtual-learning-2.jpg\" alt=\"RingCentral for education\" width=\"930\" height=\"586\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 5: Encourage group discussion in the virtual classroom<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a 2017 study of college students,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facultyfocus.com\/articles\/effective-teaching-strategies\/students-learn-participation-class-discussion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70% of respondents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> saw a positive relationship between their participation in class and their ability to learn. Students told researchers that when they know class participation is a requirement, they prepare more, which contributes to them learning the material.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help students learn in virtual classrooms, group discussion is crucial. Video conferencing and live chat capabilities allow students to participate from wherever they are and learn more deeply.<\/span><\/p>\n<section class=\"show-demo\">\n<div class=\"title\">\n\t\t\tVirtual learning eBook\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"flex-container button-container {{ $description ?: 'spacing' }}\">\n<div class=\"flex-container description\">\n<div>\n\t\t\t\t\tGet virtual learning tips, techniques, and tools for higher ed.\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"button-wrapper\">\n                                            <button onclick=\"window.open('https:\/\/netstorage.ringcentral.com\/documents\/ringcentral-education-virtual-learning-tips-techniques-and-tools.pdf', '_blank'); return false;\" class=\"show-demo-button\" data-dl-name=\"show-demo\" data-dl-element=\"button\" data-dl-additional-info=\"show demo button\" data-no-auto-dl=\"true\">View now<\/button>\n                                    <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<h3><b>Tip 6: Make lessons as interactive as possible<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the benefits of virtual classrooms is that learning can be far more interactive than in a traditional classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With virtual learning tools such as video conferencing and screen sharing, instructors can create interactive content, including live polls and quizzes, so students can engage more deeply in what they\u2019re learning. These activities prompt students to focus on what\u2019s taking place in class, reducing the chances they\u2019ll be distracted.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 7: Bring in guest lecturers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The virtual classroom isn\u2019t bound by geographic constraints.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/teachonline.ca\/tools-trends\/how-teach-online-student-success\/new-pedagogy-emerging-and-online-learning-key-contributing-factor\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual learning tools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> allow instructors to be innovative. Previously instructors were at the mercy of someone else\u2019s travel schedule if they wanted a guest lecturer who was an expert in the field. Virtual learning platforms make it easier and more convenient to invite guest lecturers to speak to students.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to video conferencing technology, guest lecturers can teach a class from the comfort of their own homes. Students benefit from an enriched learning experience; they might not have the opportunity to hear from this person otherwise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 8: Provide support outside of the classroom<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one learns well under stress. Today\u2019s students have a lot on their minds, including grades, student loans, relationships, their family life, and housing. Those issues don\u2019t go away just because students are in a virtual classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial for higher education institution administrators to be there for students, even if they can\u2019t do so in person. The right virtual learning tools should also provide students with a way to contact the administration when they need to, through telephony, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/video-call.html\">video calls<\/a>, and messaging. Administrators should also be able to easily share information with students through real-time messaging, SMS, and social media posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tip 9: Offer virtual learning opportunities outside of coursework<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Virtual learning isn\u2019t just about enrolling in a class. There are opportunities for students to participate in more informal virtual learning. For example,<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/edudownloads.azureedge.net\/msdownloads\/EIU-Microsoft-Education-Bridging-the-Digital-Divide-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">St. Edward\u2019s University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> offers virtual internships as well as virtual student teaching to improve the learning experience for its students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With virtual learning tools, higher education institutions have the chance to innovate the way students learn inside and outside the classroom. Virtual tours, lectures from experts across the globe, and immersive learning experiences are just some of the innovative ways students can learn.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Enhance virtual learning with RingCentral\u2019s learning platform<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RingCentral\u2019s feature-rich virtual learning platform helps administrators and instructors deliver an engaging virtual learning experience.
