Remote Teaching
Joseph et al. (2022) evaluated the effectiveness of the emergency remote teaching strategy employed by the Information Technology Department at Durban University of Technology during the COVID-19 crisis. Their work provided a thorough examination through qualitative and quantitative methods, assessing how the department navigated the shift to remote education amid the pandemic. This strategy was organized into four stages: preparation, synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning, e-assessment, and reflection, aiming to gauge its impact on the educational experience during this period.
Expanding upon these findings, Zhang and Wu (2022) figured out the significance of digital literacy and the innovation of teaching methods for the success of synchronous online learning. Their analysis brought to light the critical need for educators to enhance their technological capabilities and for students to embrace strategies for self-guided learning, marking a crucial interaction in the sphere of digital education.
Furthermore, Harrell and Washburn-Moses (2023) examined the complex requirements for both academic and emotional support for foster children in the United States, making a case for the development of personalized support mechanisms. Their research stressed the need for specialized educational strategies to address the unique challenges faced by these children.
Similarly, Chien et al. (2016) investigated the impact of online tutoring platforms, demonstrating their effectiveness in diminishing the educational disparities between urban inhabitants and those in remote areas. Their study showcased how digital resources could democratize access to education, highlighting the role of technology in advancing educational fairness.
ChanLin et al. (2016) also explored the implementation of online tutoring in Taiwan's remote regions, focusing on the vital logistical, technological, and pedagogical strategies required for the initiatives to succeed. They emphasized the necessity of providing not just access to educational content but also comprehensive support to educators and learners to ensure meaningful engagement with the material.
