Benefits of using online whiteboards
Visual learning has been proven to have a better impact on students and improves their understanding and retention by leaps and bounds.
Online whiteboard tutoring has a lot of advantages over traditional learning methods and they are:
- It is interactive and helps students understand even tough ideas with relative ease.
- It employs a lot of colours, graphs, animations and charts to convey ideas and theories and thus helps students grasp the underlying concepts.
- The audio-visual style of learning usually has better results than other forms of learning and the whiteboard is thus more successful than other learning tools when it comes to engaging the attention of students. It is a proven fact that the responsiveness quotient is high in this form of learning.
- Even students who are reluctant listeners at school find this tool engaging as it employs a variety of different features to keep their attention on the subject at hand. Online tutors find this tool reliable even in the case of slow learners as tutors get to demonstrate the topic at hand using visual aids available in the tool and this helps the students interact better with the tutors.
- As these are electronic, they are not messy and look attractive even to young students. The whiteboard can also double as a traditional projector and can be used to show images and texts that are scanned.
- This tool can also be used during brainstorming sessions and thus can be used even in cases where students seek only homework or assignment help and not full-fledged tutoring sessions.
