Five basic guidelines for virtual classrooms

Virtual classrooms enable digital teaching and collaborative learning. Digital teaching is not only a great alternative to traditional teaching, it can also be used to complement face-to-face teaching.

But online learning is not the same as face-to-face teaching. One should know that

• the concentration span of children between 12 and 16 years of age decreases after about 30 minutes
• a lack of interaction and concentrated work on the screen leads to faster fatigue.

Virtual lessons, especially long lessons, are a real challenge for children. It is therefore important to make the lessons varied and engaging and to include short breaks.
