Task 1
Negative effects of online medium on students
It can be stated that online learning has positive effects on learning and students. Although, on
looking on other side of coin, there are negative effects also which are as follows:
a) It has taken away the traditional method of interactive session between the students
and the teachers. The traditional method could help in free flow of communication
between the teachers and the students with teachers knowing their students and thus,
making sure every pupil could understand the lessons.
b) The teachers in earlier form of class learning, would know the strengths and
weaknesses of the students and accordingly, they could focus on every pupil which
they can’t do so in online learning.
c) The bond which binded teacher and student together is now missing in online form of
class, as there students would interact, share views and have fun with teacher while
learning. Here, they can only raise doubts online (Hart and et.al., 2019).
d) Students in class learning, could get motivated by other classmates learning along
with them, and their interest also could be kept in learning as they were studying
together in the same age group. Whereas, in online forum, they are on their own and
it has effect on the interest and concentration level of the students.
e) Students earlier had periods of games and other co-curricular activities which could
increase their attention of learning and also provide relief from studying whole day.
This increased their cooperation among other classmates in activities and also
developed skills which are of use in further life. In online medium, this has been
missing with limited classes and resources through which these classes can not be
held and thus, overall development of the child is affected.
f) The online medium of learning has made the interaction take a back seat and pupils
are now learning only what they are taught. However, they can raise doubts but it
may be not understood properly, and student may not feel motivated to ask it online
again.
