Six benefits of video conferencing for schools

As a response to the recent events of COVID-19, many professional educational institutes have turned to video conferencing systems to stay connected with their existing students, continue functioning, and even expand.

Many of them are realizing that the benefits of video conferencing have a life beyond this crisis. And thus, are permanently making online education a part of their institute.

But DialTM has analyzed that schools are lagging in adapting to this situation and, as a result, are losing out on business. So, we thought why not show them how video conferencing can help schools, not only during this pandemic but also afterward.

Let's straight dive into the 6 benefits of video conferencing for schools: -

1. Repeat classes with video recording

Most people (including students) find it difficult to recall what they were taught just a week before. The Forgetting Curve says that, on average, 50% percent of information will be wiped out after an hour it was presented.

Keeping that in mind students need to be provided with some aid that can help them with this issue. With video conferencing solutions you can record your classes and provide it to your students to recall the teachings as many times as possible at their own pace and at the convenience of their home.

2. Conduct sessions with experts

The online world has opened the gates to collaborate with experts in a much easier way. Earlier it used to be much harder as it consumes a lot of time and money to travel back and forth to the destination.

With the power of video conferencing, long distances and high costs have been squeezed to a size that both- experts and schools- can afford.

3. Reach remote areas to expand your student base

A great education is everybody's right. But most children from rural areas are kept away from this because of not being able to afford the cost of transportation or moving permanently to the city. As a result, they are bound to the local schools and are left unaware of the advances of the modern world.

Distance learning through video conferencing is a great way to take advantage of this untapped market. Along with financial benefits, you will also be able to spread your influence.

4. Narrows gap of parents and teachers

Do you recall the memories of the parent-teacher meeting in your school days? If your memories are still vivid then it won't be hard to remember that only a handful of parents were able to make it to the meeting.

This can hamper the student in his overall progress as his parents won't be able to understand their role in it. With connecting online through video conferencing this gap of communication between teacher and parents can be narrowed down.

5. Track unattentive students

This is a feature that DialTM's video conferencing solution provides which has artificial intelligence integrated into it. With our advanced AI, you as a teacher will be able to track the students those are inattentive during the class.

It can help teachers with the data of whom to focus more on. As a plus, this feature can also urge the students to stay attentive to not come in the AI's radar.

6. No one misses out on the school trip!

School trips are probably one of the best school memories we have. It was a perfect blend of learning and fun. But unfortunately, most students missed out on collecting these pearls of memories. But not anymore.

Video conferencing lets students to attend these virtual trips from the ease of their backyard and makes sure that they are not left out of the tales.

Video conferencing has made drastic changes in the way we learn because of the benefits it provides. That's why more and more educational institutions are making it a part of their offerings. If yours is not one of them then you are missing out on having a piece of the pie.

Thus, to make this shift easy for you, DialTM is providing secure video conferencing software that is stuffed with smart AI technology at a competitive price along with features like:
