Students attending Indiana University (IU) are now able to combine the collaborative benefits of a traditional classroom education with the ease of access that comes with distance learning, through video conferencing technology. In a report published last week, the university announced it had partnered with software provider Pexip to test the feasibility of a remote attendance policy, which would allow students to join live lectures remotely. The web-based video conferencing platform delivers dual views of the instructor and classmates, enables remote students to hear the instructor and any student speaking in the class, and allows remote students to join in-class discussions in real time.
For many students, online classes have given them the flexibility they need to pursue their education, but for universities, online education can cause in-person class numbers to dwindle, weakening the collaborative environment of traditional programs and campus life.
Universities like IU find themselves in an interesting predicament. The question is how much online education should universities push to remain competitive in the marketplace while making sure that registration in traditional programs isn’t cannibalized.
To address this concern, IU has given students the option to attend live lectures remotely, using a collaborative video conferencing platform. Ninety percent of IU’s students are commuters, who, at times, may have to forgo coming to campus because of factors outside of their control, like weather. Some students may have car trouble or can’t afford to pay for gas. others, like single parents, may have family responsibilities that prevent them from attending classes in person.
By bringing live lectures into the virtual space, motivated students now have more options and don’t have to decide between attending class or skipping. The remote attendance option has not been fully integrated into IU’s course offerings, but as more classes begin to take advantage of remote attendance, its expected utilization rate will increase.
1. What can serve as the best title for the passage?
Read the following passage and do the tasks below.
Look around your classroom. Do you see students sitting at desks? Are teachers writing on a board and giving lectures? At Southern Cross School, near the famous Kruger National Park in South Mrica, things are different. Here, nature is the classroom.
Both the park and the school are home to wild animals such as giraffes, impalas, and warthogs. Students at the school study the same subjects as other students in South Mrica. But at Southern Cross, the staff and students go out into the wild to learn.
In one lesson, students apply the principles of mathematics to the study of local wildlife. Younger students count how many kinds of animals drank at the nearby water troughs during the night. Older students measure the amount of water the animals drank, and calculate how much water the animals will need over weeks or months.
In language classes, a common topic is conservation. In one recent debate, students discussed an important question: should people give water to wild animals during a drought? Another project might consist of finding out how an animal died.
The director of the school is Ant de Boer. His aim is for students to learn the importance of caring for the environment. De Boer says, “When they leave school, we want them to be champions of the natural environment.” As the school motto says, Southern Cross aims to be a “School for the Planet.”
