Use the Hybrid mode of learning
The Hybrid Learning model is a technique that can be quite effective in today’s classroom and we highly recommended that teachers put it to use. Through this model, teachers can provide the course material to students online so that for the next class they can come prepared in advance. This technique is also called as flipped classroom model as the work that is reading, watching videos, etc that are basically done in the class can be given as work to be done at home, whereas the activities that would have been set as homework can be easily done and completed in the classroom itself. Also, this will help the teachers to pay attention to students who are not able to understand the concepts being taught and thus will escalate learning.
