How can children bridge the gap between online and offline learning? In the event of online education, how do you keep your child away from the phone?
Share Share ShareShare

The process of learning and teaching – anything, a new skill, value, attitude, or knowledge – has been ever-changing and facing a continuous upgrade since time immemorial. Over the years, the learning landscape has undergone several substantial revolutions – from the way children absorb concepts to how classes or curricula are designed. For instance, the aspect of learning didn’t remain uninfluenced when technology penetrated all spheres of our daily life at the threshold of the 21st century. In fact, as technology grew by leaps and bounds, it left its footprint in several facets of the learning process – thereby giving rise to the phenomenon of online learning.

The Gap Between Online Learning & Offline Learning

Initially, while teachers and educators were the sources of knowledge and all that there was to learn, the arrival of the internet came with an abundance of information that was available online.

With the option of online learning in the picture, children can manage to acquire knowledge and skills at their own pace and from the comfort of their own homes, leading to questions such as – Is technology replacing conventional classrooms with computers? Will we see online and offline learning processes complementing each other? And the latest hot debate of online learning vs offline learning.

Although online learning has its perks, technology has not yet been optimized for every aspect of the learning process; meanwhile, one cannot claim that online learning trumps offline or vice versa. Furthermore, while online learning, at best, can act as an enabler rather than a stand-alone proposition for education, the offline, teacher-centric way of learning has its own limitations – with either the teacher’s word being final on the subject or them spoon-feeding the children rather than guiding them while maintaining learner autonomy. Herein lies a gaping void between online learning and offline learning environments – children do not get a chance to practically explore and wholly experience the subject matter they are supposed to be learning. And the fact of the matter is that a child’s experience tends to define the success or failure of the learning process.

Bridging The Gap

Simply shifting learning practices from the Industrial Age to the Knowledge Age is not enough. Children must engage in a deeply experiential and social learning process to help bridge the gap between online and offline learning. Experiential learning activities such as role-playing are effective solutions for informal learning to take place.

Play-acting is an embedded behavior in children. Children tend to imitate and model an adult’s actions without prior instructions or directions, just by keenly observing them. It is a powerful tool that encourages children to become active participants in their own learning process. Through experiential activities, children can gain rich experiences about the inner workings of diverse industries and professions as well as reinforce decision-making skills, personal skills, communication skills and good values. Engaging children in both life and learning, this type of pedagogical approach enhances a child’s social and emotional growth, motor skills and cognitive development.

Experiential learning tends to strike a perfect balance between the theory of online/offline education and the practical application of acquired knowledge. Not only that, but it also gives brands a chance to foster learning among children by taking the route of experiential marketing. Through experiential marketing, brands have the golden opportunity to responsibly communicate with their target audience, bolstering the trust between themselves and their potential consumers. Furthermore, by collaborating with tech companies and edutainment centers, brands can contribute to making the learning process for children engaging, meaningful, and long-lasting, all while positively impacting society at large.

Alongside that, another vital advantage of experiential learning is that it empowers parents with a way to cut down on their child’s screen time. Ever since technology has made an advent in the realm of learning, children are seen to be constantly surrounded by screens. And offline, experiential learning with a smatter of entertainment is proving to be a successful solution to unplug children from their bright screens.

By tweaking the learning activities and making them fun and interactive for children, parents and educators can ignite the spark of curiosity within their child’s mind, thereby driving them to take learning into their own hands and explore the world – thus growing up to become its responsible citizens.
