Post 3: Education Equity

Hi, Weiran
I’m pleased to read your blog, and I agree with your solution for English learners and the hearing impaired. Providing videos with subtitles can really help students understand the lessons better. Students can choose the speed of the video and pause to look up words they don’t know. I noticed in your blog that you mentioned equity in education. I think this is very important. Due to the epidemic, many students return to their home countries to attend classes. For example, 1 pm in the Victoria area is 4 am Beijing time. Students in China have a hard time staying awake in the early hours of the morning and understanding the lessons well, so the recorded classes help them be more efficient.

Post #3 – How to Adjust Learning Methods During Pandemic

Hi, Yiran
I’m glad to read your blog, and your idea of combining a half-hour live class with a half-hour recorded class is beneficial to me. The teacher can explain the lesson’s main points in the recorded class and then have a Q&A and group activity in the live class. This is a great way to learn for those who have time differences or are English learners!
