Modern-day higher education is at a crossroad where the inclination to continue moving forward with conventional methods of education is countered by the necessity of evolving with the changing landscapes and incorporating the latest teaching pedagogies, as well as, technologies. Even though educators are having mixed reactions for completely shifting lanes toward modern educational methodologies, many will come to agree with the fact the right blend of tested and proven methods of education with the newest methods will bring the best of both worlds. One such technology that complements the conventional methods of education is live streaming. Even though live streaming has been in vogue among us for some time now, how it can be used to improve the quality of teaching is still an overlooked topic. Now, let’s take a closer look at what live streaming brings to the table in regards to improving the quality of education.

1. Offering an Interactive Experience: Live streaming allows students to have a live interactive learning experience and this in itself raises the overall quality of education to a whole new level. The ability for students, as well as, their teachers to have live interactions unlike most other online learning platforms where students have to consume ready-made contents with little to no option to interact with each other or with the educator is one big advantage that live streaming offers in spades. Some live streaming platforms even help students and teachers to be part of a larger community which helps both parties to improve their skill sets.

These are some of the ways in which live streaming positively impacts the quality of education offered to the students and the universal acceptance and incorporation of live streaming into the education system will help all the different stakeholders

2. Offering a Better Learning Experience: Live streams offer a whole different experience when compared to traditional classes and live streaming allows teachers to offer individualized attention to the students who would need that. Recording the live streams will also allow students to revisit the classes when they have any doubts or want to get some clarifications on certain topics. This also gives the opportunity for the learners to learn and revise as per their convenience which will help them in their learning curve.

3. Better Accessibility: Equal dissemination of knowledge is crucial for the sustained growth of a nation and there are various limitations that conventional methods of education have when it comes to ensuring that students from all walks of life are offered equal education. Conventional models of education also fail to bridge the geographical gaps which in turn makes it harder for certain students to acquire equal consumption of knowledge. On the opposite end, new educational pedagogies like live streaming successfully breaks the geographical barriers that are still prevalent in many communities. This will be a huge leap in ensuring that top-notch education is being delivered without any disruption to all students.

4. Understanding the Learners: Technology has done wonders in changing how all of us live our day to day lives and it has also transformed how most of us perceive education. Technology has helped educators to push the boundaries of education and through live streaming, educators will also be able to analyse the learning habits and study patterns of the students which in turn will help them to offer a better learning experience for the students. This opens new always of development opportunities for the students and this also ensures that the educators are able to polish their craft and offer personalised attention and care to the content they deliver and how they present it to the students in the most effective way.

These are some of the ways in which live streaming positively impacts the quality of education offered to the students and the universal acceptance and incorporation of live streaming into the education system will help all the different stakeholders.
