Attending Theory Lectures:
In the offline format, students attend classes physically at a designated location, interact with the instructor and fellow students in person, and receive course material in soft copy format. This mode of delivery allows for face-to-face interactions and hands-on learning experiences.
In the semi-online & online format, students attend classes virtually via an online platform, interact with the instructor and fellow students through various online tools such as video conferencing and discussion forums, and receive course material in soft copy format. This mode of delivery allows for greater flexibility as students can attend classes from anywhere as per batch time, provided they have access to the internet and a suitable device. This ensures that they can attend classes and interact with the instructor and fellow students at their convenience. Students are required to keep their cameras on during online lectures. Keeping the camera on during online lectures can have several benefits, including creating a more interactive and engaging learning environment, facilitating communication and collaboration among students, and providing the instructor with visual cues to assess students’ comprehension and engagement. Additionally, having cameras on can help to reduce distractions and promote a sense of accountability among students. However, there may be valid reasons why some students prefer to turn off their cameras, such as privacy concerns, technical issues, or distractions in their surroundings. In such cases, students should communicate their concerns to the instructor and explore alternative ways of participating in the class, such as through verbal or written contributions in the chat or discussion forum. Ultimately, the decision to keep the camera on or off during online lectures should be based on the individual’s comfort level and the policies of the instructor or institution providing the course
