During the pandemic, we all got a flavor of how powerful online lectures can be. The remote settings gave us the reach and exposure that we needed.
Yet, it is still difficult to make online lectures accessible to all your students.
Your students may come from all around the world, with diverse backgrounds and learning styles. Many of them might have learned English as a second language.
Hence, you need to be mindful that you are creating an enriching experience for all. In this blog, we will see how you can make your online lectures more accessible for everyone.
Generate captions for extra support
All your students might not be native English speakers. They might find it hard to follow through with your online lectures.
By adding captions to your lectures, you can make the flow of information smoother. This will help all your students, even those with hearing difficulties, to understand your lectures better.
Additionally, if you have a heavy accent, your students will benefit from captions.
You can also introduce complex topics and terminologies and make them less intimidating. This way, you can increase the engagement in your online lectures and make it more accessible.

During lectures, some find it easier to follow through visual cues such as video and pictures. They absorb the contents better this way.
But it might not be the case for all your students. Others might prefer reading or listening to grasp concepts. So, you need to take their various learning styles into consideration.
To make your lectures effective for all, consider using text, audio, and video. Your students will have the freedom to learn in the way that suits them the best.
This way, you'll reach more students and make your online lectures more fulfilling.

Create interactive repository of your lectures
Your online lectures can feel one-sided to your students. Remote delivery of information can limit their participation and engagement.
Instead, create a searchable repository of your lectures in tools such as Reduct and share it with your students.
With the interactive repository, your students can quickly search and jump to specific sections. They can highlight important points and engage in discussions with you.
Even better, your other students can pitch in and help solve queries. This will help you avoid heaps of back & forth in emails.
With this, you can revolutionize the way students engage with your educational content.
