How Online Classes Close ‘Gaps’

As a parent or guardian, you may hear the phrase ‘close the gap’ or ‘bridge the gaps’ used in reference to schools and learning centres. Especially with pupils being away from school for so long during 2020, ‘close the gap’ might be a phrase you’ve heard in the press or media.

This phrase refers to strategies or techniques used to bridge aspects of your child’s learning that they may have missed, forgotten or not yet grasped. Typically, ‘closing the gap’ also refers to giving pupils opportunities to match more closely with their peers and age group, in terms of knowledge and access to quality learning. Online classes are an excellent solution for this.

As an online course provider for Scottish students taking National 5s, Higher or Advanced Highers, we are confident that online courses- such as ours- are the way forward when it comes to closing or bridging academic gaps. One of the many reasons is because we have the capacity to deliver consistently high-quality content, accessible to all students at any time. Should your teenager identify a subject gap, they can instantly rectify this by finding the right lesson using our robust material (after straight forward sign up.)

Online classes give students the means to revisit subject areas again and again- something which there just isn’t time for in a live classroom. It doesn’t matter if your child has to view an online lesson ten times before they ‘get it!’ Being able to pause, rewind or replay video lessons is of great benefit to pupils- but especially when they are trying to work independently on closing a gap. At https://mydigitallesson.co.uk we provide excellent quality video lessons for core subjects, and we offer a scholarship for pupils who qualify for Free School Meals to ensure our courses are accessible to all.

Some people might argue that ‘online teaching’ doesn’t match up to that of the classroom. Whilst there are obviously wide-ranging benefits to learning in a classroom, online learning enriches classroom learning- and has its own brilliant benefits. Whilst a classroom teacher may need to divide their attention between many students, online learning allows your teen to generate a much more individualised approach for themselves. In class, your teen might be itching to go back to a topic they feel they missed, but be wary that the rest of their peers seem to have ‘moved on’ or not have the same ‘gap.’ Thus, our online courses are perfect for enabling your child to truly take control over their own learning.

Pre-recorded video lessons giving students the freedom to work at their own pace

With us, you are also assured that lesson content is delivered by professional, well-established teachers (many of whom have their own classes in school.) Consequently, you and your teenager know that the content provided is sound, professional and trusted. With our experience as a digital learning provider, you can guarantee that we know exactly how to give your teen the means to close gaps and feel confident about the school year ahead!
