The most essential part of any area of education is strong communication. Communication is the key to the way the world moves, and this applies as vehemently to schools too. But when the pandemic hit us last year, most schools were forced to shut down, and classes happened over zoom calls. Maybe 20 years, if a health crisis heaved upon a city, most of us would not have been able to classes at all, but with the advancement in technology, communication is made so much easier. But that does not rule out some of the barriers in communicating when done online. A teacher might not be able to clear all doubts via a zoom call and that is why a discussion board is crucial.
A discussion board will help students reach out to the faculty, and faculty out to students. But it does not just limit to that. The discussion board will also allow parents to reach out to faculty, and vice-versa.
This will help foster better and stronger relations among students, faculty, and the parents. Even with many schools back to physical teaching, discussion board will continue being relevant just in case a sudden emergency occurs, or a student has had to miss a couple of classes due to health concern or otherwise.
Through our School Management and Learning System we promote the cultivation of strong faculty-student relationship, and the one with the studnets’ parents too. It helps the school be much more of an active player in their students’ lives.
