VISO TeacherView: Consolidate Your Remote Classroom Management Technology

Or Yehuda, Israel - February 9, 2021 /PressCable/ —

Ask most parents or teachers and they’ll tell you the move to a hybrid learning setting has been a little rough. Many school districts have used a patchwork approach for remote classroom management that’s confusing students and impacting the educational process as teachers and students have to juggle between platforms and programs.

In the remote or hybrid learning environment, 3 platforms are being used:

1. Classroom Management

2. Video Conference

3. Learning Management

Teachers are less focused on teaching and more focused on managing technology and moving between these three platforms. VISO TeacherView consolidates all three into one easy-to-use platform. This lets teachers focus on teaching and students focus on learning.

CURRENT PLATFORMS ARE LIMITING

Students have often become reduced to a thumbnail in a box. Using video software such as Zoom, Team, or Meet provides only the most basic level of interaction. In a classroom, teachers can walk around, check students’ work, and see whether they’re engaged. With these video conferencing tools designed for business, you’re only seeing their face.

Missing is the ability for teachers to view remote students’ desktops to see how they’re working on assignments while still being able to see them to make sure they’re paying attention. Also missing is the ability to work one-on-one with students during class time without addressing the entire class. VISO TeacherView provides that functionality that’s so important in learning.

Switching between platforms makes it easy for things to get missed or lost in translation. Consider the communication process between teachers and classes or teachers and individual students. A survey by the EdWeek Research Center demonstrates how difficult it is to handle basic teacher-student communication. Here are all the different ways teachers have had to use to manage interactions:

Email

Posting messages

Posting videos

Text messages

Phone calls

Printing work to be picked up

Social media

Mailing assignments

20% of schools doing remote learning are still sending paper home for students to do their work.

Educators have gone to extraordinary steps to stay in touch with students but the situation’s messy at best. When everyone is juggling so many different communication channels and software platforms, is it any wonder that people are frustrated?

SCHOOLS NEED BETTER REMOTE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

Nearly 93% of US households with school-age children are now engaged in some form of distance learning from home. It’s exacerbated problems for low-income or struggling students. Families trying to juggle work and manage a home learning environment are frustrated (and often angry) about the way their children are performing. Students are getting decreased learning time and attention and it’s showing in decreased test scores and benchmarking.

Most schools have done the best they can in making the rapid transition to remote learning. They’ve adopted practices and tools to try to help students and teachers and they’re trying to manage the problems that arise rather than fixing the problem. They believe the software platforms they are dealing with now are the best that they can get.

That’s simply not the case.

THERE’S A BETTER WAY FOR REMOTE CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT

VISO TeacherView is a new kind of cloud-based classroom management solution. It’s equipped with a built-in video conference system, enabling remote, local, or hybrid learning with the click of a button.

VISO TeacherView provides teachers with the tools they need to have a seamless experience that mirrors a traditional physical classroom virtually. This includes the ability to share the screen, camera, and whiteboard in lecturer mode or for group collaboration. It allows teachers to remotely monitor and assist students in real-time in a group setting or individually in a private mode to avoid embarrassing students in front of their peers.

It streamlines the learning experience. There’s no more juggling between platforms and programs. It allows teachers to teach while keeping tabs on the classroom pulse.

TEACHERS ARE DOING DOUBLE DUTY

When COVID forced students to move to online learning, there was inadequate time to design and develop the instruction tools they needed. As educators have had to deal with health and safety concerns, schools have had to make difficult decisions about opening, re-opening, or going back to virtual. Many parents don’t know week to week whether their students will be sitting in a physical classroom or virtual one. Switching back and forth has made the situation even more difficult.

When some students are able to attend in person and others are working virtually, it’s often meant double duty for teachers. They’ve had to adapt their lesson plans to accommodate both in-class and remote students. VISO TeacherView can reduce the workload on educators by allowing them to use one platform for every situation. Whether students are working remotely at home, locally at the school, or learning in hybrid classrooms, VISO TeacherView provides a single platform solution that can be used during routine instruction with the ability to move to distance learning with the click of a button.

EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS DESERVE A BETTER REMOTE CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE

During these unprecedented times, we’ve seen school leaders, administrators, and teachers step up in an amazing way. They’ve had to learn new ways to do things. They’ve had to make difficult decisions with little time to analyze or information to go on. For many, it seems just when they start to get traction, things change again.

Educators and students deserve better. We need to give them the tools to make it easier for everyone and provide the best foundation to facilitate learning. If everyone is struggling with the technology, platforms, and communication, the time devoted to educating students is shrinking.

VISO TeacherView gives teachers the best way to manage the classroom. It reduces frustration and friction and allows teachers to teach and not worry so much about the technology. Teachers can then focus on one lesson plan for all their students regardless of technology.

Kelana Jaya LRT route disruption: Rapid Rail restoring service

KUALA LUMPUR: Repair works are being carried out following a service disruption on the Kelana Jaya LRT Line, involving the track between Wangsa Maju and Sri Rampai Stations, which was caused by an unusual flow of rainwater that damaged several track components, said Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd (Rapid Rail). Rapid Rail as the operator of the Rapid KL rail service in a statement said that the incident occurred at 10.20 am which forced the operation to stop the power supply in the area involved to allow inspection and repair work to be carried out. “Repair works are being actively carried out by Rapid Rail’s technical team to ensure that services can be restored soon,“ according to the statement. For now, a feeder service has been activated between Gombak Station and Wangsa Maju Station. Trains from the direction of Putra Heights will turn back at Wangsa Maju Station. A total of 12 free feeder buses at a frequency of every 15 minutes are operating to ensure that passengers can continue their journey. “We hope that this repair work can be completed before the evening peak hour,“ said Rapid Rail. In addition, operation staff and auxiliary police personnel have been stationed at the stations involved to help facilitate the movement of affected passengers.

12,519 cases under Weights and Measures Act recorded as of September - KPDN

SHAH ALAM: A total of 12,519 cases involving offences under the Weights and Measures Act (ATS) 1972 were recorded by the enforcement division of the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) nationwide from 2020 to September this year. KPDN deputy-director of Enforcement (Prevention) Aris Mamat said the statistics reflected the ministry’s ongoing and proactive efforts to ensure that traders adhered to the integrity of weights and measures in buying and selling for the benefit of consumers. “KPDN is committed to protecting consumers and consistently ensuring that traders adhere to established standards. Those found to have committed irregularities or non-compliance will not evade strict enforcement actions. “A violation of the provisions under the ATS 1972 could result in a maximum fine of RM40,000, imprisonment for up to three years, or both, and the court may also order the forfeiture of the weighing instrument,” he said today. He said this after heading a team of 20 KPDN enforcement officers to perform spot checks at three petrol stations around Kuala Selangor to ensure that the fuel charged to consumers matched the amount supplied through pump dispensers. Elaborating, Aris said that the ATS 1972 enforcement compliance inspections at petrol stations led to actions against the misuse of subsidised diesel fuel under Ops Tiris, resulting in the seizure of diesel valued at approximately RM16.5 million from January to September this year. “This brings the total amount of diesel seized from 2020 to 2024 to RM52.68 million,” he said. Commenting on today’s operation, Aris said that it focused on several key aspects, including the accuracy of oil pumps and meters, testing the volume of fuel dispensed, and reviewing the maintenance records of weighing and measuring equipment. He added that checks revealed all the petrol stations involved complied with the weighing and measuring regulations set. “Regarding the enforcement actions under the ATS 1972 in Selangor, we recorded a total of 283 cases from January to September last year, with confiscated items amounting to RM2.6 million,” he said.

Skills-related underemployment shows declining trend

Skills-related underemployment shows declining trend

KUALA LUMPUR: The skills-related underemployment (SRU) rate has continued to fall in line with improvements in the country’s education level, said Deputy Economy Minister Datuk Hanifah Hajar Taib. SRU is defined as tertiary-educated individuals working in semi-skilled and low-skilled jobs. Hanifah said the SRU rate stood at 37% in the second quarter of 2024, in line with high-income nations such as South Korea (38%), Australia (32%), the United Kingdom (28%), and the United States (30%). “The underemployment rate of STPM holders is 55.8%, while for degree holders, the rate is lower at 26.9%,” she said during the question-and-answer session in the Dewan Rakyat today. She was responding to a supplementary question from Datuk Mohd Shahar Abdullah (BN-Paya Besar) on the government’s efforts to address the mismatch between labour supply and demand, particularly among graduates with a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 3.5 and above who qualify for jobs in high-growth sectors. Hanifah explained that the government is actively trying to boost investments in key sectors to create more high-skilled jobs, with initiatives such as the KL20 Action Plan, the National Energy Transition Roadmap, and the New Industrial Master Plan 2030. “These measures will ensure that the country’s economy does not only rely on (just providing) low tax rates but also can meet the demand for high-quality jobs,” she said. Hanifah also emphasised the government’s commitment to developing a comprehensive ecosystem that encourages skilled workers abroad to return home, such as from Singapore where the cost of living is rising. “If the cost of living in Singapore becomes too high, skilled workers might consider returning to Malaysia, where the job ecosystem and quality of life better suit their needs,“ she noted. She added that the government is ready to strengthen upskilling and reskilling initiatives to ensure the workforce meets the needs of high-value and high-growth industries.

National Strategic Plan addresses child malnutrition with comprehensive approach

KUALA LUMPUR: KUALA LUMPUR: The 2022-2030 National Strategic Plan to Combat the Double Burden of Malnutrition Among Children in Malaysia will ensure a more comprehensive approach to addressing issues such as stunting and obesity, said Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad. He expressed hope that the plan would expedite efforts to tackle child malnutrition in order to build a healthy nation and nurture healthy Malaysians from a young age. Dzulkefly said the plan, encompassing five core strategies and 31 initiatives, took into account the functions and policies of all ministries and agencies while emphasising the involvement of various parties and the strengthening of existing strategies through cross-cutting approaches. “The plan prioritises strengthening the governance of nutritional well-being through legislation, political commitment, and stakeholder involvement, while also improving the quality and accessibility of nutritional services and creating a more conducive society. “Efforts to strengthen capacity development and human capital for the well-being of children’s nutrition, along with the synergy of child nutrition advocacy, are also emphasised,” he said during the oral question and answer session at Dewan Rakyat today. Dzulkefly said this in response to a question from Datuk Dr Alias Razak (PN-Kuala Nerus) regarding the ministry’s plan to create a master document, such as the Child Nutrition Action Plan, to address the issue of child nutrition. He said the plan aimed to have a specific impact on children, teenagers, women of reproductive age, and vulnerable groups, designed to mobilise energy effectively among all stakeholders in the implementation of strategies, programmes, and outlined activities. “One of the efforts being strengthened is the initiative to support the first 1,000 days of a child’s life, beginning with the first day of pregnancy and lasting until the child is two years old,” he said. Dzulkefly said among the activities conducted were engagement and advocacy sessions for private pharmacies and health clinics to facilitate early screenings. He said that this included conducting blood haemoglobin tests for women and pregnant mothers to reduce the risk of pregnancy complications, enabling them to plan for a healthy pregnancy.
