Distance learning

In the course Spatial modelling in the mechanical technician programme students design products in 3D according to the instructions given by the teacher and relevant literature. Each teacher shows the process so that students can follow. The problem arises for students who were absent for various reasons. A student who is not present in the classroom, cannot see these procedures at home, and it is also a problem for them to use the literature appropriately – they spend significantly more time, so I prepared screenshots for these students. Software solutions for this task have existed for a long time, but it was only in this school year that it came to my mind that they could be very useful. There is also a variety of presentations on the Internet, but the students find it difficult to precisely find what they need. In order to facilitate access to such content I used Google Drive. Students are granted the right to access the archive, so they can watch the presentations at home. This way they can carry out the task, which they couldn’t before, and then continue to work with other students in the following lessons. The way of work described improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning, because I do not need to explain certain procedures to students who were absent.
