At the end of the year three years ago, when students of all grades were enjoying the just-arrived winter vacation at home, they could never have expected that "vacation" from now on is the norm, but normal campus life has become a luxury.
The arrival of the epidemic caught all teachers off guard. Fortunately, the Internet is developed and the popularity of electronic devices allows teachers and students to broadcast teaching online so as not to delay learning. Of course, this credit is also inseparable from the online conference software provided by several major platforms.
Three years have passed, and even old teachers who are not familiar with electronic products can master the operation of online teaching software. Students are accustomed to this method, but some software has started to demand money. leeks are cut on students, and parents can't stand it: Can the Ministry of Education sit still and ignore it?
"Don't think about taking classes without paying", online teaching software charges are dissatisfied with
At the beginning of the epidemic, the online teaching platform that first entered the teacher's vision is the Yu Classroom smart teaching platform jointly developed by Tsinghua University and Academy Online . However, due to the large number of students, there are frequent problems such as inaccessibility and card withdrawal.
followed countless optimizations, and the live teaching functions of the SMS and Ding software have gradually improved. The above three platforms have become the main teaching methods for online classes. In comparison, is still SMS and the most teachers are used.
In the past two years, , a certain meeting of has been used for free for teachers and students. During this period, many practical functions have been updated one after another. helps teachers to facilitate the management of classroom order and improve teaching effectiveness.
But this year, the Sinica finally couldn't sit still and began to extend the sickle of cutting leeks to the teachers and students. Like other for-profit software, the Sinica also developed a membership system.
functions that were used for free in the past are now included in the paid category. is especially a camera function for teachers to supervise students' class status. No members have no right to use it, and various prompts frequently pop up to interfere with class.
In fact, the charging restriction function of this software has been launched one after another. At the beginning, the upper limit of the number of people in the meeting was very high, which was completely enough to accommodate most of the class. even more than 100 university courses can be carried out normally.
However, the platform then introduced membership restrictions, with up to only 30 students who can turn on the camera, means that teachers cannot monitor students' class status in real time, and the learning effect is greatly reduced.
A middle school teacher complained online: Some news video is so terrible! limits 30 students to turn on cameras. This morning, only one class of students can turn on cameras.
The rest of the classes are prompted during peak periods. In order to stabilize the network, students are restricted from turning on cameras. However, once the teacher opens a membership, the peak period will not be blocked and the network will be stable. It is really terrible.
member payment system aroused dissatisfaction. When will the public welfare education platform appear
? This operation will inevitably make teachers doubt. . This platform deliberately restricts the Internet speed and the use of ordinary functions of non-members. uses this to force teachers to join members. In fact, it is worth it if members can be used normally.
However, taking online classes is a helpless move by the school under the epidemic situation, and the school and teachers cannot predict when to take online classes. Therefore, if you have a membership for the whole year or quarter, it will be a waste of money if you can't use it.
However, if it is opened monthly, the price is expensive and not cost-effective. The author believes that this expenditure should not be borne by the teacher themselves. As for whether the school can bear this expenditure, it is still unknown.
It is normal for companies to make profits, but it is free at the beginning. When students and teachers are used to it, then launching a membership method is no different from cutting leeks. software also captures the psychology of teachers and parents.
No matter how poor you are, you can’t be poor in education. Therefore, even if other software usually don’t want to be a member, as long as you need to class, for the sake of the results of class, and for the sake of the price, parents will willingly pay for it.
However, can the relevant departments still tolerate its behavior by killing old enterprises penetrate into the field of education? I believe that the Ministry of Education will not sit idly by and watch, and will definitely provide reasonable policies to protect the basic rights and interests of education.
In fact, if the online platform wants to make a profit, it is not only a way to enable a membership system, but also insert advertisements, promote course products, etc. , etc., which do not affect the use function. These are good profit methods, which teachers and parents can understand.
The author's message:
But obviously, does not directly open the membership system to make a lot of profits. is a 30 yuan per month charging standard. How many students and teachers are there nationwide, the total amount will be very large.
hopes that there will be more public welfare stable live teaching platforms for teachers and students to use in the future. has been forced to use commercial software for a long time and continue to pay additional fees, which is also a great burden for ordinary families.
