Tahani discusses problems with online classes based on their experiences. The main issues are distractions, lack of recognition, isolation, and lack engagement. Specific problems for classes 6-8 are distractions, isolation, lack of recognition, and inability to cover all topics. For classes 9-10, merely understanding topics is not enough without showing applications, and it is impossible to cover everything and show applications due to time constraints. Suggested solutions include notifications, a class calendar, group work, a gamified leaderboard to track involvement, chat rooms, a central hub for sharing notes, and tracking absenteeism.

1. Hi! I am Tahani
Tahmid.
I have a little brother who is in class 6 and a cousin in class 9.
Even a few days back, they had to do their classes and coaching
online. So from their experience, I got to know about the major
problems in online classes and coaching that hampers the overall
contribution of these. I have given my suggestions keeping their
experiences in mind to make
“The Online Batch” of 10 Minute School a 10 on 10.

2. Distractions
For kids giving attention to something
boring like study is already difficult and
the attention span is even less in online
classes and there’s easy chances of
distractions.
Lack of Recognition
The amount of confidence boost
children gains while being praised in a
classroom full of students knows no
bound. However, in online classes
students can hardly gain the feeling of
recognition. As a result their urge for
doing well and studying hard decrease
due to lack of incentives.
Isolation
Children feel lonely and isolated in
online classes. And this issue is even
more in coaching because children
rarely know their classmates. So there’s
no sense of competition or scope for
improvement.
Lack of engagement
As the attention span is even less
in online classes, soon the
students feel bored and get
distracted by other things like
scrolling, playing games etc.

• Isolation
• Lack of recognition
• Lack of
• Impossible to cover all
topics in class
Due to lack of time and other issues,
it is almost impossible for any
teacher to cover everything in class
for a senior class like 9/10.
• Application of learned
topics
As the topics in higher classes are
more difficult, mere understanding
of them is not enough if the
application is not shown. However,
due to time constraint, the
applications are not possible to be
shown in class.

4. Along with the existing features, I
have given some suggestions that
might enhance student
engagement and experience
Solutions:

.
 Notifications about upcoming tests, quizzes,
homework etc. along with class notifications so
that students can prepare well for them
 Provide an updated calendar with all classes and
deadlines so that the students can stay on track and
can manage their schedule accordingly.

Group Work

7. Group Work
 For both groups of students, group work can
be a very effective step. It not only increases
engagement, reduces sense of isolation but
also students get to know and apply the
ideas of all students together which brings
out the best outcome and create a longer
lasting impact.
 This can be done by creating breakout room
and giving similar problems taught in class
or creative questions etc.
 Students will be given specific time to
discuss among themselves and after that one
student from each group will be randomly
asked to discuss with the rest of the class.

8. Gamified
Leaderboard
 The leader board will be constantly present
at one side of screen from the begin of the
online class.
 The leaderboard will be updated
continuously for any kind of progress like
joining the class in time, giving correct
answers, engagement in class and group
work etc. At the end of the class the whole
screen will display the leaderboard.
 This type of gamification will improve
student’s engagement and enthusiasm for
doing class.

9. C h a t
r o o m s
Separate chat rooms can be created so
that students themselves can discuss
their problems and get to know each
other.
C e n t r a l
h u b
A central hub can be maintained where
students can informally share their own
notes, ideas, resources related to course
etc. This will be especially effective for
students of class 9-10.
After class
Journey
After certain intervals like week or
month, learners earn virtual rewards
(Badges and Experience points) for their
overall performance in the total period of
time.

For children of class 6-8 it is very
important to ensure their attendance
so that they do not miss certain
lesson which may hamper the
upcoming lessons. For this reason,
it is necessary to track their
absenteeism and inform their
parents about their attendance.
As students from different schools
would be present, it is likely that they
would have exams in different time.
Before exams some students might
need problem solving or extra help.
A provision of help line before exam
or based on necessity special class
for a group of students can be
included.
