A Proposed PST Model forEnhancing E-Learning Experiences

2. Motivation and Contribution
• The advent of 21st century has brought various technological
improvements noticeable in the academic setting where educators
and students are no more bound by time and space.
• A large number of educators are going for technology-driven
academic classrooms to switch the teaching and learning activities
more productively.
• An innovative education products to engage students with different
educational exercises and interactive activities using several devices.
• Proposed a PST model enables teachers, students and parents to
collaborate on a single platform from remote and save work with just
the tip of finger.

3. Why E-Learning?
• Physical presence of classrooms has not changed much since
chalkboards were introduced in Prussian classrooms in the late 18th
century (Konrad, 2007).
• Arrival of computers, tablets, and the Internet has led to the re-
thinking of many traditional teaching practices seen as an opportunity
for improvement (The Economist, 2013).
• E-learning has the methodological advantage that it is more evidently
distinguishable from other teaching methods.
• Computers and the Internet have the potential to engage students
more than traditional teaching methods.

4. Why E-Learning? (cont.)
• The reasons why many researchers, educators believe in the potential of e-
learning-
• First, computers have the potential to allow for individualized teaching and
learning. Not only the pace of teaching, but also its content can be adapted
to the needs of the individual student.
• Second, technologies increase the transparency of student progress and
allow teachers to more easily monitor and adapt to students. Teachers are
able to trace where each and every student stands, so there's no need to
check homework or any tasks during the class.
• A meta-study, 16 were experimental and only two compared online and live
instructions by the same instructor. Students who attended a 45-minute e-
learning lecture had higher achievement and higher satisfaction with the
lecture that students who attended a 45-minute live lecture of the same
lecture, Zhang (2005) and Zhang et al. (2006) have found.

11. PROPOSED MODEL
In case of proposed model
•In PST (Parents-Student-Teacher) model, educators and students are no more
bound by time and space and students can learn in a more time-efficient manner than
ever.
•This model will allow educators to create, organize and share their curricula, lesson
plans and classroom materials.
•Enables the teachers to share knowledge, exchange ideas and get feedback from
other educators.
•Teachers can give act opinions to students in a real-time by keeping track and record
performance of students, share reports with the parents with collaborating on a single
podium.
•A SMART Board is an interactive white board where teachers give lessons, write
notes and save works which may occur using class, counseling, group discussion or
group study from remote location. As a result, educators have now more choice in2017 International Conference on Education and Distance Learning (ICEDL 2017)

16. Conclusion and future work
• The Technology, Innovation, and Education (TIE) package is
homegrown to creative leaders in teaching among both teachers and
students
• Innovative educational technology power represents an entirely new
mode of teaching, or it can reproduce a better mode to use teaching
tools
• This PST model ranges from the most innovative electronic
classrooms to the more retiring technologies used in the developing
world

17. Conclusion and future work (cont.)
• The PST model allows teachers to spend more time with individual
students who are having difficulties. Meanwhile, other students in the
class can work through their lessons at their own pace.
• Improves classroom efficiency and allows for one-on-one attention in
bigger classrooms. This model unlocks the classroom a slight and
smooths communication between students, educators, parents
connecting through the Web.
• This model also archives every documents and conversation for future
use.
