Facebook Workplace for Online Teaching and Collaboration
A Convenient Platform for Educational Institutions
The second decade of the 21st century is indeed a time in which teaching/learning approaches changed considerably. In the final year of this decade, 2020, there has been an unprecedented transition occurred. The COVID-19 pandemic has ended up turning classroom teaching onto the telecommunication environment. It is a massive challenge for teachers to be able to supply students with knowledge amid the pandemic. Another critical question is the digital gap if the internet is used as a substitution.
Confusion also remains over the successful deployment of video conferencing applications or learning management systems for remote teaching. A far more productive medium than video conferencing apps is the social networking platform for institutions from Facebook called the Workplace. Though Workplace uses the same interface of Facebook, the platform is rarely used by education institutions. One of the specialities it offers is the storage of live online classes. The platform is affordable; the essential plan is free. It is a perfect blend of learning management system and social networking.
