liveklassid

Liveklassid, a term used in Estonia, refers to synchronous online learning sessions conducted in real time between instructors and students. In these sessions, participants interact via video and audio while the instructor presents material, demonstrates tasks, and guides discussion. Liveklassid are usually delivered through video conferencing tools and are often integrated with a learning management system (LMS).

Typical features include real-time video and audio, chat, screen sharing, breakout rooms, polls, and digital whiteboards. Recordings may be available for later viewing, subject to policy and consent. Accessibility features such as captions and keyboard navigation are increasingly common to support diverse learners.

Liveklassid are used across education sectors, including higher education, secondary education, and professional training. They can support lectures, seminars, tutorials, and workshops, and are frequently combined with asynchronous materials to form a blended or fully online course. They require reliable connectivity and suitable hardware.

Advantages include immediate interaction, real-time feedback, social presence, and structured pacing that can help with comprehension and motivation compared with purely asynchronous formats.

Challenges include dependence on stable internet, unequal access to devices, digital fatigue, privacy and data protection concerns, and the need for deliberate instructional design to maintain engagement and accessibility.

Effective implementation involves selecting compatible platforms, ensuring LMS integration, providing captions and transcripts, obtaining consent for recordings, and offering asynchronous alternatives for learners who cannot attend live sessions.
