Virtual learning exploded during the pandemic. Schools and education providers scrambled to move lessons online, turning to business platforms like Zoom and Teams because they were easy, available, familiar and served a purpose during a challenging time. But here’s the problem:
These platforms were built for meetings, not for teaching.
What started with a quick fix for an emergency has now become the standard, so it’s no surprise that so many parents (and students) walked away from the experience believing it doesn’t work.
If you have tried a virtual course that uses platforms like Zoom or Teams, you’ve likely seen it’s many limitations:
Some providers try to fix these limitations by offering one-to-one sessions. While these might seem more personalised, premium alternatives, it still doesn’t solve the core problem.
FunTech isn’t part of the Covid-era of virtual learning providers. Our journey into virtual learning began in 2008.
"Emily was not overly keen, but after the first day, she couldn't wait to log in and get started. She kept saying she wished school was like FunTech."
Ruth, Parent
"The virtual camp was a great success. My son was engaged and needed no additional supervision. The course leader was brilliant."
Andrea, Parent
"I cannot thank FunTech enough for another excellent course. Teachers, course material, and format are superb! Worth ever penny!"
Mrs Sheath, Parent
As I said at the start virtual learning isn’t the problem. The way it’s been done is the problem.
So, don’t let bad experiences define your view of virtual learning.
Let us show you how it should be done.
