Is there a big difference between online training and offline teaching of works? What problems will online portfolio training encounter? Does the training on the art works assembly line affect the progress and quality? As the first batch of institutions that responded to the "no suspension of classes" and carried out online teaching in an all-round way, Natural Light found many students' questions in online teaching practice in the past. Today, we will give you a detailed introduction to the personal experience of the trainees of interactive design online portfolio training.

　　 Is interactive design online portfolio training feasible?

　　 Wen, online teaching time of interaction design: 1 year. Admitted institutions: Loughborough University, RMIT Royal Melbourne University of Technology 。

　　 Is there any difference between online class experience and offline class experience?

There are some differences in the form. It can be said that each has its advantages and disadvantages. Online teaching will be more efficient, and will not be affected by the location and environment. I can give feedback through the network. This feedback is immediate, and it does not need to wait until the next class to raise questions. Maybe the problems of the day can be solved immediately through online communication with teachers.

　　 What difficulties did you encounter in the process of online collection? How is it solved?

There are some professional software that I haven't touched before. I mainly read online tutorials for self-study. After all, self-study ability is very important if I want to study abroad in the future.

　　 Does online class affect the progress and quality of your portfolio?

In fact, it has improved the efficiency to a certain extent. I personally think that the most important quality problem is my own. Teachers can only provide assistance and guidance. If my own standards are very strict, I will not allow my works to have poor quality.

　　 What do you think is the most important thing in online class?

Don't be distracted and ask more questions, because the online mode is that two people share the screen and voice most of the time across the screen. If there is no reminder when they are distracted, they can exchange their ideas with the teacher more except asking questions if they don't understand. Moreover, lectures are an interactive process. I often ask divergent questions in class, In fact, it is also a process of brainstorming.

Teaching itself is a thing that can be successfully completed only in a good information interaction environment. Therefore, the difference between online teaching and offline teaching lies in the change of the interaction environment. Compared with offline teaching, online teaching requires teachers and students to adapt to each other and establish a good state of cooperation in order to better complete the task.

In the online course of natural light, we focus on "how to teach" and "how to learn", rather than a fixed form, and give more choices to the combination of teachers and students as the teaching center. This can also be used to cultivate the tacit agreement between teachers and students, and the teacher-student relationship will be closer after the online course.

In the sharing by Wen, she thought that online classes are even more efficient than offline classes, which is also because the online model forces students to lose their dependence on teachers, gradually adapt to the rhythm of solving problems independently, and on the other hand, grasp the most important initiative and innovation ability to become an excellent designer.

　　 Why choose online classes?

I have always been in high school in the United States. I can't go back to China because I haven't had a holiday during the basic course. At this time, online classes have helped me a lot.

During the summer vacation, when it is inconvenient for me to come to class, I will take the initiative to negotiate with the teacher to arrange online classes to coordinate.

　　 Is there any difference between online and offline teaching?

There is no big difference in feeling, because the enthusiasm of teachers is the same.

　　 Did you encounter any difficulties during the online class?

In the process of offline classes, the biggest difficulties I encountered were lack of consciousness and procrastination, so teachers would often remind me to do my homework.

Online classes are very helpful to the progress of my portfolio. Because the teacher can urge me at any time, and there is also a time node, I will cultivate self-awareness, which helps me very well in class.

　　 What do you think is the most important thing in online class?

The most important thing about online classes is attitude. Both students and teachers need to have the same enthusiasm as offline classes. Don't be distracted even if there is no teacher nearby to supervise.

Jet lag and distance have not become obstacles to teaching. Because Xu's background is zero foundation, and the production of interactive professional works requires a lot of research and professional foundation supplement, so in the early online courses, the restrictions of place and time are omitted, and the form of courses is automatically expanded between teachers and students, and the class hours are also extended.

Through the online determination of the project theme, the rich investigation and research, vision, and output forms are well planned in advance, greatly improving the efficiency.

Interactive Design Collection

For students who are not active enough, many forms such as periodic review, work arrangement, random inspection, etc. will be added in the course to track students' learning dynamics at any time; In each online teaching process, the teacher will also guide students to think actively, exchange problems and give feedback in time through different ways to ensure the activity of thinking in class.
