The Impact of Online Learning on Children's Education and Optimisation Strategies

Abstract

With the rapid development of technology, online education has become the new normal for children's learning. This study provides an in-depth study of the positive and negative impacts of online education on children and makes some recommendations. The study found that online education provides children with opportunities to improve their digital literacy, and helps them adapt to the learning environment in the digital age. Secondly, although online learning breaks through children's time and location constraints and increases flexibility in learning, there are a range of negative impacts. Issues such as reduced social interaction, distraction, and uneven coverage of educational resources require attention. To address these issues, this study makes recommendations to optimize the online learning experience, including adding real-time interactive elements, designing lively and interesting educational content, and providing rich and diverse learning resources. In addition, fostering children's self-directed learning skills, teamwork and creative thinking were also deemed crucial. Finally, this study appeals to the collaborative efforts of families and schools to focus on children's performance in online learning through clear learning plans and monitoring mechanisms. At the policy level, it is recommended that quality standards and regulatory bodies for online education be established to address the imbalance of educational resources and ensure that children's privacy is effectively protected.
