The Link Between Internet Access and Education Success | Vuma
Give your child the best possible start to building a brighter tomorrow with an uncapped and reliable Vuma fibre to the home internet connection.
The pandemic and subsequent lockdown made us question how we survived before we had high-speed internet.
It made us realise that access to uncapped connectivity, like Vuma fibre to the home availability, enabled learning under lockdown and made it more engaging and efficient than ever for learners. Fibre internet allows students to remotely engage with educators and consume material in more interactive and immersive ways.
Research shows that, on average, students retain between 25-60% more material when learning online compared to only 8-10% in a classroom.
Online learning is here to stay
Although we're thankful that lockdown restrictions are easing in South Africa, we still need to follow COVID-19 safety protocols. Therefore, remote learning, reliable fibre internet, and digital learning resources are still crucial for learners looking to stay on track.
Students with reliable internet connections can also participate more actively in lessons, discussions, and activities with apps like Microsoft Teams and Google Docs, which are being used more and more in school environments. This creates a collaborative environment that significantly enhances the learning experience.
The benefits of fibre also extend to exam preparations, allowing learners to access all the online resources they need, like past papers and even interactive tests, to ace their exams.
The future is fibre
As appealing as online learning may seem, poor internet connectivity can, however, hinder the process.
Having your connection drop and cut off repeatedly or take ages to load a page or download a file can take all the fun and engagement out of the experience, making it difficult for your child to get the most out of online learning.
That's why an uncapped high-speed fibre internet connection in your home is crucial to ensure more efficient and interactive learning for your child. That's the difference between them grasping concepts quickly and enjoying the online learning experience versus becoming frustrated and disengaged.
