Impact of online interactions in the self (Jade)

SUMMARY;
Online interaction can be both rewarding and challenging. Students often have
preferences for online or offline learning interactions, and they may select one learning
environment over the other for varying reasons. Interestingly, the online environment can
increase interactions for quieter students, who may not feel comfortable speaking up in the
traditional classroom in the midst of other learners. A group of learners may be present
together with that same student online, but the familiar feeling of perceived anonymity online
creates a nonthreatening environment where participation can flow. Engagement is central to
learning in the online environment. It is essential to become comfortable in the virtual
environment to learn effectively there. Certain approaches can facilitate your online class
interactions and communication.

people far away, in me, especially in the midst of pandemic, on the other hand, it has also a bad
effect like stress, loneliness, misunderstanding especially news, and lack of privacy.
