Learning management in digital classrooms

Therefore, the current society has been described as a digital education society that contributed effectively and actively to adopting education and heavily relying on digital sources of education, which are the internet, electronic computers, and social media sites, where these digital sources radically changed the educational system and the educational process as a whole. From here, it became clear to us that digital education is one of the most important means relied upon by the educational system, as it offers a set of educational and training programs for teachers and learners, anywhere and at any time, depending on information and communication technology. Digital education is considered a means that focuses on information technology in real-time or asynchronous, as it is a practice of modern teaching practices aimed primarily at presenting educational content to students within an interactive framework between the teacher and the learner. It also focuses on building mind maps and conceptual diagrams around educational content, which relies on scientific techniques and multiple technological media, where the student depends on what is called active learning, meaning interaction with the teacher, the educational content, and fellow learners to acquire skills that help him face all life problems digitally, relying on a set of electronic systems. General goal: To equip participants with the latest trends and theories in managing and leading education in digital classrooms and increasing interaction through some interactive programs so they can achieve the highest educational and pedagogical goals in an enjoyable atmosphere for students.

Training methods for training programs: The trainer generally tends to use the following training methods in all programs: (educational workshops, cooperative learning, training lecture, role-playing, brainstorming workshops). Training tools used in training programs: Laptop + data projector + white display screen + two paper boards + paperboard stand + large colored pens + audio equipment + transparent adhesive tape. Specifications of the required training hall: 1- Availability of a nearby mosque or prayer room, preferably within 50 meters of the hall (for women’s and men’s courses, separate prayer spaces are necessary). Prayer times are observed with a break of no more than 20 minutes including prayer and rest. 2- Suitable, clean, and nearby bathrooms (separate for women and men, close to the hall). 3- Organized, appropriate, safe parking for trainees close to the hall. 4- Signage inside the venue bearing the institution’s name, program, trainer, course location, date, and start and end times. 5- The hall should be spacious, clean, with additional space inside for practical exercises. 6- Seating arrangements should be coordinated with the trainer, with women’s seats separated from men’s according to our Shariah, principles, and societal values. Seating can be in a U-shape, V-shape, or circle workshop style, with adjustable and movable tables, comfortable and mobile chairs, and arrangements that ensure good eye contact and ease of movement for the trainer. 7- Good audio systems with a portable wireless microphone. 8- A table for the trainer’s tools, including the laptop, bags, and training materials. 9- A large display screen and large paperboard. 10- Coordination with the management for hanging explanatory papers on a stand or wall. 11- Ensure good ventilation and air renewal. 12- Proper lighting, preferably white light. 13- No distracting images or content conflicting with values or advertisements for other entities. 14- For courses with a TV circle for male and female trainees, ensure the TV circle is ready, with two screens—one for the training display and another for the trainer’s video—and wireless microphones for communication between the two halls. 15- Smoking inside the training hall, corridors, or bathrooms is strictly prohibited. 16- Cleaning staff should organize, clean, and deodorize the hall before the program starts and during breaks. 17- Ventilate the hall by opening all windows an hour before the training begins to refresh the air, energy, and oxygen, and periodically during breaks. 18- Arrange trainees’ notebooks and chairs, ensuring they are in good condition before and during the training. 19- The organizing body and course management prepare a card with trainees’ names to facilitate acquaintance and for the trainer to recognize them. 20- The organizing body prints trainee cards bearing the training entity’s logo, success skills logo, program name, and attaches them to the trainer’s chest. These are collected from the course secretary at the hall entrance and returned after the trainee leaves to record attendance and control the system. 21- Hall decor colors should be light and calm. 22- Excess chairs beyond the number of trainees are removed periodically. 23- Two high chairs should be provided for the trainer to enable attendees to see him during activities and while seated. 24- A printer should be available in the training hall for printing emergency training forms. 25- A reception table outside the hall’s entrance, managed by the course secretary, for welcoming trainees, coordinating attendance, and answering inquiries. 26- A welcoming stand outside the hall bearing the institution’s name, logo, program, trainer, course location, date, and start/end times, welcoming participants. 27- A large advertising board inside the hall behind the trainer, bearing the institution’s name, logo, program, trainer, course location, and date. 28- Welcome and motivational posters for trainees at entrances and corridors leading to the course venue. 29- Regularly check the cleanliness, deodorization, and sterilization of bathrooms, with welcoming signs for trainees. (Refer to Appendices — Ideal Design Appendix for the Training Hall) Buffet: A buffet for trainees twice daily, including water, fresh juices, pastries, tea, coffee, cappuccino, and cake (with attention to renewal, innovation, and presentation quality). Also, the following items are placed on the trainees’ table, with each trainee receiving: 1- A large, new, cold, pure bottled water. 2- A clean glass cup beside the water bottle for each trainee. 3- A new box of tissues on each trainee’s table. 4- A selection of refreshing candies that melt in the mouth and contain natural sugars to help energize. Notebooks and Educational Materials: The trainer will provide the course coordinator with the course booklet within 72 hours, including (the progressive presentation of the course, scientific material, and exercises). It is the intellectual property of the trainer, bearing the success skills logo, and should be properly photographed and packaged. The trainer’s name, success skills logo, website, and contact numbers must be prominently displayed on the cover. (See Appendices — Training Bag Covers). It will be professionally printed and packaged at the expense of the organizing entity, with the printing cost deducted from the course revenue. Methods of Evaluation and Assessment of Training Programs: 1- Evaluation tools by the trainer and course management: Training is a performance gap filler, and for the training program to succeed, a system of factors contributes to its success: the trainer, course management, services, training hall, training kit, training objectives, trainees, internal and external training environment. The course is evaluated before, during, and after, with a pre-course needs assessment meeting to confirm trainees’ needs, understand their training objectives, review the training program, and assign tasks (see Appendices — Pre-Program Evaluation Meeting). Daily meetings are held after each training day for 30 minutes, including the trainer, the training team, the course director, and the services manager, to review the day’s program and discuss improvement methods for the next day (see Appendices — Daily Evaluation Meeting). A final review meeting is held after the course ends for an hour to evaluate the program and include recommendations for improvement in future presentations (see Appendices — Final Evaluation Meeting). The initial evaluation relies on expectation charts and trainees’ experience forms (see Appendices — Expectation Chart and Experience Form), filled out before the program begins. During and after the program, evaluation is based on observation, measurement, daily trainee evaluation forms, and a evaluation board. 2- Evaluation tools by trainees: a- Experience forms (see Appendices — Expectation Chart and Experience Form) b- Daily and final evaluation forms (see Appendices — Training Program Evaluation Form) c- Daily evaluation board (see Appendices — Daily Evaluation Board) d- Suggestion box (see Appendices — Suggestion Box). These evaluation tools are periodically reviewed and analyzed using Excel daily (see Appendices — Evaluation Form Analysis). Conditions for passing any training program: To receive a certificate of completion, the participant must: - Attend at least 90% of the program hours. - Actively participate in all activities. - Pass the training assessments designed by the trainer. Regulations to consider during the organization of the training: 1- The trainer is the team leader in the training program, representing the team leader, with the right to request everyone to increase effort and contribution. 2- The course coordinator or manager holds a briefing session with the trainer at least one day before the program begins, explaining participant backgrounds, training needs, main issues faced by them and their community, and their religious, sectarian, cultural, economic, social, and occupational backgrounds. 3- A daily end-of-day session is held to evaluate each training day, including the trainer, course manager, and coordinator, to review trainee and trainer feedback and improve the course. 4- Smoking inside the training hall, corridors, or bathrooms is strictly prohibited, especially for the administrative, marketing, and training staff. 5- All training, administrative, and marketing team members must respect prayer times and perform prayers in congregation with trainees, as they serve as role models. Prayer will be observed immediately after the call, and delaying or missing it is not allowed. 6- No one other than the trainer is allowed to enter the hall without special permission, which is at the trainer’s discretion, to serve the training program.
