With the increasing number of COVID-19, schools in the country began to implement the process of learning online and offline, or often called hybird. The Telegram application can support this process with a number of features it has.
1. Cloud -based
As a cloud-based messaging application, teachers and students can access their messages from multiple devices at once, including tablets and computers, and send unlimited photos, videos, and files up to 2 GB for each file.
2. Telegram Bot
Telegram allows users to create bots within their group/channel. Bots can perform certain predefined tasks automatically without the need for user assistance. With this feature, teachers can create their own bots according to the needs of teaching and learning activities, such as bots for task collection, questions about assignments, or other activities.
3. Large Number of Group Members
Telegram has a group feature that allows users to invite up to 200,000 members. For teachers with hundreds and even thousands of students who need guidance, this feature can support teaching -learning activities, supervision, and dissemination of information related to school activities from teachers.
4. Video Call and Recording
During the online teaching and learning process, sometimes sending learning materials via chat is not enough. Most students need to get a complete explanation of the topic or material being studied, for example through a video call.
Telegram offers a video call feature that is easy for teachers to use to provide online teaching sessions. What's more, video calls can be recorded and saved at any time.
