With the advent of technology education has made significant strides. From traditional classroom-style courses to self-paced learning and development (L&D) methods have changed to accommodate a variety of preferences and styles of learning.

To maximize the effectiveness of a live class, it is recommended to structure the sessions in line with the goals and goals of their overall course design. Instructors must, for instance make sure that every Live Session adds value to the readings and recorded videos by clarifying and elaborating the concepts, applying them in practice, discussing, and studying.
Additionally, students in live classes are able to create stronger bonds with peers and instructors through discussions in groups and collaborations, which helps them stay engaged throughout the course. This is particularly crucial for difficult subjects like mathematics, chemistry, Russian or Arabic or web programming which require a great deal of interaction and understanding.
