With many countries closing their schools, students are to study at home. Technical problems and distractions can pose a serious threat to the future of education. Home automation can come to learners' aid to grant an ideal living and studying environment. Let's see how!
COVID-19 remote education aftermath
As schools across the nations are shutting down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, educators rely more and more on remote learning.
It's a "new stage" for education. After all, technology plays a crucial role in facilitating classes during the virus outbreak. Nowadays, teachers and students stay in touch through video conferencing and other online educational applications.
Since 2020 homeschooling has become the new norm. We have seen many new technology developments such as faster internet connection and improved hardware. Many of such developments came to be before the pandemic. However, their implementation has skyrocketed over the past few months. As classrooms worldwide are going into the "cloud," the use of teaching applications also expanded.
Technology may seem a step forward in education. However, is it really so? We believe that the secret is in creating the right learning environment both at school and at home. In both cases, smart automation systems can prove to be the key factor in future education.
Focusing on homeschooling, let's look at how home automation can provide the support needed.
Keep your kids engaged when homeschooling
Undoubtedly, virtual learning may disengage and segregates students. Staring at a screen watching hours of videos leads to a dramatic reduction of concentration. HDL technology can help them stay focused by offering a smart home automation system.
Here is an example:
Using a computer with various video games might distract your kids. You can project the online class to the large TV screen, making your kids feel like they are in an actual class with the teacher.
Moreover, the HDL lighting system can provide various lighting settings to keep your kids' spirits high. Everybody needs a boost to their morale when studying, right? You can switch the light to study mode to create an immersive ambiance. A cold, bright shade for science classes, and a warm, soft tone for art classes. Awesome!
Keep the environment fresh and cool
Your kids have to stay all day long in the same room. It is natural for them to feel tired and impatient. Part of this can be caused by the hot and stuffy air. It is vital to keep the environment fresh and cool so that your kids can stay refreshed for an intensive studying schedule.
Depending on your settings, the home sensors can detect poor air quality. At that point, the HDL automation system turns on the air conditioner and ventilator automatically. Just like that, your kids can pay attention to their teacher, feeling refreshed and comfortable.
Natural light can also play an essential part in our comfort. That's why installing a smart shading system is recommended. The system can draw the curtains to let the sunlight flood in and close them when there is too much heat. HDL technology takes care of every tiny detail for the well-being of the students.
Bring safety to your home
You can't be there with your kids all the time. Your kids always end up being alone sometimes. How can you run your errands without worrying about your kids' safety?
In this regard, you can set the defense mode to protect your home from illegal intrusion. If your door or window is open without permission, HDL smart automation can trigger the alarm. The system will also send you a message to take further measures. Furthermore, no matter where you are, you can check out what is going on in your house by surveillance cameras. Your kids can safely focus on their lessons.
Conclusion
The sudden shift from classroom-based to remote learning had a significant effect on smart home technology. Setup the proper studying atmosphere requires a massive challenge for parents. However, this issue can be tackled quickly with HDL technology. If you are interested in home automation, contact us!
