In virtual classrooms, it’s tempting to think that technology alone can deliver quality education. But mounting evidence shows that the teacher remains central—not only for content delivery but for mentorship, critical thinking, ethics, and motivation.
A meta-analysis of several studies during the COVID-19 period found that students value live interaction with teachers more than pre-recorded material when it comes to teacher-student connection, peer interaction, engagement, and academic performance. In a sample of undergraduate students from Korea, those who experienced live online lectures rated them higher for learning efficiency, academic performance, and connection to instructors than did pre-recorded formats.
Wingu’s approach ensures that all core content is delivered by qualified human teachers with strong pedagogical training. These educators bring not just subject knowledge, but also emotional intelligence and adaptability. They can respond in real time, explain difficult concepts, and foster an environment where questions are welcome—and where mistakes become learning moments.
Live classes allow immediate feedback and peer interactions. Studies show that live feedback mechanisms increase course completion rates, student performance, and engagement. Additionally, having a live teacher makes students more accountable: attendance, participation, and understanding are visible and reinforced.
However, live classes alone are not enough. We know from the research that combining live learning with recorded content produces strong outcomes: students can revisit lessons, review complex segments, and consolidate understanding. In the study of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) online teaching in China, nearly half of teachers used a blend of live and recorded content; students appreciated the chance to pause, replay, and review.
Real tests and examinations are still essential. They provide structured assessment, measurable achievement, and can be used to guide future learning. Wingu designs assessments that go beyond basic recall—into higher-order thinking, problem solving, analysis, and application. By doing so, we align with global research that shows assessments of higher-order thinking contribute more to long-term learning outcomes.
Moreover, qualified teachers are key to designing good assessments and interpreting results. They give meaningful feedback, help students see gaps, and develop strategies to improve—rather than simply assigning scores.
Live learning guided by capable teachers is more than the sum of its parts. It produces learning that sticks, learners who are confident, and graduates who are prepared for complex challenges.
