The aim of the study was to explore and highlight the challenges and benefits of distance education that educators found in their practice of online teaching with preschool children during the first wave of the pandemic. An electronic questionnaire was used to collect teachers’ perceptions of (1) their own success in facilitating online sessions; (2) attitudes towards online sessions among teachers with and without experience; (3) factors that, according to teachers with and without experience, determine the effectiveness of online sessions; (4) effectiveness of online sessions for individual mental development goals among teachers with and without such experience. A total of 623 educators participated in the study. Online sessions were of particular benefit to educators who had experience of working remotely with preschool children during the first wave of the pandemic. The results of this study indicate that the capacity of the children and the effectiveness of the online sessions themselves exceeded teachers’ expectations in many ways.

The main aim of this study is to determine the advantages and disadvantages of distance teaching and promoting Intercultural Competence in learning foreign languages in the Azerbaijani higher education system. Nowadays the growing tendency of remote education proves that, education has become more reachable in comparison to the past decades. At the same time, distance education has brought new demands and regulations to the education system. The COVID-19outbreak has necessitated the online teaching process resulting in specific problems, including the maintenance of interaction in online teaching. Thus, this study explores both benefits and drawbacks of teaching foreign languages through distance learning in Azerbaijan. In this research, a quantitative research method in the form of a survey has been utilized to explore the tendency of teaching intercultural competence in foreign language classes at universities. Finally, it may be concluded that distance education provides enormous opportunities to practice intercultural communicative competence by using modern information technologies and does not differ much from face-to-face learning.

Distance Education System

Based on the analysis of the characteristics of artificial intelligence and agent, this paper discusses the feasibility of introducing Web services and intelligent agent technology into online teaching and learning and proposes a modern distance education system model based on artificial intelligence agent technology web. The architecture integrates the advantages of Agent technology and Web services. Starting from improving the shortcomings of the traditional Web-based distance teaching system, it strives to increase learners’ self-directed learning interest, monitor students’ emotions, and exchange knowledge between teaching agents. To realize students’ on-demand learning according to their aptitude, teachers’ teaching ultimately improve the system’s flexibility, personalization, and artificial intelligence. Under the guidance of learning communities and other theories, construct learner model ontology inference rules. Based on the learner’s relationship characteristics, the knowledge domain that the learner is interested in is inferred, thus constructing an intelligent information retrieval system. Knowledge retrieval is realized quickly and accurately, thereby verifying the application of learner relationship characteristics in digital learning.

At present, most distance education platforms are often featured by the lack of specialty, only deposit teaching resources on the server, and fail to meet students’ needs of selective learning and periodical learning. Secondly, there is no Internet-based online teaching platform system in the current technology to support interactive teaching services. In order to improve the teaching effect, a teaching model was proposed in this study to apply the new distance education technology integrated with interaction theory into art performance courses. The concrete combination method was introduced using the course of Cross Talk as an example. From the comparison between the traditional teaching model and the improved teaching model, it can be seen that integration of the new distance learning model into the teaching of Cross Talk can enhance the teaching effect and improve students’ learning attitude. Moreover, the courseware resources and interactive Q&A module provided via the platform can assist students to reinforce their comprehension of all the knowledge, more intuitively recognize the characteristics of Cross Talk as an art performance course and meet the requirements of modern society on art performance graduates.

This case study explored the potential for using a synchronous online piano teaching internship as a service-learning project for graduate pedagogy interns. In partnership with the university, a local music retailer, and a local middle school, three pedagogy interns taught beginning piano to underprivileged teenaged students for 8 weeks. All instruction took place in the synchronous online environment using acoustic Disklavier pianos, Internet MIDI, Facetime, and traditional method books. As a result of the experience, the students demonstrated musical understanding and the pedagogy interns developed teaching techniques, displayed improved comprehension of course content, learned about current distance teaching technology, and considered the role of music education in society. Based on these results, it might be feasible to provide piano lessons to underserved populations in remote locations while offering meaningful internship experiences to pedagogy students through distance service-learning projects.
