This is the way teachers operate in class and is at the heart of all teaching models. However, most digital models do not replicate this experience. However, there are several clear benefits if unique virtual explanations are made available when students work on their own and their teacher isn’t available to help:

1. Learning would not come to a sudden halt when errors occur.
2. Independent learning can flourish as students have help at hand.
3. Explanations can showcase application of knowledge and skills, which is different to the instruction to replay generalised theory/content.
4. Step by step explanations are invaluable for Maths as they can re-enforce correct technique for exams.
5. This is particularly important during the reflection process when awareness of weaknesses and access to an explanation is invaluable.
