With the rapid development of science and technology and the rapid growth of information and knowledge, people have more and more demands for facilities that can provide independent learning places. In the traditional self-study places — libraries, homes, coffee shops and so on, many problems have been exposed, such as too few seats, easy distraction, noisy environment, etc., online self-study room, a new “sharing” model that can provide a quiet and clean study environment, has gradually emerged and attracted people’s attention. At the same time, more and more people are interested in the new sharing mode and join in, with online self-study rooms springing up across the country.
Online self-study room to solve many pain points, become a tuyere is the general trend
Today’s online study rooms can be divided into two types: one is led by K12 education and training institutions, and the other is a platform for people to encourage each other in the entrance exams. Either way, the basic function is the same, that is, you can see what others are doing, see how many people are studying with you, so as to play a role of mutual supervision. The difference is whether there is a fee, whether there is a limit on the number of students and whether there is a tutor.
So in the early days of this demand, some conference office software will also be used as an online study room. But as the industry has become so hot, a number of platforms have sprung up specifically for this purpose. For example, there are animations imitating real scenes on campus. After entering the building, you can choose which building to go to. Each building represents students at different stages. You can then choose floors based on your province, and then classrooms. In each classroom, you can see how many people are studying and how many people are resting. Other online study room products are much the same, it sounds like you want to do an online study room, the technical threshold is not high, it seems to be very good to enter the game, and some well-known enterprises have recently also targeted this track, it can be seen that online study room is really popular.
From the perspective of user needs, online study rooms can play a supervisory role
There is always a weak-willed side of human nature that is vulnerable to temptation, especially when alone, and it is easier to relax the demands on oneself. So “peer supervision” is a very effective force. But modern people are busy, so there is not much effective social interaction, and entertainmentism is popular. It is easy to find friends to play with, but hard to find friends to study with. In addition, many people cannot even go to libraries and offline study rooms due to the impact of the epidemic.
Online study rooms can meet these needs and replace offline study rooms to a certain extent. People have vanity and performance desire, especially some online self-study room can open the camera, in front of strangers lazy is embarrassed. And online study rooms can provide a strong sense of ritual, making it easy to create a positive atmosphere.
Vanity and ritual combine to make it impossible not to study hard. Whether you are studying hard or acting hard, there will always be benefits over time, because if a person performs long enough, there is a high probability that he will really become that person. So even prolonged “performance learning” in front of strangers can end up being something of a reality.
Other online study rooms use a payment system, which makes it easier for people to study. After all, it costs money, and no one makes money easily, so even in order to live up to the money, we have to work hard. What’s more, if you can achieve your goals through learning, the money will be worth it compared to the benefits.
From the perspective of the overall environment, knowledge anxiety and employment difficulties further promote the popularity of online self-study rooms
With the development and progress of The Times, more and more people realize the importance of knowledge, “class solidification”, “roll-in” and other phenomena all stimulate people’s nerves, so that people are more prone to anxiety. In order to get better education and job opportunities, and to minimize such anxiety, people need to constantly recharge their batteries, and the online study room is an important link to ensure the quality of learning.
Another K12 self-study room is also in high demand. Teenagers have less self-control in their studies than adults. With this kind of self-study room, teachers can better supervise students and reduce their lazy behavior. In addition, such study rooms can relieve parents’ pressure to tutor their children and solve their pain points. In terms of business prospects, Chinese parents are very willing to spend money on education, which to some extent guarantees the commercialization of online self-study rooms.

What technical support is needed behind the online study room that can interact in real time?
Compared with online classes, online self-study rooms have lower interaction frequency, but they also have high requirements for live broadcast quality. For example, it needs to support multi-person live broadcast with MAC, smooth video images without delay, real-time audio and painting synchronization, compatibility with different devices and platforms, and self-adaptation to complex network environment.
In addition to the quality of live broadcast, the online self-study room also needs to realize the seamless switch between live broadcast and online self-study scene. If students want to ask questions during self-study, they need to switch from the live broadcast state to the online self-study scene so that they can interact with the teacher in real time.
For the above pain points, anyRTC low delay live broadcast technology can provide a perfect solution.
Online study rooms will be the big wave in 2021. At the start of 2021, with the epidemic making a comeback, it’s like we’re back at the beginning of last year.

Besides students and the entrance examination, self-improvement and the pursuit of a better future have become more and more people’s goals. However, the fast pace of busy life makes many people unable to devote large chunks of time to study systematically, and the “sense of atmosphere” and “sense of ritual” is what we cannot experience when we study alone. Online study rooms can also be combined with advanced technologies such as AR in the future to make the “learning atmosphere” more real.
