Abstract

K-12 education is of great significance in students' growth, not only because it provides knowledge to children, but also in that it equips them with necessary interpersonal skills and affectivity, without which, education can at most be called training. Online education is booming around the world, but data obtained from Australia's schools of K-12 online education indicates the lack of sense of community nurturance among students. Based on the framework of role assignment and "engagement theory", synchronous lessons for role-playing and subject-related gamesis recommended.In order to avoid overloading the teachers in online education, volunteer supervisors for these synchronous lessons can be picked from caring parents.
