on-line learning experience
so far i have really enjoyed the on-line learning experience. i think it forces students to be a bit more responsible and disciplined in their education. however one downfall to this is that we don’t have the teacher telling us to our face exactly what we need to do and it can be harder to ask questions in an e-mail as opposed to in person. people who tend to be on the shy side can be a bit more outgoing in on-line sessions since they don’t have the anxiety of lots of people being around and lookign at them, on the other hand for those who have problems being around other people on-line classes don’t help them learn to cope or get over their fears. there are some subjects however that are just not condusive to an on-line learning environment. classes that are more discussion based for example or math classes where students may need to visually see the teacher going through all the steps in order to properly understnad the concept.
