Online learning is very different
from in class learning, and I think that I learn better and absorb more from my
online classes than I do in class. I think that it is so different because I do
it on my time and I am able to structure my own order to do weekly tasks. I
think that the benefits of taking English online is that you are instantly able
to look up outside sources on your subject, and I often find myself reading
more on the things covered in the material. Also utilizing the online tutor is
helpful for me. In this class, being able to turn in the essay early for
grading is also very helpful. Sometimes peer editing is not too helpful for me,
and having teachers look over things is sure for getting a better score on a
paper. The blogs are my favorite, I haven’t used one prior to taking this
class. I like seeing what peers are doing with their blogs, and reading their
posts helps me know that I am on the same page with other people. Also the
videos are a good way to learn and I can easily go back to points if I missed
something, sometimes being in a classroom environment that isn’t too easy to
do. I didn’t know about the online tutor until this class, it great that you
can submit an essay at any time and have corrections right there for you to
fix. I will continue to use it throughout this year at Yavapai College.
I also didn't know about the online tutor until this class! You make such a great point about the scheduling of an online class. Although there are due dates just like in any class, there is much more time for you to be able to learn at your own pace. You can pause lecture videos, or rewatch them, and take as much or as little time as you need for your own personal learning style when reading and working on assignments!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post as to the online learning environment. You make great points as to being able to look up outside sources for use in the class. I took some courses up in Oregon and remember each desk having a computer terminal. We had the best of both worlds you might say. We could enlist the interaction of other students as well as access the web.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job, keep up the good work!

This is pretty much what I think as well. I find that if I have plenty of time to revise, my posts and assignments don't come out as illegible gibberish. The online tutor is a pretty cool thing they set up for us. I didn't get around to using it at all, but I've been hearing good things. It's good to know it's there if we need it.
