EDUC
165 Distance Learning
Distance Learning (EDUC 165) is
a type of educating students thru the use of media and new technologies like
computers, video recorder and others; we didn’t have to go to our University to
attend class discussion or to meet with our instructor. The learners were
taking their time to study their lesson using computer and they were required
to make their own blog in which they could used for sending their assignments
and tasks that given to them by their instructor thru the used computer and
internet connection too.
PROS

able to learn anytime and anywhere
2. can
study and work alone
3. not
required to be present at discussion
CONS
1. not
sensible if there is no internet connection
2. Tendency
to duplicate or copy the output of others
3. cannot

EVALUATION
OF THE COURSE
EDUC
165 Distance Learning, gives me so much experience that I can used in the
future. It allows me to browse and explore my knowledge on using new
technologies like computers and make my own blog. And gives me additional
experience on how to properly used technologies like internet because I only
rent one on a computer cafe to connect to the internet and I should have to
really manage my time in using the connection so that all the things and
information that could help me finish my works.
This
subject is very useful because it updated us to the new trends and issues in
our society but “for us who are taking our practice teaching outside the campus
it is not that good especially when the time allotted to complete the tasks is
very little since not all students have their own computers or laptop or if
they have it, the problem again is that they do not have internet connection at
home. Longer time for completing the task should be given so that all students
could achieve and finish it because like what I said, we are also taking our
practice teaching and we all know that being a practice teacher commits a lot
of responsibilities like making and writing our daily lesson plans, making
instructional materials at night time and teaching our students in day time.
And at our times, we have Saturday class.”- this is my first evaluation about
this course BUT since our Instructor is very open-minded and understanding, she
gives us an extension and move the deadline in passing all the tasks and it was
really cherished; to see and feel that our Instructor have care and concern for
us. Since the submission was moved, we didn’t have to rush ourselves to answer
all the modules. It allows us to gain self-esteem and self-confidence, trained
us to be a computer literate, and challenged our patience and reading
comprehension especially our skills in following instructions.
But
I still have one comment, it’s the recording of videos for the tasks
storytelling and music video, I find it too hard to accomplish because I do not
have yet my own digital camera that I need to use in recording my video.
But
to sum it up, it was a big accomplishment on our part to finish the tasks despite
of the problems that we encountered. I learned many new things especially to
become computer literate since the main tool to do these tasks is to use a
computer or new technologies.
I
am also thankful and honored to have Ms. Vanie as our Instructor in this
subject without her support, guidance and understanding, we could not make it.
Thank you Ma’am.:)
