I think that the online learning course module would be useful for lots of unknowledgeable professors and students regarding usage of the online devices needed and how to use them in an effective way. The online learning would be useful if you have the required technological advances such as smart phones, tablets, laptops and what is more important is the WIFI. Lately, in my university AUC shifted to the online learning due to the spread of the COVID-19 Virus. This Virus is considered a very dangerous due to its symptoms, so the university shifted to the E-learning. I think this step is a very good step to get over this virus. Additionally, it could be a very good opportunity that the world would shift to the online learning instead of face to face interaction. As a result of the online learning we need to be equipped with the suitable technology that would help us to go through the online process.
Last week was the start of the online learning, there were recorded lectures associated with discussion thread on blackboard. However, other courses made an online class on zoom. I personally preferred the zoom class, as it is more interactive than the recorded lecture because during the recorded lecture I can’t raise questions. Through the module that I’ve went through I think that the professors will face some challenges during the online learning, for example communicating with students regularly due to the poor internet connection that would be experienced. The only way for a student to ask question would be through sending an email, typing questions on a shared document.
Moreover, I would prefer face to face interactive learning, because it would be easier and there will be no challenged such as poor internet connection, electricity cut. From my personal experience, last week I had an online lecture but our professor experienced an electricity cut. I think if she was experienced and knew enough about the online equipment, she would use her smart phone and mobile data 4G instead of the laptop. Each university must make sure that they are giving the required trainings and required devices and train professors to be ready by any other alternatives.
I think that people must take the online learning more serious because from what I’ve seen I knew that people are taking this period of online learning as a holiday. This was mentioned I the module. We have to do a plan for our day as if we are in the university. While you are working from home you can have chocolate, candies chips to keep you motivated during work. Finally, the main goal of the module to inform students and professors of what they should do exactly during the online learning. From my point of view I think that the course is beneficial for both professors and students.
