Week Five

To ask the question whether I would like to learn online or not, it would be a yes and no answer. As much as the technology proves it is possible, and as much as the implications prove online learning is easier, better, faster, online learning would take away a lot of the social activities of actually going to classes and physically being present. There has been anecdotal evidence that the lack of social interaction in a ‘work from home’ situation provides little job satisfaction. To an extent, a parallel can be drawn from both scenarios. So personally, a fully online learning course doesn’t really appeal to me. However, I do hold the internet and the technologies very highly and I do believe that the online resources to support the day to day classes as ideal. The availability to share work, be it between students of a subject, between a student and his lecturer, or even cross subject interactions, can only further open the avenues of discussion and mental growth.
