In this particular era technologies are evolving fast, with new invented phones and three dimensional televisions which may be seen in our home.<br /><br />In schools, chalk and blackboards happen to be changed with computer systems which resulting to children being submerged in technology in a young age.<br /><br />Technologies tend to make daily life much easier and enable tasks to be completed easily.<br />Denise Andersonhttp://yizhantech.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777902942044316948.post-82640148016310821062012-10-05T00:35:55.300-04:002012-10-05T00:35:55.300-04:00I am happy to read your stories.I admire this stor...I am happy to read your stories.I admire this stories.

I would have to say that the outcomes of an online student are dependent on several factors. The most important being the motivation of the student, and their ability to learn in a constructivist environment. Learners who are willing to take the responsibility for their own learning prosper here. <br /><br />Learners who cannot self-motivate, or are unwilling to try new technologies seem to flounder, and require much more teacher interaction. I have personally had students who contact me the first week of classes indicating they are taking their first online course, and are apprehensive. After a few weeks of hand holding, and 2-3X week phone calls, the students feel empowered to take on the online environment.<br /><br />With all of this being said, I believe a blended format is beneficial to many students. This format can pave the way for fully online potential in a student and program.<br />A.

I have been following its development for the last 2 years and have been suggesting it to students for capturing class notes and lectures. I hope it takes hold at USP. It is a great tool.<br /><br />Kevin Wolbach, BiologyKevin Wolbachnoreply@blogger.com
