This is the first class that I had with Dr. Tee. I was at first quite skeptical about this course. However, after the end of the lesson I was very impressed with the way the class was conducted. For that I have to thank Dr. Tee for being an eye opener for not only me but for quite a number of us. Anyway, the first lesson was all about the basic things on Distance Learning. Me being a newbie in this topic learned a lot on the first lesson itself. Distance learning can be summarized as a field of education that focuses on the pedagogy, technology, and instructional systems design that aim to deliver education to students who are not physically there with the teacher or the other way around. Rather than attending classes in person, teachers and students communicate at times of their own pace and leisure by exchanging printed or electronic media, or through technology that allows them to communicate in real time and through other online ways.
Additionally, Dr. Tee’s video clip on Apollo 13 was very entertaining and equally informative. It gave an easier understanding on what is meant by transfer of knowledge.
I hope the class won’t mind me posting my first entry relatively late compared to the rest of you guys because I had some technical problems. But no worries it’s all ok now.
