In
this era, knowing open and distance education is a powerful tool. The reasons
are different, because they will depend on the learner’s need, for example: if
he want to finished a career but he is working and has fear for be on a group
with young people the virtual class are perfect for he.
Other
reason that this kind of class offer are the impulse to the autonomous
learning, which some intrapersonal students will find excellent to work in this
way because they will be studying and learning on his own rhythm, and time; but
the teacher has to be conscience about the students that has interpersonal
intelligence because they will have trouble adapting themselves to this system.
These students may do not like working on a virtual class, but one as teacher
needs to impulse the motivation of the learners.
The virtual
class can be similar to the normal class; the difference will depend on how the
teacher recreates the environment on the virtual class and the condition the
class will be more a like the regular system of class. This aspects will be
easier to the students to feel more unite to the new form that they are try to be part and that is the
virtual class. The students will be feel comfort studying at their own speed,
also they will be impulse to search and investigate further that they know;
with this they can create a new critical opinion.
In my
opinion, I still prefer a little more the normal class because well until I enter
the university I always had this style of teaching. I now trying to understand
the virtual class because I know that it is the new trend of the learning
process so that one of my reasons that I select this class to learn how to use
the new tool on teaching that is the virtual class. Virtual classes are using
in actually by most of the universities around the world, also in most of the
work places like corporations are creating programs for their workers to
continue learning; some of this programs are online courses also know as
virtual classes.
Virtual
classes are a good new way to learn and I believe that they can work because the
use that they are getting, but to have a excellent capacity the teacher that
gives this kind of class has to pay a lot of attention to they students; for
example : giving feedback for the activities and comments that they do. I said
that because last semester I have a sad experience using virtual class; the
teacher he did not check the students work and if we have doubts he did not
answer it or answer them after 3 weeks later, so we had been force to find some
external help from others teachers. That was my experience were I think that
virtual class to be better the teacher needs to simulate a regular classroom. In
conclusion both styles are very useful.
