E-Learning for 29-7

1. What are your thoughts about home learning? Is it more effective than learning in school?

I think that home learning is just learning from home, via the internet. I feel that home learning is quite fun, as we can continue learning at home, without spreading the H1N1 virus and other flu bugs, not like when you are in school. In school there are mini gatherings and thus, the H1N1 virus and other flu virus can be spread easily. This is the plus point about home learning. I feel that learning at home is just as effective as learning in school, as the work load is the same. However, in school, we have our teachers to explain to us things that we do not know immediately, but in home learning, we have to communicate via the e-mail, and it might take awhile before our teachers get back to us. Thus, that is the plus point about going to school to learn. Another point is that the facilities in school are adequate to facilitate our learning, however, we might not have those facilities at home. However, learning at home is good as it promotes self-discipline as we have to decide for ourselves whether to do the work given now, log on to the SMB now, go on the websites now, etc. Another plus point about home learning is that we get many discussions which are very fun as it bonds the class and combines our thinking. Therefore, I conclude that no way of learning is superior to another, as each way has its own plus points.
