In my view, online learning is the way of supporting off-line learning with technologies being able to connect between tutors and students. Distance learning is the alternative of face to face learning in order to support students who have difficulties participating in the class because of the distance between teaching places and students’ base. To cover the pros and cons of the above learning systems, blended learning is the combination structure of face to face learning, online learning, and distance learning.
We can identify types of learning depending on situation and technology, but I think it does not necessary to identify those in the real learning project because each learning style complements merits and demerits of them. I think each part has complementary relations covering technical limitations and learners’ demands.
According to the increase in online learning needs, it would happen some etiquette issues in online learning. Tutors have to teach carefully considering learners’ different situations and views, and also learners are required to concentrate on the class and send feedback to tutors for improving the next class.
In terms of feedback, some learners are satisfied with the standard of online-learning and others complain about the efficiency of online learning. Therefore, tutors always need to consider the purpose of online learning and effective delivery ways for learners. Regarding subsidiary ways, I think the webinar is supporting students’ interactive process in online learning.
Most of all, the important thing is what subjects are more suitable for online learning and how to deliver those projects to learners effectively.
In the end, online learning will be developed qualitatively, quantitatively via diverse measures and learners’ reflections.
