E-Learning Day Reflection

I had been looking forward to E-Learning Day since it was officially announced. It was what I had always hoped for; a day where students like me need not wake up early in the morning to go to school.

I enjoyed E-Learning Day as we could sleep in later and enjoy having total freedom at home. In school, we had to plant ourselves on a chair for a few hours. Sometimes, when we had insufficient sleep the previous night, we would naturally feel sleepy and tired when the teachers are teaching. Being at home gives us the freedom to do whatever we want while doing our schoolwork. This way, we can concentrate more on our work. We could even ask our classmates some topics we do not understand through online chatting. Also, while reading and learning new topics, we can read through the resources over and over again until we understand it. This way, we would not need to trouble teachers if we could not fully understand the topic.

However, there are some disadvantages of having E-Learning Day. There was a time limit for assignments to be completed and not everyone could complete it in time. For example, for this E-Learning Day, we were told that the maths assignment had to be completed by a certain time. One of my friend’s internet connection was down for that period of time and therefore could not complete the assignment punctually.

This also shows us that the Internet is not fully reliable for online learning. The connection is not stable and if it was lost we would not be able to complete our tasks.

Another bad point is that the instructions given were not clear. I had to ask some of my friends for further understanding of the instructions. Also, there were some broken links and I could not access some sites even though it was stated that it would be open after 7a.m.

Also, I feel that too much work was assigned to us and too little time was given for us to complete it. We still had to complete other weekend assignments that our teachers gave us.

Overall, I pretty much enjoyed E-Learning Day. I look forward to more E-Learning Days in the future.
