E-learning day is a new experience to me as I have never done it before. On this day, students need not go to school as we have to stay at home to do our online homework assigned to us by our respective teachers. This is a good idea to prepare students for the unpredictable emergencies that might happen in the future.
There are advantage and disadvantage for this day. Students are able to work at home with unlimited time given to us to complete the work over the weekend execpt for one homework, which is maths. The quiz for maths is only available to us for only one hour. Some students skip the quiz as they did not do it within the time limit. Being the lucky one to do the quiz before the time limit end, I send the questions from the quiz to three of my friends. I do not encourage assignments online with a time limit, especially when students are not notify about it.
Secondly, the instructions given to us to complete the work is not specified clearly. I believe many students recieve phone calls from their classmates, asking about the online homework. I took some time to understand the instructions, and I heard that some of my friends have even do the wrong assignments. This is one point which I hope the school can work on.
Lastly, the workload given to us is a lot more than normal school days. Other than the online homework, we also have written work given by teachers for us to complete over the weekend. Thus, when all the homework are added together, it is just like a huge mountain of homework.
My conclusion is that I enjoyed having E-learning day, but cutting down the amount of work given online and having more specified instructions will be better. I believe many students will look forward to having more E-learning days, as this is yet another fun way for us to learn in a different way.
