Advantages and Disadvantages of Online Learning

I have found several advantages and disadvantages for online learning, such as the class that was conducted online. I did not get an opportunity to attend that session due to the fact that my internet was not working at the time. Therefore we have run into our first disadvantage. Also, problems could arise with the website loading, and also with internet connection losing service. However, I have found that there are also some advantages to online learning. An obvious advantage would be not having to physically be present in class. This is most times, a much more convenient option for people.

End of the Semester

As we are approaching this end of this semester and thus the end of EDMS 550, I have spent some time reflecting on my time in this class. I have thoroughly enojoyed Technology and Topics and feel that I have learned a lot of valuable information. I had never heard of websites such as glogster and prezi, and had definitely never used software such as Kompozer and Magix. I would have loved to learn a little more about Magix, and have gone more in depth with editing videos. I am very happy with how my video turned out, however I would have loved to have added more special effects to it. I was just too scared of messing it up (which I did even WITHOUT going too in depth)!
