Nothing is perfect,no doubt e-learning having many advantages for e-student but everything have disadvantages. Today i want to share some disadvantages of e-learning, it's problem of access, software and files, high motivation, isolation. Through this article, we will let you more undertand about e-learning.
By combining the latest technology and new thinking of the Internet on how people learn, it really bringing people a lot of convenient. In fact, completely rely on internet and computer also not a best way to study and learn.
Below is the 4 major disadvantages of e-learning
1.Access
At first, learners need to have access to a computer as well as the Internet. Besides that, they need to have computer skills with programs such as word processing, Internet browsers, and e-mail. It is impossible for the learner to succeed in e-learning without computer skills and software .

Slow internet connections or older edition computers will difficult on accessing course materials .
This is the big trouble for those are not comfortable using computer so this may cause learners to give up.
2.Software and files
Another disadvantage is managing computer files, software comfortability and learning new software, including eLearning. For learners with beginner-level computer skills it can sometimes seem complex to keep their computer files organized. The lesson points you to download a file which the learner does and later cannot find the file. The file is downloaded to the folder the computer automatically opens to rather than a folder chosen by the learner. This file may be lost or misplaced to the learner without good computer organizational skills.
3.High motivation
One of the advantages of eLearning is it requires time to complete especially those with assignments and interactive collaborations. This means that students have to be highly motivated and responsible because all the work they do is on their own. Learners with low motivation may not complete modules.

4.Isolation
Another disadvantage of e-learning is that students may feel isolated and unsupported while learning. Instructions are not always available to help the learner so learners need to have discipline to work independently without assistance. eLearners may also become bored with no interaction.

In my opinion, for everything learning that without teacher or lecturer, the way of learning become more difficult, we have to rely on ourselves and put more effort. Moreover, we also need higher motivation than studying in college. It because when we studying in college,our lecturer and course mate may force and encourage to do assignment and study but as a e-learner we just can rely on ourselves . Other than that, we are studying at home through e-leaning so that is no social life, we can't make new friend and enjoy the process of reaching tasks together which is called ''team work". For e-learning,everything is individual assignment, the happiness of reaching task together, that is e-learner never understand and feel this kind of happiness.
This is my opinion, are you agree?

Happy Chinese new year....
I don't really prefer e-learning because it lacks of interaction between tutor and learner. E-learning is not suitable for those who cannot concentrate during the lessons as learner would do other things like playing computer games and messenger at the same time.
ReplyDeleteYea..I agree with you..E-Learner will never understand the feeling of "teamwork"...By the way, there are spelling error.4th disadvantage: Isolation there..Second paragraph,line 1,"without teaher", you miss out the "c". Line 3, "ourselve", it should be "ourselves". Line 5,"our lecture", it should be "lecturer". Line 6,"force and encourge", should be "encourage". Line 8,"through e-leaning", you miss out the "r".

ReplyDeletealso agree that i prefer normal learning like in colleges and university rather than e-learning.. because i guess people will become more lazier, not much interaction with people n worst of all lack of friends and by the way, there is one phrase where (I wanna sharing) the right way to construct it wil be like (I want to share)...keep updating us...thanks =)
