e-learning in prison

Prisoners are encouraged to take courses on e-learning in prison. Prisoners can do their learning in their free time, without missing out on other structured activities and can choose from a wide range of courses on e-learning. E-learning have many advantages for prisoners that staying in prison. Besides, it can take a fresh approach to learning and learning upon release.

Other than that, it will give prisoners choice and opportunity to develop new skills and gain qualifications which will strengthen their employment prospects after leaving and working in the outside world. Some of the prison is providing the relax environment to allow prisoners to build their skills and knowledge.

In my opinion, taking courses on e-learning in prison is really useful for prisoners. It can makes them spend their time wisely. In my imagination, prisoners keep fighting and killing in prison. It because they can do nothing in prison, so just can do such things to spend their times. But all of this just my imagination, may be i watched a lot of movie that telling us "one day in prison equals to uncountable days in hell".

Moreover, i totally agree it will increase opportunity of employment upon leaving. Nowadays, there are many learning centre that offerred e-learning in prison. Unfortunely, in Malaysia there are no organization or learning centres offerred e-learning in prison.

e-learning for kids???

Recently, I found a website is called E-learning for kids. Now only I realize that, e-learning become more important and it is a trend in the society. Today blog, I going to introduce this website. The following is the website address:

http://www.e-learningforkids.org/index.html

E-learning for Kids is a free learning website and it established in late 2004. It is a global, nonprofit, foundation committed to fun and free learning on the Internet for children from ages 5 - 12. The staff on this website are all volunteer which included committed education e-learning experts and business professionals from around the world.

The courses that they offered include science, math, language arts, computer skills, health and life skills, English language and so on. The courses in this website are all in game form which can let the kids more interested and willing to learn.

This website is very colorful and it can really attract children attention. This is because, children pay more attention on color and game. When the kids are happy, they will easier to absorb and learn. Besides that, it also willing to help parents on the education.

In my opinion, Children is our future and also future of our country. Therefore, education is very importance to them. One of my lecturer said, learning will be easier and fast when we learn through touching and watching. I will introduced this website to my brother and sister because they have their own children and this website can really help their children. So, what is you point of view? Is this website cool? Just leave your comment here. Thanks.

Analysis of the poll 3 result

What personal qualities and values does anyone need to become a successful e-students?

The poll 3 results states that 45.5% of people have agreed that highly motivation is the main requirement to become a successful e-student, while 27.3% of people think that stress management will be the appropriate personal qualities and value to become a successful e-students. Moreover, 18.2% of people think that self-confidence is the most suitable qualities and value to become a successful e-students. Besides that, 9.1% of people think that a successful e-student should able to manage paperwork and there is 0% of people think that intelligence will be the appropriate way to become a successful e-students.

From the result of the analysis, it is clearly shows that high motivation is the most appropriate personal qualities and values to become a successful e-student. A student who choose e-learning should have highly motivation to continue their studies compare with student who study in college or university.The main reason they choose e-learning is they lack of time to college, they have to work, they can't afford to study at overseas and they have highly motivation to upgrade their studies even they know e-learning need to put more effort compare with the normal students who study in college or university. This is why highly motivation is the most important values a e-learner should have because you are working alone and you must be able to work independently.

Besides that, stress management is also the main requirement to become a successful e-students. This is because e-learning has not fixed time classes. Students should have the ability to manage their time so that they can study with convenience and flexible.

Students should have self-confidence to their own decision in their studies because the lecturer or instructor will not always lead you or help you for your decision making, so you must have confident to think carefully with your subject and able to manage the paperwork without the face to face interaction with lecturer.

Intelligent is not a main values to become a successful e-students. A student who only have intelligent but not hardworking would not become a successful and responsible e-students. I think this is why people agree with intelligent is not a important qualities and values to become a successful e-students.
