E-Learning

Hey guys, I’ll be doing on Scenario 2 Activity C. I’m supposed to identify and explain possible integration problems Mrs Xing encountered. I have gathered the following from my own understanding of the scenario given. You are free to add on /evaluate my points. To see whether Im on the right track =)

1. Surfing of pornographic websites: Content –related safety issues
Mrs Xing’s students might be too familiarised with the software she used for her ICT lessons. The many ICT lessons were conducted for English and Science. In addition she had chosen a Science topic for the E-learning session. This became a problem because her students had become too accustomed to her ICT lesson. They could have felt that the E-learning session was no different from the countless ICT lessons that she conducted. This undermined the concept of meaningful learning. They already know what to do. They are able to finish the work too soon and this could have explained why one of her students even surfed inappropriate websites.

2. Students not able to open the PPT file.
Mrs Xing failed to pre-empt what could have happened or what could go wrong during the E-learning session. This is evident by how she felt when she found out about the truth.

3. Copy and Paste: Content-related safety issues
The School’s Learning Management System is a little flawed because there are no guidelines on plagiarism. Even Mrs Xing failed to address the issue prior to the E-learning session. Thus, students freely copied the content found in the websites given to them.

Peace out,
