Do you believe that e-learning was able to replace face-to-face learning during this pandemic, and what enhancements can be pursued to improve e-learning?
In my opinion, it is a relative substitution since there are subjects in the curriculum that cannot achieve the learning objectives if it is not face-to-face, such as those sciences that are learned by using laboratory equipment for the analysis of samples or studies of interaction phenomena as it happens in engineering, in the field of medicine and nursing and in the basic sciences.
I think, to some extent, not. The reason is that the social interactions of learning that are given in a classroom, are not given in the e-learning, the classes are programmed by Zoom for example, and the teacher limits those interactions, that is, I don't see how the collaborative learning can be given in a class, in the online learning.
e-learning is not an replacement of face to face learning.Also, there are many limitations of online learning.However, it played a pivotal role in learning continuation in this pendemic period.
Hi! I think e-learning and face to face learning both have their distinct appeals based on the various contexts that are associated with the learners and their surrounding environments. Thanks.
i feel that it is dependant on the subject and the students in question. For what I have been studying the E-Learning method has worked but if it required a practical element there would have been difficulties in there.
Classroom space has much more to offer than the virtual space. I think it has taken us a pandemic to understand the potential of classroom space and reflect on the strengths of the classroom space that the virtual space is not able to provide. We should use this time to restructure and redesign our teaching methods to use the classroom space effectively for elements that the virtual space cannot provide.
Many of us have worked in face-to-face environments and having to do so virtually due to the pandemic, perceive a great lack of knowledge and almost zero direction of knowledge to apply, especially the students, for whom it was their first time or they did not have this experience.
Considero que depende del material que se proporcione al estudiante y del tipo de materia, nos hace considerar en recursos innovativos para que el alumno procese la información así como el reconsiderar prácticas adecuadas a lo virtual, asimismo también es importante considerar la conciencia que hay que crear en el alumno y su compromiso por la autonomía de estudio. Sin embargo habrá materias que son eminentemente de laboratorio y hay que reforzar con simuladores para el aprendizaje.
I think it is a solution, but in my opinion it does not succeed in replacing it since interactions in face-to-face classes between teachers and students, students and students, are alibied, limited and even intentions and gestures that are part of the communicative language in a face-to-face class are not given in virtual classes.
I think each have its own place and understanding and one cannot replace the face-to-face interaction in real classroom. But we must not deny the fact that virtual classroom also pulled off really well in this pandemic and if not 100% but somewhere fulfilled the needs and requisites of Education. In classroom we are free to express and understands the aura of class in a better way as compared to virtual classroom where this personal touch is missing.
