The Covid-19 pandemic and the
associated global lockdown have necessitated changes in human relations,
including the teaching and learning environment. It is generally agreed that the
world will not be the same again. Accordingly,
online teaching and learning are gradually taking the centre stage. For those
interested in learning to improve or acquire new knowledge, and even for the joy
of learning for living, you may wish to join the new way of life. Just like
face-to-face methodology, you can
develop skills, knowledge, and attributes or values through online teaching and
learning. In the new milieu, blogs have become more attractive easily serving as course journals, forum for discussion, including group discussion,
debates and information sharing, tool
for students to participate and follow-up important class discussions. It also
offers opportunity for instruction, distribution of materials for further
reading, as well as evaluation and feedback. Class reps may become discussion
leads, and which lead could be rotated among other students. Moreover,
it could aid in transparent, and peer assessment or grading, and timely
feedback to students. Welcome to my blog!
