Experiences with online learning

When the pandemic took an unexpected turn, our college had to implement online learning
throughout the semester. In the beginning, I was thrilled to embark on the online learning
experience. Even though our learning had to be done within confined spaces surrounded by
walls without any physical interaction, online learning provides me a perfect opportunity for
more situated learning.Moreover, through the use of digital devices, I was able to accomplish
tasks within a short period. I was also able to grow into a self-reliable student and online
learning had infused more discipline into me to achieve my goals. I had nodifficulties
regarding time management since it wasn’t necessary to wake up at 6 am and waste any of
our precious time walking one end of our campus to another to attend tutorial classes. I had a
more relaxed and flexible learning environment. 

On the other hand, I encountered some technical difficulties such as internet bandwidth
problems, poor video and audio quality due to unstable internet connection since there was a
high usage rate of online learning systems, video streaming, & use other digital tools. Once a
while, laziness consumes me and I always had to fight myself to get up from my bed. My
motivation and drive seems to dwindle which required constant reminder and self- reflection
on my targets and goals
Through online learning, I learn that we need to adapt to all sorts of the situation for our
survival. online education may increase educational access by providing high-quality
learning opportunities, improving student outcomes and skills, and expanding options
for educational choice but we should not totally rely on it. We should aware that physical
interaction is also crucial to in parting knowledge.
