What about e-learning?
I am student in a communication school and e-class is a new experience for me.
Do you need to take courses that your local school doesn't offer? I recently learnt that you can sign up for classes at accredited learning institutions like the Virtual High School for instance, and take courses across a wide range of topics. What about learning online?

To me, the Internet provides a lot of advantages like for example its ability to facilitate research, providing access to many archival materials, databases and so on. It helps to spread knowledge, it challenges the idea of personal intellectual property and encourages collaborative learning and interactivity between learners. The instructor can submit assignments with emails and he can receive immediate responses.
Though, each week in Celsa’s English classes, we encounter several difficulties (a monitor which doesn’t work, a shitty connection…). I think we have to be prepared for frequent problems with the technology. Moreover, internet sites and softwares change so rapidly that we always have to refresh our skills. E-learning is more time consuming than traditional teaching and the loss of human contact is still one of its greatest challenges.
But still, it's probably the first step for a society in which education is accessible to everyone and that is why we have to figure out what is the best we can do to optimize the conditions for the teacher, and the learner. Incorporating internet technology into the structure of the course today is a necessity, especially in the fields of communication and the faculty should bring the fruits of internet use into the classroom. We also have to think about how these technologies can enable the class to do something new, or something old in a better way. What can be improved?
