Week 5′s lesson is all about e-learning. Mr. Choy talked about the different factors for learning, which includes motivation, ability and methods. 

When e-learning is concern, all I can think about is, “YAY, time to sleep in at home and take my time to do the online assignment!” In my polytechnic days, there used to be a week in every semester where e-learning is assigned to it. And more often than not, that week is spent on chalet with the classmates for four out of five days and the last day will be spent cramming out all the assignments.

To be honest, e-learning wasn’t of much help to me at that time. I didn’t have the motivation to learn by myself when I could be having fun and enjoying myself. But now, as I grow older each day, education isn’t just something that I have to get through. Education has become something that I want to acquire, I now have the motivation to learn, and I think that if I’m given another e-learning assignment to do, I will do and make the best out of it now.

The blog that we have to do for our COM 125 is a form of e-learning. This allows us to review what was taught in class, write a reflection on it, and really think through what lessons we learned from all around us. It is not easy for us to do that without this writing assignment as we are living in a fast-paced society. Look, we’re already in the fifth week of school and we’ve learned so many things about the internet in these five weeks. Five weeks of school just zoomed passed us like the speed of lightning.

E-learning also allows us to search on the internet any enquiries we might have on the spot. I mean, the world is our oyster and the world wide web allows us to grasp any information that we want to seek. As long as we have the motivation to seek it, we will be able to find it, to know it and to learn it.
