There's a lot of understanding to be gained from context and from things like microexpressions, tone of voice, the motivation of others in the room, overheard conversations between teacher and students, etc etc. Online learning falls short on the human factors. But, it's so much more convenient. During a pandemic, for instance, this is a great thing; but I'm not convinced the convenience makes up for what's lost.
I fully agree with this. Plus we are learning that being on camera constantly is way more stressful than being together in person.
I will let you know...
I believe we have discussion forums or some such so some dialogue is expected.
I'm not sure I agree with this...but then I am far less of a people person than the pair of you!
It's ideas I like & I am assuming they will happen!
Oh! I was speaking in broad terms. I think it's perfect for you Ribh! Online learning is not negotiable at this time. It has to be that way. Also, you're a committed learner, so it'll work for you no matter what. But don't struggle alone, if you need further explanation, reach out to the academics.I will let you know...
Good advice. I am a bit worried about those subjects that don't really interest me as if I decide I want to do a dissertation I need to maintain a distinction average.
Do I really want to do all that work?
I am so happy for you and the people who will hear you. Is this in person or virtual?One of the things I lost when I moved was an occasional preaching spot. Figured I was done with that but my new church is small & inclusive. You all know I am a little weird so when I was asked to do the communion I chose to speak on *the Song from the Cross* ~ because it is fascinating to me how western mindsets have so obscured what was actually happening. It went well & I have my 1st preaching spot this Sunday. I am going with how on earth did Mary Magdalen mistake Jesus for the gardener?! Just because I always wanted an answer to that one.
