E-learning

E-learning week was great for me simply because it meant I didn't have to make the daily trip down to ulu Boon Lay for lessons and gripe about early morning (6am) wake up calls, or in-between five hour breaks. I could do the work as and when I was awake and alive to do it (mostly between the hours of 11pm and 5am; I am Nocturnal) and follow my own happy schedule the rest of the time.

E-learning I guess is good in the sense because it frees me up to do my own things when I want to; and also because ironically I do more work during E-learning week than just sitting in tutorial/lecture absorbing the lesson without actually being engaged by it. But er I guess I want to just listen too, sometimes, without being engaged :P

The gripe I have is that a lot of our E-learning seems a bit contrived; the postings aren't too creative and we post for the sake of posting without really getting involved; sometimes I have to confess I just post my own stuff without reading other people's posts; whereas in lesson I would have had listened to what the others have to say.

Other than that E-learning is okay :)
