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 :)

Hi JoBeth,
Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. Belle & Boo are actually based in the UK, so it still might be easier to have it sent from OZ. Why not get in touch with Esa (link on my blog) she is already selling them in Australia. If you would like it from us we will happily reserve you one, just let us know the size
