The difference between an online class and a face to face class is definitely a difficult thing to adapt to. I personally believe that I contribute more in an online class because I am guaranteed a time to talk and say what I want. In a face-to-face class it is more difficult to have your voice be heard especially if everyone has something to say about the subject. Online discussion is also much more organized rather than people spouting out whatever they feel at the moment. However, It’s more work discussing in an online class because you have to go on multiple times a week and use different response techniques. I personally like to use open ended questions because it allows for a lot of discussion and detailed responses rather than closed end questions that end with yes or no. I also like to try and expand on topics by picking out a few things in the initial post that I find interesting.
This week was a little more difficult to commit to my online classes because my grandfather passed away on Thursday. It has been a long weekend and there will be many more long weeks to follow I’m sure as things need to be sorted and the house cleaned out. However, I’m glad that my grandfather was finally able to join my grandmother whom he has been missing terribly for 7 years.
