For this week we had learnt about CMS & ESL.
π
Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) is any form of communication or interaction between two or more people via separate computers through network connection.
π It is basically we interact with people around the world using internet connection and using applications such as Skype E-mail.
π When talk about CMS in Education:
π― Started in the late 1980s and 1990s with the introduction of Communicative CALL.
π At that time we only used E-mail and Forums to get connected each other.
πΌ We also have Chatting room and the invention of long distance learning and teaching were implemented.
CMC AND LONG DISTANCE LEARNING
When all this computer mediated has been implemented in learning somehow I found it is very useful if we used it wisely and not to deny obviously it has many advantages as well as disadvantages. CMS at one point has been used for education purpose for long distance learning. This is cool actually the person did not have to go to class or university and get connected by the online communication with the educators. Video conferencing and E-tutoring is one of the way they get connected.
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
π Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product.
π As for my own opinion I think that CMS has it own advantages and disadvantages. For example it can save time and more easier but at the same time no interaction between the learners and educators would make it looks no emotional touch between this two parties.
