Learning Online: Learning and Collaborating by University of Leeds (Week 1)

-
Hi guys,
How are you doing? Hope you are doing great!
So this time, I gonna share with you the summary that I make during my participation in one of the online classes by the University of Leeds in Future Learn.

Learning on the go or learning online?
Some apps which are used by students at Leeds University to learn online:
1. lynda.com > learn about graphic design program (video and animation)
2. Nitrazepam > synthesis for a drug
3. Youtube
4. Whats App group
5. Mendeley >  manage references when writing reports or dissertations.

Learning Effectively
What people said about learning effectively is not about effective of time but when learners feel comfortable, relaxed and able to concentrate. Learners need to know the best environment that works for them.That is one of the factors in learning effectively and some more are comfortably seated, able to listen without distraction, relaxed and focus, and conducive environment. Every people have their best place and way to learn. For me, it is a quite place and I learn better when I use my hands. What about you?
In short, it is like:
1. Feel comfortable (place, sound, environment)
2. Know your learning styles
3. Use the right format of learning sources (videos, paper)
4. Practice and test yourself (discussion, ask questions)

Learning from Video
Some students may record the lectures because they can replay that as many as they wish until they understand the materials. Som of them use VLE (virtual learning environment) but others use Dropbox, Google Docs, Google Scholar, Web of Science and wiki.

Students are more preferred to discuss topics in a seminar as their method of learning.

Communicating online VS F2F
1. Body language
2. Facial expression
3. Writing attitude
4. respectful online others
5. controlling yourself
