13.4.3 :-) Shyamala
Thanks Lisa for this comment:That is paper. It can be used to print out the course content, questions,
and answers from both online conferences and discussions, as
well as collect the notes written by a student in a F2F conference.
The difference however, is that in a printout of online conference...you get verbatim what the instructor
wishes to say. Unless you have good shorthand skills which I
doubt many of us are trained in ....you cannot take perfect notes while you are listening. What you
note is (what you think, at that point) your interpretation of the
instructor's words.
To further my point, a lot of courses put up the lecture notes on the net which students can access
even in traditional courses. This is because students have
expressed inability to hear and make accurate notes at the same time, among other things. Paper is a
basic necessity of any educational venture. Its what you put on
it that makes the difference!
Shyamala.
