EIR students enjoyed their E-learning experience on Second Life where they got to meet up with new friends in Hong Kong. Glad to note students’ enthusiasm as they venture into new ways of collaborating and networking with foreign students on their research work, using 3D avatars. Students were engaged as they conduct live interviews with students from HKPoly U during the e-learning week in Week 4 of Oct 11 semester. Some have even become friends and continue to connect with one another via Facebook, MSN and Twitter! Check out EIR students’ blogs as they reflection on this amazing and awesome e-learning experience.
What’s more interesting to note is the development of a greater sense of warmth, bonding and camaraderie amongst EIR students. Now, EIR students who come from different Diplomas across TP are more comfortable with one another as they share jokes and work together on their class activities. They chat like long-lost friends now.
After seeing the smiles on my students’ faces and hearing their laughters as they talked about their research work while sharing jokes and small talk, all the long hours I spent preparing this assignment does not matter any more. It brings new life and meaning to my role as their tutor and facilitator. I have experienced the true meaning of teaching – enjoy great transfer and sharing of knowledge with great fun and great time with my awesome students!
