First of all I would like to say that this is a first for me and I have never had an online class before this semester and I am hoping this will be fun. In the beginning the module talks about very basic stuff that you should have on your laptop like a browser, Microsoft Office and so on which I think most people have but there is something that I did not know about and I found it very helpful. It says that we should perform health checks on our laptops and honestly I never had the idea to check if everything is running smoothly as it should.
Secondly, what I found interesting are the roles of the teachers in online learning. In most classes I feel that there is not enough support for the students as the professors are not changing anything in their courses to support us and they just flood us with assignments like we have nothing else to do. In my opinion, there should be a balance in online instruction like we should still get assignments but we should also have enough time to do the same for other courses and that is what I like about my digital identity literacy class it is perfectly balanced as everything should be.
I know this is a hard time for both students and faculty but we can not get through this tough time if we do not support each other. We need to help each other out by anyway possible. For example, Professors should decrease the workload a bit but on the other hand students should not slack off and they have to study and engage in classes and prove that they understand the material to the professors. All I am saying is that someday we will hopefully look back on these days and we will either be happy with the outcome or extremely disappointed, we should make the best of this opportunity and have no regrets.
