Holiday Break

During the break I spoke with my love ones a lot over the phone. Also I rested and ate lots of food. And of course...I thought a lot about the new year and the things I wanted to do in 2008 :) Let's see now what my destiny brings...Oh! Talking about destiny...February 6th is the Chinese New Year...and this is the Year of the Rat.

Virtual College

This year I've learnt about The Virtual College. I've always preferred to teach face to face, and I was afraid of the virtual experience. However, I've learned that the interaction with students online is also very interesting. Some of the benefits of teaching online are:

-Online teaching allows for 24/7 access to class materials, online classrooms etc.
-Online instructors working for colleges or universities whose libraries have electronic collections have 24/7 access to business research, online journals and magazines and often online or e-books.
-Using the Internet as a classroom provides the instructor the ability to conduct classes with students from across multiple time zones, without having to travel.
