April 10, 09- I contributed part of this to one of the discussions threads

Currently this e-learning module is an e-learning experience for me. I would not be able to study in this module if it were not e-learning based. E-learning in my context is simply 'learning from a great distance'. The very fact that this is possible is incredible. It could have been the old fashioned printed material coming to me from Pete and Stevie, but now it is email, hopefully a chat and the most lively is this discussion forum through which I am learning and interacting with a class. Having said this, the experience is very patchy for me. As long as I am able to log onto the internet and stay connected I receive the module and the experience. As soon as my internet goes off, which it has numerous times, I am shut out. When I am finally able to log on again, I have to catch up on many threads of discussion and have not yet been able to cover all that I seem to have missed in between.
The other fact Iam most concious of is the time lag. And it is because of this I have not yet been able to connect through a chat. With all the obstacles this module still remains a miracle. And I hope I am able to learn all that I need to at the end and complete it.
Amy tells me that I am still not enrolled and I wonder at that because I am participating in this discussion!
