Learning at One's Own Pace
- In the case of WWW class, we can aim at improving/developing teaching/learning materials in the form of "personal learning materials".
- Learning in WWW class is "learning on a personal computer connected to the Internet". Thus, one can learn
- anytime convenient
- anywhere convenient
- at one's own pace
- On the contrary, it is difficult to pause or return a stage of a realtime instruction. Indeed, if learners would start pausing or returning on their convenience, the traditional class does not hold.
The traditional scene of the lecture of mathematics is such that learners are busy in copying what is written on the blackboard into their notebooks. Naturally, in them remains no room for understanding. Yet, even if they stop taking notes and try to listen to the lecture, words simply pass away.
Those who can realtimedly follow the matematics class is very scarce and of a special talent. Most of the students irritate, feel pain, be in despair, or be in anger at the mathematics class.
Moreover, it is physically difficult to listen to the lecture in concentration. There is a statistic saying "at most 20 minutes".
- The WWW class is off-realtime. Learning at one's own pace is possible. There is no time limit for learners to clear hard points and to reach understanding a subject.
Needless to say, in order that one can proceed this kind of learning, learning materials prepared here must be very-well-designed.
