<span style="font-size: large;"> As with any type of learning, it works better for some than others. The
quality of e-learning has improved in recent years, as teachers and
students have become more comfortable with the technology.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> E-learning is an excellent option in education, particularly when there
are hindrances to traditional learning situations. For example, some
people wish to continue their educations but do not live within driving
distance of a college or university and don't find it feasible to
relocate. E-learning is a viable alternative for these students.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Convenience is one of the major advantages of e-learning. It allows
students to work and learn at their own pace without the unyielding time
restrictions of traditional learning. Because e-learning provides
access to learning materials at any time, students have the flexibility
to schedule around families, jobs and other activities. Another major
benefit of e-learning is the accessibility it provides. Students can
learn from anywhere in the world. </span></div>

past lesson has something to do with Digital-Age Literacy whereas my
professor, Sir Paguio discussed extensively and elaborately the brief
history on how technology was developed throughout centuries in general.
He mentioned the term real-time webbed interactivity. And I would like
to share some thoughts about that in particular.</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"> <span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> The sense
of interactivity which dominates the digital media stretches
as far back as we care to look into the roots of human creation.</span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">It
takes us beyond more classic
issues such as Eco's question of whether texts are to
be used
or interpreted. Almost everyday, I open my Facebook
account, Twitter, or MySpace and it only shows that I am highly active
in social networking. I've never thought that these simple digital
interactions would have a significant impact and importance in my
academics in particular. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: medium;">
Now that I have created my own blog, it gave me a sense of belonging to
yet another site that enables me to have wider connections to people
from different parts of the globe. </span><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; font-size: medium;">What the rise of new digital
media has done is to widen the focus of interest beyond the
object created, to my participation in a process of playing
out a multitude of interactions. And for that, I am Thankful.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: small;">The use of computers in education started in the 1960s. With the advent
of convenient microcomputers in the 1970s, computer use in schools has
become widespread from primary education through the university level
and even in some preschool programs. Instructional computers are
basically used in one of two ways: either they provide a straightforward
presentation of data or they fill a tutorial role in which the student
is tested on comprehension.<br />
If the computer has a tutorial program, the student is asked a question
by the computer; the student types in an answer and then gets an
immediate response to the answer. If the answer is correct, the student
is routed to more challenging problems; if the answer is incorrect,
various computer messages will indicate the flaw in procedure, and the
program will bypass more complicated questions until the student shows
mastery in that area.<br />
There are many advantages to using computers in educational
instruction. They provide one-to-one interaction with a student, as well
as an instantaneous response to the answers elicited, and allow
students to proceed at their own pace.The computer really works in wondrous ways. </span></span></div>
