e-Learning: The Student Perspective
'The major positive point for most students is that Blackboard gives them access from anywhere at anytime. Students can carry out more learning at a distance and at times which is convenient to them, rather than convenient to the University and its staff.'
[The best things about the VLE are] 'To have the discussion board to see the opinions of other students. To get messages concerning the course from the lecturer abd to be able to ask questions via the e-mail. To download the powerpoints and store them on my computer. It adds another dimension to learning, making it more interesting.'
[The best things about the VLE are] 'Getting to know your fellows students. More contact with the lecturer. Sharing knowledge.'
'It keeps me up to date with announcements and other course related issues. It has EVERYTHING!!! apart from the excellent lecturers on it. EXCELLENT COURSE RESOURCE TOOL!'
'Although I'm not religious the first expression I could think of is: God bless OCW. First time in my life that I KNOW I have the resources to learn. The world is a better place to live because of MIT. Who knows, you may find another Einstein.' (On MIT's OCW)
