Topic 3- Zitong Zhao

The open teaching method is a discussion about many aspects. The beginning of each new teaching method is a challenge to all aspects. Only by constant change, continuous exploration and extension, can a new mode be used perfectly. Even though a large number of students are receiving higher education, due to their own inactive attitude, lack of solid economic foundation, and high tuition fees, students also suffer from difficult economic pressure in the process of learning.
Although today, the traditional mode of teaching is still going to school, online teaching can be a very efficient way if it can reduce the pressure of students themselves. Can also let students the flexibility of the time more, outside the ease the pressure on students themselves, can also let them learn more extracurricular knowledge, enrich their own thoughts, and at the same time also can let the teacher have more time to think in addition to the content of the textbook has, what is can help students more development thinking, create new ideas.
If I am one of the students with financial burden, I would prefer to use my spare time to relieve the pressure caused by external factors in the learning process. But this way can not let me have the energy to devote myself to study. This will also make me unable to seriously learn knowledge in school. I believe that this is not the result that schools and teachers want.

    Hi ZiTong,

    I also think it is so our traditional way of education going to school face to face may make some students feel nervous. This is not the case with online education and students have more flexibility to learn other things they are interested in at the same time. Online education really adds convenience compared to traditional education.

      hello,
      What you said is right, both traditional education and online education have different benefits for students.

    Thanks for the post, Zitong. You explore the challenges with high-cost in-person education in your post, but I don’t see any clear connections to our course readings. I can’t tell if you have a good handle on what open education or open pedagogy entails. I encourage you to explore and reply to some of your peers’ posts and then edit this post to more clearly connect to our course readings.

    Also, one other small thing you can do is include an enticing title to your post. Thanks!

    Hi, Zitong

    I agree with what you say about the high tuition fees that put a lot of financial pressure on students because it doesn’t make sense to me as an adult to go to expensive college with my family’s money. The traditional education model has undergone tremendous changes in recent years. Students and teachers have gradually adapted to this change. With the development of open education, the future will become better and better!

    The best

    Lei.

      hello
      I couldn’t agree more with what you said. I also hope that in the future on the road of learning can be more and more smooth.

    I agree with you that there is a certain financial pressure for students to receive higher education. For us now, every semester we not only have to pay tuition fees, but also need to buy textbooks or some courseware due to different arrangements. If we don’t buy then we will lose a lot of points. Open education can solve this problem to some extent, and I think face-to-face courses should also try to reduce students’ financial burden. Because at the present stage, we are still in the face – to – face mode of education.

      hello,
      Yes, there are different ways for students to access knowledge, but giving access to knowledge is invaluable.
