virtual learning

During the whole trip, I got in contact with lots of teachers and scholars. In the last two days, I had the luck to go on some school visits with another two representatives from Scholastic and a Malaysian teacher. We talked a lot during the trip and at one point, Juliet, from Scholastic showed us this:

This is what virtual learning really means. It not only offers a big pool of resources and guidelines for teachers to ‘guide’ and students to ‘learn’, but also addresses the problem in Hong Kong- cater for diversity. The web package was designed in a way that it offered materials for learners of various abilities. That’s what e-learning really means. It allows the learners o explore further at their own pace and their ability.


Shouldn’t we in Hong Kong do similar things?
