Assalamualaikum w.b.t
As for today, we were discussing on the role of computer assisted learning and our group has chosen a topic of independent learners.
How can CALL develop Independent learners?
Since ages ago, Electronic Portfolio was used quite frequently in regards of assisting students and learners in their studies as well as learning processes. Academic writings such as written reports, research papers, and proposals are all uploaded to internet for various purposes. Our acknowledgement on the existence of Wikipedia has shown how Electronic Portfolio live within us even before we realize how beneficial it subsistence is.
CALL provides unlimited access to knowledge and information to the students or learners generally who wish to pursue an independent studies. However, massive occurance of information does not assure our reliability on the subject. What is important is our smart choice of selection in order to have what you need.
In this regards, the role of lecturers and teachers is very minimum. Not to desert our beloved lecturers in any ways, but it just turn out that Electronic Portfolio has provided the information needed by the students ahead above time. For example, when a student wanted to consult her lecturer during the lecturer’s consultation hours, the time might not be available on his side or he might have class going on at that particular time. If he managed to schedule an appointment with the lecturer, the consultation itself always takes longer than expected.
Even so, how long the consultation takes place does not indicate higher input on behalf of the students. All these hassles and difficulties can be avoided with the help of CALL. Indeed, CALL can successfully develop independent learners and not suprisingly, more efficient learners. Thank you.
