EDS3701 is offered strictly online. Explain what online learning is according to
your own understanding? Include both the advantages and disadvantages of
this learning method. Use your own experiences of learning at UNISA.
My experience with online learning at UNISA has been quite positive. The ability
to access course materials and engage in learning activities from anywhere with
an internet connection has been highly convenient. The self-paced nature of
online learning has been especially beneficial, allowing me to work at my own
pace and manage my time effectively. The flexibility to take courses from
different locations without the need for travel has also been a significant
advantage.
However, there are certain drawbacks to online learning as well. The lack of
face-to-face interaction with instructors and peers can make it challenging to
receive timely feedback or assistance. Additionally, the absence of a fixed
schedule or routine can make it difficult to stay motivated and keep up with the
course requirements. Technical issues can also hinder the learning experience,
disrupting access to course materials or participation in online discussions.

, Explain how Collaborative learning is used in the EDS3701 module at the
University of South Africa (UNISA)?
Collaborative learning is a teaching strategy that emphasizes learning through
group work and shared responsibility. In the EDS3701 module at UNISA,
collaborative learning is used to facilitate engagement and active participation
among students.
The module incorporates various collaborative learning activities, such as group
discussions, group assignments, and peer-to-peer feedback. For example,
students are required to participate in online discussion forums where they
engage with their peers and share ideas on course topics.
They also work in groups on assignments that require them to collaborate, share
ideas and work together to complete a task.
Furthermore, the EDS3701 module encourages students to give feedback to
their peers on their assignments, providing an opportunity for students to learn
from one another and enhance their critical thinking skills. This approach fosters
a collaborative learning environment where students learn to work effectively in
teams, develop their communication skills, and improve their ability to solve
problems.
