22、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
Possible Limitations of Online Learning
If eLearning, however, is not based on solid instructional design theories and models it may lead to the following limitations:
1. It may be a "solo" act.
It is true that, although online learning might be convenient and flexible, it is also a solo act. It will not be easy for all of your learners to feel comfortable when participating in online discussions and engaging more actively with their online instructors or their virtual classmates. Some people absolutely need personal contact with their educators or trainers in order to learn successfully. Furthermore, some types of learning problems may be difficult to be addressed online, and some questions can be lost in a sea of requests and inquiries. 【1】
2. 【2】
However hard we try to fully transfer human communication to online platforms, however natural it seems to form relationships behind computer screens, a virtual environment is just not human. Nothing can replace human contact. Besides, using a computer or a tablet all the time can cause poor vision, strain injuries, and other physical problems. Consider sending guidelines about right sitting posture, desk height, etc. along with your eLearning course; it might be very useful to your audience.
3. It requires self-discipline.
If your eLearning audience lacks self-discipline, it is unlikely that they will be motivated to self study. Traditional learning and training have the benefit of easily tracking both progress and falling behind. 【3】
4. Possible lack of control.
However carefully you design your eLearning course, there is no guarantee that your messages will get across. You offer your learners control over their eLearning experience, but are they going to use it effectively? There is always the risk of your learners just going through the material without paying any attention. 【4】 Unless you know exactly what you’re doing with new technologies, it is very likely that you overwhelm or distract your audience.
Creating effective online learning courses requires knowledge, time, experience, commitment, great communication skills, and a true passion for learning. If you’ve got all that, then be sure that the advantages of your online training outweigh its limitations.
A.It may be impersonal.
B.If your eLearning content is not built to make the most of the medium it will easily become disengaging.
C.This sometimes makes learners feel they lack support and reassurance.
D.It may harm your mental health.
E.Online learning requires some IT literacy, yet not every one of your learners has much experience of computers.
F.This works for many learners as well, as some people prefer their progress to be closely monitored in order to perform.
