Elearning①
Courses that are taught through the Internet, or online courses, have become popular in many countries. There are different kinds of online courses,but most show a video of a teacher and students in a classroom. Students watch the video online and take part in online activities. Some courses are free and open to anyone,giving students anywhere the chance to study at any time.
Other kinds of elearning are being tested around the world. Some schools in Singapore,for example,have tablets (平板电脑) and touch screens instead of books and blackboards in the classrooms. There are also social media platforms② to help the students work together on projects,and online “worlds” where the students can interact③ with each other and the digital④ environment while completing different risks.
In South Korea,some students are taught English by teachers abroad. The teachers are in their home countries and are connected to the Korean classrooms through the Internet.
