Summary of dimdim program:

i like how doctor BAEK describe the meaning of distance education and e learning. the way that she answer the question of the student was so nice. She also discuss the meaning of distance education that depend on time and place.



definition of e-Learning

E-learning involves the use of a computer and it include electronic device in education or any place that require training in any place

The reason for different definitions of distance education:

It has many and deferent meaning that depend on the place and reason behind using material of e learning will provide in . education, company etc. distance mean geographical distance, time distance and a possibly even intellectual distance “tremendous variety of programs serving numerous audiences via a wide variety of media" (Simonson, Smaldino, Albright, Zvacek, 2009, p. 9).
it depend on time and place that compensation result in four things in education which are same time ,same place education. 2-Different time same place. 3-same time different place in education.4- Different time and different place


My experience with DIMDIM program:

Dimdim program is so unique and I really enjoy it .it is different from skype and talkshoe There is no limit to the number of attendees or meetings because this program can fit all student . It has different kind of things that offer in this program. First the instructors can view her text course in the screen and all students can discuss every point with her. Second things the instructor can chat with each student individual and also look at the student at the same time by using the web camera . also the student who don’t have a camera can call the instructor by using phone . this serves does not require any kind of fee or to register In this program you just have to pot any name then you will log in. the instructor can record her lecture for her student so all student can listen to it.

The strengths and weaknesses of skype and Talkshoe :

Talkshoe and skype is good program they don’t require any kind of fee. But they required to register at the program. The software in talkshoe program allows hosts to start or stop the recording of their podcast any time ,but skype does not offer like this kind of thing. Also, talkshoe allowed may student to log in any chat as a guest but skype will not alow any stranger to the shat room. talkshoe offer telephone number that we can contact with the instructors of the course when it start but skype does offer that. Talksoe and skype does not offer like video came or showing text in the screen .


trends in e-learning/distance education in your work place:

i didn’t use this technology in my work place at school. I plan to use it if I become a teacher and provide my student with computer and e learning material that make my class so unique and all my student will like it and they will enjoy charring there experience with other student from all over the world
