I feel very confident about my learning during this course. The activities were very enlightening. :D The activities performed during it were very useful, and allowed me to really think about what the task was about by using critical thinking skills that I hadn't really used in a while. It was a really excellent learning experience since we got the opportunity to design and actually act and perform as an e-tutor would. I really cant wait to apply everything I learned in a real life situation. I am already planning an online course for my students as a support platform for our traditional class.
The general outcome of this course has been excellent and I feel very prepared and competent on the subject. :D Thanks to all my classmates and e-tutor!

My reflections Unit 2 & Unit 3.
UNIT 2:
Well, I personally loved designing the e-tivity. I enjoyed the process very much and I now understand the importance of these tasks. I found it a little difficult to analyze the e-tivity and fill in the chart given. There were many points missing from the e-tivity itself, however I thought it was pretty much useful and enlightening. :D!!
I think this is a good practice of critical analysis so we learn the do's and dont's of this teaching methodology.
*************************************************************************************
UNIT 3:
I think that the activities are extremely useful, since they are real practice for us to apply all the theory into examples, to see and live the process rather than just read about it. It was a very interesting activity to "go behind the scenes" on what it really takes to design a good course, all the aspects to consider and incorporate that we could take for granted, like the clear objectives, greeting etc. I'm really pleased with the progress made during these units, I feel that the content is very clear, useful and relevant.

Distance Education Glossary
My Retrieved Concepts:
Asynchronous Communication - Non-synchronous, two-way communication in which there is a delay between when a message is sent and when it is actually received. In distance learning, asynchronous communication most often take the form of email (e.g. your professor emails you with feedback on an assignment), voicemail (e.g. you leave a message for your professor on his/her office phone), and discussion boards (e.g. you post a reply to a classmate's question in a threaded class discussion.)
Threaded Discussion - A common feature of distance learning that allows students to interact with their classmates and instructor. A threaded discussion is a series of messages on a particular topic posted in a discussion forum. A threaded discussion is asynchronous, not fixed in time or space, so students can log on at any time from any Internet-enabled computer to seek clarification for issues they encounter in their coursework, to discuss topics raised in class, or to initiate new discussions on related topics. A good online discussion has the same effect of group or in-class discussion, in which students build on one another's perspectives to gain a deeper understanding of the materials.
Course Management System - Also shortened to "CMS." The software, usually web-based, used by colleges and universities, as well as corporations and government, that facilitates distance learning by centralizing the development, management, and distribution of instructional-related information and materials. A CMS provides faculty with a set of tools that allows the easy creation of course content - syllabi, course modules, lecture notes, assignments, tests and quizzes, etc. - and is the framework in which they teach and manage the class. To an online student, a CMS is simply the vehicle by which you, the instructor, and your fellow learners interact using asynchronous discussion boards and live chat tools; access course information and materials, submit assignments, check your grades, etc.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS OF DISTANCE EDUCATION
ISAAC:
Distance education
Distance education, or distance learning, is a field of education that focuses on the pedagogy and andragogy, technology, and instructional systems design that aim to deliver education to students who are not physically "on site". Rather than attending courses in person, teachers and students may communicate at times of their own choosing by exchanging printed or electronic media, or through technology that allows them to communicate in real time and through other online ways [2]. Distance education courses that require a physical on-site presence for any reason including the taking of examinations is considered to be a hybrid or blended course of study.
Online education
As per definition on the web, it is basically credit-granting courses or education training delivered primarily via the Internet to students at remote locations, including their homes. The Online courses may or may not be delivered synchronously. An online course may need that students and teachers meet once or periodically in a physical setting for lectures, labs, or exams, so long as the time spent in the physical setting does not exceed 25 percent of the total course time. Online education encompasses various degrees and courses. Through online education, one can opt for many
Distance learning
Distance learning makes it possible to earn degrees without quitting your day job. Your schedule is more hectic than ever with work, family, and errands. When it comes to continuing your education, you need a school that works with your busy schedule. That’s where distance learning comes. It’s and plenty of bangs for your buck.

- learning
Education via the internet,network , or standalone computer. e-learning is essentially the network-enabled transfer of skills and knownetwkorledge. e-learning refers to using electronic applications and processes to learn. e-learning applications and processes include Web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classrooms and digital collaboration. Content is delivered via the Internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-Rom.
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/E/e_learning.html
Synchronous Learning
Synchronous Learning is often referred to as 'live' learning and is used in conjunction with online learning. It means that the communications occur at the same time between individuals and information is accessed instantly. People can communicate in 'real time' using their computers to both talk to each other as well as text chat. Presentations can be made using electronic whiteboards and electronic slides. This type of interaction is referred to as a 'virtual classroom'. Presentations, conversations and text can be stored (archived) and made available online as a resource.
http://www.adelaide.edu.au/clpd/online/current/synchronous/
Threaded Discussion
In a threaded discussion users have the option of responding to one another directly. Although there may be a general topic, as in the discussion example above, subtopics emerge as students respond to specific postings. These secondary postings are the "threads" that spin off from the main discussion: a student responds directly to a comment made about the main topic, and another student responds to the response, and so a thread is formed. A threaded discussion is a group conversation with simultaneous side conversations. There is little sense of sequence in a threaded discussion; you can easily chime in at any point in the conversation
.http://www.dartmouth.edu/~webteach/articles/discussion.ht
Facilitator
The online course instructor is often referred to as the course facilitator. Online instructors do not retain their traditional "teacher-centered" roles from the brick-and-mortar, face-to-face paradigm. Instead, they become the medium through which discovery learning is facilitated in a student-centered environment. The facilitator is often referred to as the "course moderator." In Interactive Videoconferencing (IVC) the far-end helping staff person, whether teacher or para-educator, is called the "facilitator."
http://www.netc.org/digitalbridges/online/glossary/
Course Management System (CMS)
CMS is a software system that facilitates e-learning or supplements classroom learning and administration. These systems are usually run on servers and accessed by students as web pages. These may include stored student work, e-learning resources, discussion forums, peer communication tools, tracking of student progress, exercises and quizzes. CMS is sometimes referred to as a learning management system (LMS) or a virtual learning environment (VLE).

a system maintained by a host computer for posting information, carrying on discussions, uploading and downloading files, chatting, and other online services. BBSs are generally created for a specific group of users and are usually topic-specific.

An online course may need that students and teachers meet once or periodically in a physical setting for lectures, labs, or exams, so long as the time spent in the physical setting does not exceed 25 percent of the total course time. Online education encompasses various degrees and courses. Through online education, one can opt for many
online degrees or online courses from various online universities that provide this facility.

Reflection on Unit 1
This first unit has been very helpful. Since I was able to study in great detail everything that has to do with Distance Education and all the factors that are intrinsically involved in this modality of learning and training.I am more convinced now, that this system happens to be more effective than traditional education, since time and distance barriers do not interfere with the student's learning. Also finding out different concepts of what a portfolio is, also happens to be useful information to apply to other areas, for example, I've been thinking about asking my current students to start a portfolio of their own.

Asunto: Traditional Vs distance Education: Differences
The most important difference between classroom based and distance education is definitely the spacial and time circumstances. For instance, in traditional education, students are required to attend regularly to the classroom to obtain the information needed for their education. Whereas in distance education, all this information and support is given via a technological device such as the internet. The similarity would be the fact that in both instances, information and guidance is provided to the student regardless of whether or not this is done in a face to face fashion or via email, or even by correspondence as it was accustomed in the past.
I think that in our time and age having a tool such as the internet, will provide us, the world population, with the opportunity to reach out and obtain the knowledge needed to improve our cultural and intellectual capacities.

Distance vs Open Education
Open education refers to the special kind of studying which implies the possibility to advance at an individual pace depending on the student's personal needs. Distance education is when the students aren't required to attend a classroom in an specific given date and time. Both kinds are flexible to meet the students needs.
