On thursday, I had DE class same as other weeks and I surprized how Dr.Tee with many problems and busy mind came to the class and managed as well as last weeks.
In this class we had a discussion about strength and weaknesses of brain storming in DE.Some of students were agree with strengths, and some of them were disagree.But I think there are more weaknesses for brain storming strategy in DE. Becuase brain storming is a group activity technique disigned to generate a large number of ideas for the solution of a problem.In deed, we can have weak group working in DE becuase of some limitations in technology.(What is your comment?)
In the other words, I think, we can have an efficient brain storming in F2F classes because we have students beside eachother which will enhance the brain storming. Whereas, in DE we cannot have this condition .Perhapse, in future, improvment in DE technologies will affect on this issue.(Maybe I am rong, and also maybe I change it with pass of the time and more study.)

First Class After Chinese New Year
We had a little different class yesterday which was the first class after a week break and totaly the fourth. When I got in class ,I didnt see Dr.tee near his table and instead of him hana and iza
were preparing . Yes they wanted to present about underestanding distance education learners.
they began their peresentation with showing and comparing our results in their questionnaire.It
was a good presentation with nice collaboratin.I had never seen a presentation with two presenters.In my opinion, the highest point of their work happend,when they asked us to work in group around our desks about solutions for some distance learner's problems.After their presentation Dr.tee went on with a releated discussion about how to engage learners in distance which I think it was an intruduction for discussion about what is happening in our wiki space.So we made a circle to discuss with eachother depend on why participation in wiki is low so far.The main problem was about the lack of time.in deed, I agreed with Normie's opinion which wiki is a repeat of forum but it can help us to be more familiar with wiki and how we can apply it for DE.
So our class had three parts yesterday,include of a presentation,lecture,and discussion.
