CHAPTER 9  Alternative Delivery System

EXPLORE

My Opinion Matters

            This activity aims for the students to be aware on how the different Alternative Delivery Systems are used in education?

            This activity will be done by pair. Search for videos that show the use of any Alternative Delivery System. Write a short review regarding the video of ADS. Present the video and your review on ADS to the class. Write your review below.

Alternative Delivery System: Video Conferencing

Location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmC4PZNbOZw

Review:

            The video shows how video conferencing can be helpful as an Alternative delivery System. In an effort to provide classrooms and libraries with affordable, high-quality video conferencing, Vidyo, Inc., is currently working with U.S schools to help enhance students' learning experiences by enabling virtual classes and field trips that supplement K-12 curriculum with real world interactions via low-cost, high-quality video conferencing.

Virtual field trips give students access to people, places and experiences that were, up until now, out of the reach of public school budgets. It can be also useful for collaborative learning. However there are disadvantages and advantages when using video conferencing.

            They show that even though the teacher is not inside the classroom they can record or play a live video of the teacher that teaches lesson to the class. It allows learning at a distance, allows access to information, promotes global collaboration, and also allows conduction of virtual field trips.

Experiencing ADS

This activity allows the students to experience using any Alternative Delivery System.

This activity will be done by group (5 members in each group). The students will simulate learning with the use of any alternative delivery system. Based on their extended readings on ADS, students will show the advantages, disadvantages, and effectiveness of using ADS.

Write below the synopsis of the simulation you plan to present in class.

As I presented it in class the students gave certain disadvantages and advantages regarding the video conferencing Alternative Delivery System. Here they are: Advantages:

1. No time constraint: Video conferencing can be conducted at any time of the day.

2. Easy communication: People can use video conferencing to communicate with anyone with video and other collaboration tools such as whiteboard, text exchange, file sharing, media sharing, screen sharing, remote control, electronic voting, conference recording etc.

3. Increased productivity: By eliminating time and district barriers, meetings can be hold anytime, anywhere with anyone.

Disadvantages:

1. Lack of personal interaction: Some meetings require a personal touch to be successful. Video conferencing can be less personal than meeting face to face, and it can be possible to miss out on vital body language when you’re struggling with a pixelated image or stuttering video.

2. Technical problems: The major disadvantages are the technical difficulties associated with smooth transmissions that could result from software, hardware or network failure. Remote connections are sometimes known to be hampered by environmental changes
