Does it really matter how the Academy is Carried?

So far there are no principles and instructional governing teaching online and digital pedagogy. Nevertheless, the two articles are of interesting in trying to differentiate the two types of teaching method. I found it of no use to find distinct differences in ways of learning. The history of pedagogy however, reveals that leadership is at its core and is not limited to classroom practice and the institution. As a result, any kind of learning from my perspective can be said is pedagogical as long as it reflect some kind of learning principles and instruction governing it. For example, Power Point presentation should not have long sentences, but key words in a point form and 4 to 5 points per slide. However, online teaching have no dialogue to stimulate thinking and learning. In online teaching, the teacher prepare slide show with voice notes that cannot speak back to the receiver or learner, unless all five senses of learning are used. Some learners will like to have questions regarding the lesson given, but they might be depraved to do so especially if they don't have an email account or any social media network to pose the questions they have. In other ways online teaching in my point of view is bias, in that it favours a certain pattern of learning instead of using what is available to them and the teacher for effective learning. The use of online teaching, i feel that it also undermines the quality and creativeness of teachers because those with no passion and poor skills are likely to escape. Thus, not every teacher pay attention to formal rules and book learning than they merit. However, the good thing about online teaching is that lessons can be played over and over again.

Digital pedagogy on the other hand does not need to be wired, but creates a room for new learning methods and principles. Pedagogy can be described as learning and/ or methods. Its core is merely depended on the substrate for the reaction to occur. What do i mean about that? I mean learning occurs in the presence of a teacher to pose or ask questions to initiate discussion? Since learners are the ones giving answers, the conveyed knowledge is likely to last for a markedly brief time as the learning process will continue beyond the classroom through curiosity or acquiring knowledge from peers. Therefore, the aim of pedagogy is to cultivate knowledge that will assist learners to solve problems for the rest of their lives. This knowledge can be used in a work place or in academic research environment, etc.

Digital pedagogy

Digital pedagogy involves both electronics and non-electronics tools for learning and a class can be digital without Internet and computers. For example not all people have access to computers, but perhaps have access to information from using various sources of physical material like magazines, news papers, books and conversation. Media has played an important role in connecting and distributing knowledge and information. Some authors are concerned however by technology they it influences the level of learning and reading. Computer make it easier to escape spelling errors and gramma. In that way learners tend to ignore the importance of language when writing on paper. Since we have different ways of learning, digital technology may be useful and/or harmful to others at the same time. Individuals have to imagine how to use the tools they have for their own benefit and imagine the alternatives, the what if question " unplug".

However, the use of engine machines like computers allows individuals to have some skills and knowledge on how to use it using instructions or backpack. It also allows effective communication between the messenger and the receiver. But, without digital humanities computing would not be possible because these are the role players in sorting and selecting the correct and high quality information we can search for.

Digital humanities put individuals in an advantageous professional position where they're able to claim and contribute to the school of knowledge through experiments and research and made hacking a descipline. The buzz factor of professionalism is that it has drawn attention to local and international society and undisputed arguments. Concerns being directed on alternative employment and professional jobs. Although to be digital humanist you don't need a computer, humanities seems to be wired by definition, but media facilitates or reveal them.

Any form of learning that enable individuals to imagine things and put them into perspective in a creative and be hands-on can be regarded as digital.
