Collaborative learning Students can get great benefit from sharing their thoughts and teaching each other. In on-line courses, since students are probably not on the web at the same time, they can use a bulletin board to post their questions and suggestions in order to encourage and communicate with each other. Learning about culture Japanese culture may be introduced and discussed with visual aids in F2F courses. This way, the school can avoid outsiders entering the site and the problems that they possibly cause. At MCC, the Assessment Center proctors final tests for on-line students.
Students go to the center on the designated day and time.
The center requires students to present their photo IDs to identify them before they take their tests. If the student lives out of the county, the instructor can ask local public institutions such as the public library or Testing Center at a university to proctor the test. This program lets you create a class bulletin board and conduct live chat in English. With the bulletin board function, students can exchange their sentence in Japanese if students are on line simultaneously. O'Reilly says that Webboard is not multi-lingual, so live chat possibilities are, at the moment, unpromising.
