The
headline of the article I have read is “Open Learning”. As the title implies
the article describes the open learning process. The article is written by Alan
Rumney. The purpose of the article is to give the reader some information about
traditional and non-conventional approaches in learning. The main idea of the
article is a brief characteristic of “open learning” system (its relevance and
advantages in contrast with traditional way of tuition).
The author starts by
telling (the reader) generally accepted definition of open learning system. The
author (of the article) analyses the principle of open learning tuition and extracts
obvious advantages in this process which let individuals choose:
1. What
study and for how long
2. Lesson
time
3. the Place
4. the Pace
that suits them
Also, the author
draws reader’s attention to tutor’s role in this educational process, because a
trainer is the source of knowledge and at the same time he or she is your guide
and councilor during educational process. The article gives a detailed analysis
of modern informative way of getting knowledge.
The author comes to the conclusion that the “open
learning” is the most available and effective way to become more intelligent,
because it connects all necessary conditionals for productive work.
I found the
article rather interesting and useful for students, because lots of them have no
time to learn due to work or their educational level is low, so this article
can help them to find the solution to their problems.
