autonomy

I can't agree more that IT shape the new form of learning. Students are granted autonomy so that they can learn in a most effective and comfortable speed. Moreover, they can choose whatever they want to learn. With the help of online tools, they can find out references with great ease.
However, the role of teacher should not be a minor one. We are always told that teachers are facilitators in classrooms nowadays. Students is the centre of the classroom. Moreover, we seldom consider teachers as regulators. As learn with IT enables students to choose, it is essential that teachers cam provide clear CILOs and learning objective to them. Teachers should indict the core of the learning and emphasize that students should all finish that part. At the same time, different kinds of assistance should be provided to different students. Thus, students will not get missing in the highly autonomouos environment
