Article 5 - Disagreement

As i was reading this article I intially disagreed with the fact that they were saying how successful it was without showing any of the flaws. This made me think that if such a way of learning was completely flawless then why isnt it being used everywhere as a new form of teaching. Obviously not everyone can find such a new way of learning easy to follow. From experience throught his unit, I know that it isnt plain sailing and it takes along time to get used to. But the student on the Creative Waves course seemed to pick it up a little to easy. Then I realised that these students were in fact graphic design, photo-media and visual communication students. Therefore they have been used to using such technology for a while and would pick up this type of learning like a fish to water. But this doesnt mean all students off all cultures would, but the author thought differently.

Eventually the author goes onto say how there is a slight problem with the type of learning at the minute in the fact that the mentors/teachers dont exactly know what they are meant to be doing. This is where I agree with him. The teachers are still the most knowledagble ones in the field and therefore their knowledge can do nothing but educate the participant. If they are not being made proper use of then what is the point, it is just a waste of information and talent. Therefore I agree that a better structure should be introduced on order to make sure the most is made out of the mentors. This can only help not hinder the participants so I cant see why anyone would argue with it.
