Ⅰ 遠程教育英語作文
With the rapid development of science and technology, tele-ecation has sped up in our country. While many people speak highly of its advantages, others see more disadvantages deriving from it.
The advocates of tele-ecation give their arguments as follows. For one thing, tele-ecation makes it possible for people in remote areas to learn the subjects they are interested in. For another, people have a wider range of choices as to teachers and lessons through tele-ecation, because they can listen to the best lessons by the best teachers in the country, or even in the world.
Just as 「Every advantage has its disadvantages」, the opponents believe that not all the people have access to tele-ecation because many are poor. In addition, the students cannot contact teachers, but interpersonal relations are important to their study.
As far as I am concerned, we should develop tele-ecation more rapidly to benefit more students. Meanwhile, we can design some programs to help teachers and students to contact each other.
Ⅱ 網路對教育的影響 寫一篇英語作文
ince its inception technology has made major strides in terms of advancement. This has seen its use for many purposes such as communication, leisure and ecation. Critics have argued that technology is blessing in disguise when it comes to its use in ecation system. The logic behind such arguments is that there are merits and demerits of its use in ecation at all levels. One of the major concerns is that technology has reced the contact hours between the teachers and the students. How can technology obstruct or destruct the quality of ecation? This is the question that this paper wishes to address by looking at the pros and cons of ecation. The use of technology in ecation mainly revolves around the use of computers (Sather. T. 1999).
To begin with, the main advantage of using computers in ecation is that it provides practice and drill for the students. Teacher instruction may become tedious over time unlike computers which provides motivation to the students to continue learning. Computers provide an alternative for students who may be discouraged from learning by making abstract material visible to them.
The other advantage is that the internet avails monumental information to students because it allows them to interact with different cultures and has information on any imaginable thing. GLOBE is an example of a program that allows students to participate actively.
Exploration is also another merit of technology on ecation. The act of researching papers and searching for information on the internet with extensive resource keeps the students engaged in learning and projects for a long period than they would with sets of encyclopedias.
In addition lesson integration is another advantage of technology on ecation. Students tend to be more exited and engaged in the subject at hand. Tedious lessons such as social studies become more interesting with streaming videos and virtual trips. People with special needs get the required attention as computers allow them to learn at their own pace. It allows the teachers to achieve more while feeling less stressed because the students receive direct instructions from the computer. Handicapped students are also aided in communication by use of assistive technology (Savage. J. 2012).
The cost of acquiring the equipments needed is also cheap because schools are able to access grants from external sources. The training that is required by the students and teachers operating in technology classrooms comes in handy because they can use it in part time jobs and future career jobs.
Another advantage is that the use of technology, computers, has made record keeping easy. Schools no longer require stores to keep files as this is easily achieved by creating database systems in computers. This makes retrieving and managing students information easy and relatively fast.
Technology has also helped teachers to combat students cheating when they are given assignments. This is achieved by the use of programs that detect plagiarism in any piece of work. This makes students do their assignments diligently even under minimum supervision.
Video games and music can also enhance performance of students unlike the prior belief. Research has shown that music alleviates depression and anxiety (Carland-Adams). Music increases cognitive functioning and enhances mood as spatial awareness. In addition, use of video games has allowed players to 『track the movement of a third more object on the screen』. This improves the ability of the player to pin point details amid clutter.
Online ecation is another field that has proven beyond reasonable doubt the advantages of technology on ecation. Self motivated students who are self disciplined, matured and have high degrees of managing time have been able to access high ecation via online lectures. This has made it possible for learners to study and at the same time under take other economic activities (Madx. C.D, 2005).
However technology has some pitfalls on ecation. The first demerit technology on ecation is on exploration. Some students may explore beyond the set parameters living them more confused than they were. The end result of such a venture is that it degrades the students』 ability to distinguish between what to take and what to ignore.
Secondly special needs ecation has proved to be very expensive to put up. This can lead to drainage of massive resources that could have been used for more integrative purposes. In addition acquiring computers for indivial students, laptops, may be very expensive more so because a replacement is needed after two to three years of consecutive use. More teachers are also required to meet the needs of students using technology. Besides many teachers still remain skeptical on taking extra classes that enable them to acquire the necessary skills because its time consuming. All these factors put together may consume a lot of resources.
Due to presence of junk information finding the right information online may be tedious. This means that teachers may take more time preparing for lessons than usual. This has proved to be a setback for the use of technology in ecation. This is also strengthened by the fact that if the failure of effective use of computers may make the students to loose on good ecational experience (Konig. M. E. 2007).
On a more general outlook, technology has been known to have negative impact on the minds of indivials. With the emergence of social networking sites like Facebook, video calling and instant messaging learners tend to spend more time on them at the expense of constructive learning. These sites also have an addictive effect on the users which makes it hard for the users to refrain from them.
The internet has also made students to be lazier than ever before. This is because students use it whenever they have hard assignments to attend to. It』s through the internet that students are getting exposed to pornographic material. This has eroded the morals of many teenage students and has also led to short concentration spans.
Another setback of using technology is that traditional instructors find it difficult to adopt the new system especially because they were used to hand outs and one on one lectures. This makes them ineffective instructors in the modern world.
The prolonged use of computers has also been said to have negative health impact on the user. The harmful electronic rays proced by the computer screens affect the eyes of the users. This has seen many users spending a lot of money on purchasing visual aids such as spectacles.
In conclusion the advantages seem to outweigh the disadvantages by great margins. For one, the 21st century heavily relies on technology for all its aspects. This means that everybody has to meet the standards if they must get some gainful results. The ecation sector is no exception to this phenomenal; it has to proce students who are well trained and imparted with basic technological skills. Teachers should also be on the forefront on ecating the students on the proper use of technology. They should prepare guidelines that will ensure that students know what to look for when using the internet for research. The curriculum developers must come up with methods of ensuring proper use of technology in ecation. This will go a long way in ensuring that students and teachers alike benefit extensively. (Lytras. M. D. 2010)).

Distance ecation as a new possibility for librarians in Estonia
Distance ecation in Estonia
Distance higher ecation in Europe is at the beginning of the third phase in its evolution (Bang 1995) and distance learning, flexible learning, resource-based learning, open learning and computer-mediated learning are becoming commonplace in the progressive ecator's vocabulary. Still, there is no widespread familiarity with the concept of modern distance ecation in Estonia. Distance ecation is associated by most people with the kind of correspondence ecation that was offered under the old regime and is often also associated with its most evident manifestation, i.e. technology. It is therefore important to convey an understanding of modern distance ecation to the Estonian ecational systems (Distance 1993).
At their meeting January 29, in 1993, the Nordic Council of Ministers made a ruling to support the Action Programme for the Baltic countries and neighbouring areas. In this Action Programme provisions were also made for ecational projects in distance ecation. On this basis, the Council accepted an application from the President of the European Distance Ecation Network (EDEN) on behalf of the national associations of distance ecation in Finland, Norway, and Sweden to perform a feasibility study in the Baltic countries. The aims of the feasibility study were to:
• assess the state of art of distance ecation in the three Baltic states, as well as to
• identify the needs that exist for further development of distance ecation in the region (Distance..., 1993).
In March 1993 the Central and Eastern European countries proposed, in the framework of the working group on regional initiatives in human resources, to establish a Regional Distance Ecation Network in co-operation with PHARE. As a first step a feasibility study on the development of such a Regional Distance Ecation Network in Central and Eastern Europe was commissioned and the European Association of Distance Teaching Universities (EADTU) was contracted to carry out this study with the Ministry of Culture and Ecation of Hungary as co-ordinator. Feasibility studies on the development of modern distance ecation were carried out in 1993 by groups of experts engaged by the Nordic Council of Ministers and PHARE.
In October 1993, at a seminar in Budapest for the official representatives of all eleven PHARE countries, it was agreed unanimously that a Regional Distance Ecation Network should be set up with a long-term perspective. Following the feasibility study, a financing proposal was agreed in 1994 for a three million ECU pilot project called PHARE Pilot Project for Multi-Country Co-operation in Distance Ecation.
The pilot project aimed:
• to act as a catalyst for national policy formulation in the field of distance ecation through measures for awareness raising, staff development, the presentation of existing models and mechanisms of distance ecation;
• to establish a network of National Contact Points in the participating countries and to develop the necessary infrastructure in all countries to allow them to co-operate on an equal basis;
• to develop on an experimental basis two pilot courses (European Studies and Training of Distance Trainers), thereby testing the feasibility of joint development by the participating countries of core course moles which can then be adapted to national requirements and context;
• on the basis of the above items, to define areas of common interests in which regional co-operation can proce an important added value, in terms of enhanced quality of outputs, speed of development and/or economies of scale (Benders, 1996).
The Estonian National Contact Point was established on 7th November,1994 and Regional Centres were set up at the Tallinn Pedagogical University, the Tartu University and the Tallinn Technical University in the framework of PHARE Programme for Multi-Country Co-operation in Distance Ecation. On August 22nd 1996 the international seminar "Modern Training and University Ecation" was arranged at the Tallinn Pedagogical University to discuss what has happened in the field of distance ecation in Estonia. At this Seminar the main obstacles to delivering distance ecation widely in Estonia were pointed out:
• lack of appropriate literature and printed materials;
• lack of modern knowledge;
• old-fashioned academic staff and subject-oriented teaching;
• lack of ideology and/or policy at the strategy level about distance ecation;
• few active learners (Jõgi 1996).
Still, it was mentioned that the rapid development of a national telecommunication network provides a possibility to make use of the most recent information technology in the field of distance ecation. Connecting the libraries, information centres, universities and schools to the Internet gives good opportunity to disseminate distance ecation all over Estonia.
Distance learning pilot project for school librarians
The distance ecation pilot project for school librarians is the first project in the Centre adopting flexible learning methods. Steps in the design and development of courses, identification of areas of need, selection of appropriate learning media, etc. began in 1995. The distance ecation pilot project for school librarians started in May 1996 and will end in June 1997.
The Aim of the Project
The aim of the project is to bring quality in service and continuing ecation to school librarians in Estonia. This project also aims to enable participants to become aware of the potential of network possibilities, to gain some basic skills about network information seeking and retrieval, publishing on the Internet via the World Wide Web, public relations and marketing, user ecation, etc. Today, from the computer at home or at workplace, the ecator or learner can access to the vast amount of library catalogues, journal indexes, reference books, full text of journal articles and books, art exhibits, employment notices, discussion groups, business data, etc. The learners in schools need help to convert information into knowledge, to avoid information overload and to identify the best sources for the specific needs and abilities of each learner. We do hope that the school library will play an active part in the ecational process of every school in Estonia and will support the work of teachers and students in showing how to make use of the modern information sources available to them.
The content
The Pilot project consists of four moles. Each mole consists of 40 hours and includes face to face session, self studying, tutorial and group works. An introctory session of 16 hours was given ring the first mole using the traditional face-to-face method and 12 additional hours were offered in order to prepare students for the telematics-based components of the course. Key aspects of distance ecation were covered and terms as distance ecation, flexible learning, resource-based learning and open learning were introced to school librarians. An overview about challenges and school possibilities was also given. Topics covered include basic network concepts, Internet basic tools, network information seeking and retrieval, publishing on the Internet via the World Wide Web, public relation and marketing, user ecation and consulting.
Some of the advantages and difficulties experienced up to the present in using the Internet for ecational delivery have been described below. The complete evaluation of the Pilot Project will follow in June 1997.

遠程教育為愛沙尼亞的圖書館員提供了一種新的可能
遠程教育在愛沙尼亞
在歐洲，遠程高等教育是在其演化的第三階段開始的。在進步的教育家說來，遠距離學習，靈活的學習，基於資源的學習，開放學習和以計算機為媒介的學習變得越來越普遍。但是，在愛沙尼亞，遠程教育還不是一個被廣泛熟知的概念。遠程教育與的大部分在舊體制下被提供的函授教育的人相關聯，也往往和它最明顯的體現方式——技術相關聯。因此，向愛沙尼亞教育系統傳達對現代遠程教育的理解是十分重要的。
1993年1月29日，在他們的會議上，北歐部長理事會作出裁決，支持對波羅的海國家和鄰近地區的行動方案。在這項行動方案中，也為遠程教育中教育項目制定了相關條款。在這個基礎上，理事會接受了來自歐洲遠程教育網路主席代表在芬蘭，挪威和瑞典的國家遠程教育協會在波羅的海國家進行可行性研究的申請報告。這個可行性研究的目的是：
•估定遠程教育在三個波羅的海國家的技術狀況
•鑒定在這些地區進一步發展遠程教育所需要的條件
1993年3月，中歐和東歐國家建議在該工作組的框架內進行人力資源的區域倡議，以與法爾共同建立一個區域遠程教育網路。作為起步，這樣一個在中歐和東歐的區域遠程教育可行性研究是委任的，遠程教育大學歐洲協會與其簽訂合同，將作為統籌員和匈牙利文化教育部
進行這項研究。關於現代遠程教育發展的可行性研究是在1993年由北歐部長理事會和法爾分派的專家小組開始執行的。
1993年10月，在一次布達佩斯的所有11個法爾國家的官方代表研討會上，與會者一致認為，一個區域的遠程教育網路，應該設立一個長遠的眼光。緊跟著可行性研究，一項關於300萬ECU的叫做法爾多國遠程教育合作試點項目的融資方案，於1994年通過。
該試點項目的目的是：
•通過採取措施來提高認識，發展工作人員，介紹現有模型和遠程教育的機制，以作為國家在遠程教育領域政策制定的催化劑
•在參與國家建立一個網路國家聯絡點，在所有國家建立、發展必要的基礎設施，使他們能在平等的基礎上進行合作
•發展在試驗基礎上的兩個試點課程（歐洲遠程練習器的研究和培訓），以測定參與國家核心課程模塊是否可以適應國家的需求和背景，從而共同發展的可行性
•在上述項目的基礎上，以界定在哪些合作區域能產生一個局部共同利益的重要附加值，無論從提高產出質量，發展的速度或經濟的規模
在法爾遠程教育多國合作的項目框架中，愛沙尼亞的國家聯絡點成立於1994年11月7日，區域中心分別設在塔林的教學大學，塔爾圖大學和塔林技術大學。1996年8月22日，國際研討會「現代化的訓練和大學教育」被安排在塔林大學，討論了愛沙尼亞在遠程教育領域發生的情況。在這次研討會上，指出了愛沙尼亞遠程教育廣泛傳播方面的最大障礙：
•缺乏適當的文學和印刷材料;
•缺乏現代知識;
•老式的學術人員和面向主題的教學;
•缺乏思想和/或缺乏在策略層面上的遠程教育政策;
還有人提到，一個國家電信網路的高速發展提供了一種在遠程教育領域運用最新近技術的可能性。把圖書館、信息中心、大學和學校連接到互聯網上提供了在愛沙尼亞遍及遠程教育的一個很好的機會。
遠程學習試點項目，為學校圖書館員
遠程教育的試點項目在學校圖書館的應用，以採取靈活的學習方法是它的第一個項目。課程設計與開發的步驟，地區需求的鑒定，適當的學習媒體的選擇等，在1995年開始。遠程教育在學校圖書館的試點項目於1996年5月開始，將於1997年6月結束。
該項目的目的
該項目的目的是為愛沙尼亞的學校圖書館帶來優質的服務和持續的教育。其目的還在於使與會者能夠意識到網路存在的潛力，獲得一些網路信息尋求和檢索的基本技巧，通過萬維網在互聯網上發布信息，公共關系和營銷，用戶教育等。今天，通過在家裡或工作場所的電腦，教育工作者或學習者可以接觸到大量的圖書館目錄，期刊索引，參考書籍，全文期刊文章和書籍，藝術展覽，就業通知書，小組討論，業務數據等。學員在學校需要幫助，來將信息轉化為知識，以避免信息超載，並找出每一個學習者具體需要和能力的最佳來源。我們希望學校圖書館在愛沙尼亞每個學校的教育過程中起到積極的作用，並支持教師和學生在展示如何利用對他們有效的現代信息資源的工作。
內容
試點項目由四個單元組成。每個單元由四十個小時組成，包括面對面的會議，自我學習，補習和小組工作。介紹會議的16個小時是鑒於在第一模塊採用傳統的面對面的方法，12個附加的小時是為了學生為遠程信息處理技術為基礎的課程組成部分做准備而提供的。遠程教育的關鍵是向學校圖書館引進靈活的學習，基於資源的學習和開放的學習。有關挑戰和學校可能性的觀點也被給予。內容包括基本網路概念，互聯網的基本工具，網路信息尋求和檢索，通過萬維網在互聯網上發布信息，公共關系和營銷，用戶教育和咨詢。至目前為止，在為教育使用網際網路的過程中的一些優勢和遇到的困難，提供已詳述如下。完整的評價試驗項目，將在1997年6月給出。

Internet Ecation Advantage And Disadvantage The advent of internet made the world very smaller. Anyone from anywhere can make business deals with people far from their place, without having to travel such a long distance. Wherever the dear ones or friends are, they can always be closer to you giving you the regular updates. This is all possible only through the Internet. Thanks to the great advancement of technology, one can now feel the world a lot closer. However this technology was not something that developed overnight. It developed through a slow process and reached this stage. Initially internet was created to enable communication through a central mainframe. The communications was limited to specific network stations. Then the internet operations turned in connecting multiple networks. Then came a number of private internet service providers. This expanded the scope of internet widely. Today people send emails, talk to others, send images, videos and also gather information through internet. The use of internet is being increasing rapidly everyday and life seems to be difficult without it. This makes it necessary to have internet ecation in schools. However there are disadvantages of it too. Here are a few advantages and disadvantages of internet ecation. Advantages: Internet is now one of the major means of communicating to different people. One can send an email to person anywhere in the world which reaches the person in just a few seconds. This quick delivery of mails has been extremely useful in expanding businesses. One can receive quicker response without wasting time. This increases the efficiency in work. Emails also help in communicating with different suppliers, buyers and sellers all around the world. Internet has also helped in maintaining personal relationships too. Chat rooms, video conferencing, etc help people communicate no matter where they are located geographically. The use of intranet in organizations has helped in quicker sharing of information, solving the queries etc. Moreover getting used to internet doesn』 need any extra qualification or course. It is simple and easy to use. With internet, there is more access to the information. There are several search engines where one can search for the required information. Also, a number of websites provide information on various subjects and hence one can gain huge knowledge through internet. There are various forums and blogs where different people can discuss about different things. This allows sharing of information and knowledge which is very important for the development of the society. Traditional means of gathering information requires visiting libraries, searching for books and going through those books. But internet has made all that very easier. One can look out for any information and can collect vast information from different sources. Many schools and colleges are adopting internet technology for communicating to students. They assign projects or work through internet and also track their progress online. Ecation is making use of advantages of technological developments. Another major advantage of internet is in entertainment instry. People now can sit at their homes, download a movie and watch it. It is no more necessary to go to cinema halls or theatres to watch a movie. There are many websites from where one can download their favorite movies. In the same way, even music can be legally downloaded. There is no limit to entertainment over internet. One can play online games with another player no matter where they live. One can also share photos, videos, files etc online. Internet is also a great means of connecting people with different background and culture. Internet has also been a great place to find life partners too. Moving around the shops to shop for different items is a thing of past. One can now shop for varied things sitting at the home. There are various websites which sell procts online. All that one needs to do is select the proct and process the payments online. In fact by shopping online, one can choose from various options available from a wide range of procts. Internet has also made the transfer of money easier. One can transfer the money to any location in just a few seconds sitting at home. Some of the other advantages of internet are booking for reservations, getting tickets for movies, trains, flights etc. There are also a number of websites which provide medical support. The advantages of internet can be termed as 『limitless』. Disadvantages: Internet has been a great source of information. Due to this it has also been a target to those who steal valuable information. Many times the information and work of the people is being stolen and presented as their own. Hence, information sharing on internet is not completely safe. Internet, no doubt is a strong means of communication between people from different background and location. But people rarely do reveal their original self. Many times people enter websites, forums and chat rooms anonymously or with a wrong identity. As long as this is just for the sake of having chats or gossips, it may be fine. But sometimes people make others believe in them and then take disadvantage of this trust. Internet has become an easier means of financial transactions. But this has given rise to internet thefts. Some people use their intelligence in developing harmful software like viruses, spyware or malware which transmit the sensitive information on the computer to certain parties. These harmful programs get installed into the computer just at a click of the mouse and that too without your knowledge. There are also phishing mails which come to your inbox in the name of a well known bank and ask for your personal information. These mails are not actually sent from the banks. The information is later used to make financial frauds. The number of financial fraud cases through internet is increasing day by day and these are posing a risk to transactions through internet. Spamming is another problem of internet. Spam emails are unwanted emails regarding advertisements or marketing that are sent in bulk. Sometimes these emails contain viruses that may corrupt the system. While sometimes, the emails themselves are annoying. There are a number of websites which themselves send adware, malware, viruses and other harmful software to the system. These can slow the PC considerable. Sometimes these malicious software rob the important information on the computer. There are also software which when get installed into the computer gives the whole control of the computer to some party. Internet is a great place for children. They create a learning curve and help children grow with technology. But pornography is something that can cause a serious impact on a child』s mind. There are several porn sites which are easily accessible and this makes it unsafe to leave children on the internet without alt supervision. Another major disadvantage to internet is addiction. Many people get addicted to internet so much that they find no time for their personal lives. This can often cause serious problems in relationships and personal life. People are often getting adjusted to the virtual world of internet and spending time with virtual people on internet whom they have never seen. Also, people are now finding ways of socializing through internet rather than socializing through real groups. This attraction for virtual world has made people ignore their true relations and life. This overpowering of internet over lives of people can be quite harmful.
