After reading a few articles on topic 1, I probably understand the difference between distributed learning and open learning.

Finally, we complete our learning through online courses. Use another form to learn. Through reading critical teaching, there is a saying: “When we interact with a group of students through mobile media videos, the interaction is still face to face.” Morris, SM, & Stommel, J. (2018).

We can discuss issues with teachers through emails and other methods. Just like our online courses now, the school has launched Brightspace and other websites, so that we can learn about our course content in the first time, and exam, assignments can also be completed on the website. At the same time, a discussion group was opened to facilitate teachers and students to discuss the content of learning together.
