Telecollaborative lesson

A telocollaborative lesson is a lesson in which is held online. Basically a telocollaborative lesson is an online educational project. It is very similar if not the same as any other lesson plan. The major differences is that the telocollaborative lesson consist of online communication and education versus the one on one “face to face” education (traditional). A great example of a telocollaborative lesson is an online course. Many people take online courses because it is most convenient. One does not have to attend a physical classroom anymore. Now it is possible for one to just sit in the comfort of one’s own home and join a classroom chat. This is the form of a telocollaborative lesson, a teacher sets up a curricular goal for the class to comply by, just as an objective, and the goal is intended to measure the students. The telocollaborative lesson helps to keep updated without needing to physically be present. The teacher can just create a syllabus; just as in a traditional classroom and have the students attend online sessions where everyone must attend a chat at a certain time. The lesson is not only intended to create online classrooms but also to create communication across the world. For instance, it is also used for business purposes. When one is holding up an online business and needs to communicate with the employees selling on their site, they can easily conduct an online meeting, they will telocollaborate. A telocollaborative lesson as I have stated above, is similar to a traditional course it contains very similar procedures as a behaviorist or constructivist plan. The main differences in the three plans are that a behaviorist plan is a traditional strict plan, a constructivist plan, is a active hand on plan, and lastly, a telocollaborative plan is a online course. Other than the positive aspects of a telocollaborative lesson as I have stated above, there are also a few down falls. Constructing a telecollaborative lesson takes away from the one on one time many need with the teacher. For instance, as a active and attentive student, though I try to do more than ninety percent of my assignments on my on most of the time I need that extra ten percent one on one with the professor. However, not everyone is the same but it still commits to one of the few negative aspects of constructing a telecollaborative lesson.
