Share a story about your best learning experience. Why did you enjoy it? 

In fact, what I have to admit is that my best learning experience is brought by online learning. Now I’m living in an information ear, many aspects of this world are quite different from what it was in my memory. And in terms of the development of education, I believe it is attributed to the advancement of the Internet. Before I entered the university, actually most of my studies tasks were completed in the classroom, and the lecturers would not make too many requirements on us except for finishing homework. Textbooks and handout materials had become the most important materials in learning. At that time, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, and I didn’t have more options. When I enter the university, I started realize and understand the power of online learning. I personally support constructivism, which emphasizes the significance of experience.

Basically, a constructive learning model is composed of four basic steps, gaining actual experience, observing and reflecting, forming abstract concepts, testing in a new situation, and eventually returning to the step of gaining experience to continue the cycle. In my opinion, experience is the most important thing in the learning process. In the past, my understanding knowledge I learned from textbook was rather abstract, because there were no materials other than the words and pictures in the textbook that could be reference for me to enhance my experience. Now, when I’m studying in the university, things are totally changed. The Internet becomes the primary source in learning, lecturers would students with a lot of useful resources, text is no longer the only material I can get. video, audio, pictures are combined, which has undoubtedly strengthened my experience and understanding about objects. Owing to this, the overall learning effects is improved and I do enjoy learning now.
