 My Thoughts on the Context

The program, Masters in Instructional Design and Technology, was the first program that I have to be involved in online study. I must confess that it was very challenging in that the work was very chocking and it was as if life was being squeezed out of my life. This made me to understand why some people had earlier dropped out of the program. Studying online is very challenging with the due dates and the various types of assignment given out to cover all the domains of learning and to ensure a balanced assessment.
