online as a place or as a support

1. Lack of human resources – need skilled helper
2. Other priority (e.g. assessment documentation) overtake time
3. Multiple responsibilities
   
4. Pressure to live up to the huge responsibility – Grace: we are responsible for our own learning
   
5. Phone calls to participants – reasons given:
   

busy, no time, busy with other family obligations – Grace: commitment issues
confusing at the beginning with too many emails

did not watch videos so confused

no concept of online learning

does not spend a lot of time online, e.g. not online after work, e.g. needs
to know how long it will take to finish each module, e.g. can finish during
lunch break

does not think of the Internet as a place of study – not culturally informed
this way, not engaged this way, no concept of community outside the “required”

bus driver doesn’t want to drive when he is on vacation - life style not
include the Internet – after work, done with the Internet

consider the Internet as a support of study (this is where I get the
materials) rather than a place of study (this is the place to study)

technology is more than just type the paper on the computer but also want to
break away from the computer, does not want to be always on

what is their relationship with computer?

1. Maybe pull back group project
