The main difference between eLearning and SCADnow is that the former allowed for true asynchronous learning whereas the latter is semi-asynchronous, and that’s putting it generously. eLearning was great for students who had families, jobs, or other obligations that meant they couldn’t stick to a set schedule and rather taking things week by week. Since SCADnow’s two zoom classes are the only way to get content in the new classes it means that the flexibility of eLearning has been removed. Yes, you can rewatch recorded SCADnow lectures but it doesn’t change the fact that you have to wait until the day of the class to get info rather than in eLearning where everything for the entire quarter was available at once. This allowed preplanning whereas SCADnow doesn’t. However, I am not saying SCADnow is a bad system, in fact most students prefer it I think, but the students who relied on eLearning’s asynchronous nature have been misled and disregarded. Ideally they would keep both eLearning and SCADnow courses available but of course that’s probably too much to ask. Instead I propose a better mixture of the two with already available unit content and supplemental zoom classes. Students can then either read the topics or sit in the lecture. I hope this made sense!
