      With due respect, not sure whether there are so many charismatic lecturers (speakers) in JCs or in general.


      I prefer physical lectures more for interaction and eye contact between the lecturers and the students. Think physical lectures will engage the students more meaningfully.

        One kid i know has to return to sch on gap day for training. I believe it depends on which cca.

        For discussion purpose only.
        Wouldn't recordings be easily shared around the world? Not sure how copyright can be addressed.
        To pay same high fees for online ivy leagues? Not sure how attractive is that for students and parents who will be paying for it. I wouldn't know.
        Recently i attended a talk on site. Speaker was amazing and commanded whole audi attention and applauses. Managed to get the link to recording afterwards and watched with my kid. Kid lost interest within minutes. Even i found the video version with same speaker and speech, didn't give the same luring effect, charm and effectiveness.


        Ok, my child has to go back for cca in the morning but reporting time not as early as normal school days. But from noon he is free to do his own stuff. I can feel he is already in wind down mood starting from the night before gap day. But alot of online learning to catch up on the gap day, but at his chosen pace. Can feel the big contrast in pace between him and his siblings without gap day.

        college will face lawsuit if they use other colleges’ online video for their own curriculum. I really don’t think any reputable college who want to stay running will risk doing that.

        I suppose there are pro and con in both in personal and recorded lectures, and subjected to individual preference. my children prefer recorded lectures.

          Yes, the live streaming usually has one or two screens/ camera only. In an interactive type of setting where speakers interact with audience and on screen, it is not possible to capture these interactions even with many cameras and a whole production team.

            Hi, I am looking for A levels H2 Biology face to face tuition for DD. Would anyone be able to provide recommendations, contact ? Any guidelines for typical charges will be appreciated too.

            I am also trying to find a pair of track shoes for her. The grooves should not be shallow ones. Does anyone know of a "warehouse sale" so that time can be saved instead of visiting shops one by one ? If you have made track shoe purchases online and bought from a different brand, how straightforward is the experience to gauge the right shoe size ? (we had an experience when we ordered the wrong size and getting a refund was a nightmare).
            Thanks in advance.

              For me personally, I enjoyed physical lectures and paying attention during lectures. There are things hints or information which cannot be tied down in recording. Certain opinions or views or personal techniques or methods would not be shared thru recordings. Lecturers who are skilful and engaging will stand out. They may crack jokes to get your attention etc. Such techniques are useful life skills to pick up too.
              my experience of uni recorded lectures - too often with grainy vids and incredibly muddy audio. :?

              then i peeked the kid's RI recorded lecture.

              it was a year-end revision class for all students taking the subject. think the recording is from a purposed facility (studio?). sharp views of teacher, ppt/whiteboard, and students (panned). very clear audio from BOTH teacher and students. students allowed to ask questions/interrupt(?) and teacher addressed students by their names.

              could feel the enthusiasm of students and teachers through the unscripted recording. recording was made for students who had clashing schedule. kid who missed the 'live' class, got a lot from it, and wished he attended it in person.

              just my $0.02 :salute:

                Were referring to regular physical lessons turned online/recorded.

                  If I may


                  Attending Taylor Swift’s concert can be inspiring but we still have to rely on recorded music for our day to day entertainments. Attending in person lectures can be inspiring but to do well in exams, students have to learn the content well and recorded lectures allow ease of repeatedly going through contents. Probably listening to recorded music for our daily entertainments plus attending concerts every few years is most economical for young screaming fans like us

                    My two cents.


                    Experience and value are separate matters, that’s why parents werent happy when they had to pay same fees for normal physical tuition lessons turned online.

                      Hi not sure where to ask so posting here I guess.

                      Anyone knows if a child has ESIS and subsequently obtains another MOE scholarship (eg Pre-U scholarship), is the Sch fees subsidy capped at $2,400 in total regardless of the number of MOE scholarships?
