4. How do you feel? What do you think you can apply in your own professional development?

I feel that it is very important for people today to know how to use the technology to learn (E-learning), because it saves time and money. I think I can review what the teachers have taught in my IDD classes by using SCORM. In that case, I can review what I missed or didn’t understand in the class easily. For example, in my IDD315 class, the professor put every course material on the blackboard, so we can mostly learn the skills by ourselves if we want.
