Experiencing ADS
This activity allows the students to experience using any Alternative Delivery System.
This activity will be done by group (5 members in each group). The students will simulate learning with
the use of any alternative delivery system. Based on their extended readings on ADS, students will show
the advantages, disadvantages, and effectiveness of using ADS.
Write below the synopsis of the simulation you plan to present in class.
Types of Alternative Delivery System
1. Audio teleconference
A teleconference or teleseminar is the live exchange and mass articulation of Information among several
persons and machines remote from one another but linked by a telecommunications system. Terms such
as audio conferencing, telephone conferencing and phone conferencing are also sometime used to refer to
teleconferencing.
The telecommunications system may support the teleconference by providing one or more of the
following: audio, video, and/or data services by one or more means, such as telephone,
computer,telegraph, teletypewriter, radio and television.
2. Distance education/learning
Distance Learning Advantages:
• Lots of Flexibility. With distance learning courses, students can complete their course work from
just about anywhere, provide there’s a computer and internet connection. This allows students to work
when and where it is more convenient for them without having to squeeze in schedule classes to an
already busy life.
• No commuting. Taking a course online can be one way to cut down on costly gas public
transportation. Since students can often work from home to complete their class assignments, both time
and money are saved in cutting out the trips to and from class.
• Numerous choice of schools. Even if you live in a community with few or no colleges distance
learning allows you to choose from a wide variety of schools to complete your education. You may find
A P P L Y

3. online schools that specialize in your particular field or one that can provide a great general education.
Either way, your options for education will be greatly expanded.
• Lowered costs. Prices for online courses are generally cheaper than their on-campus counterparts
and you won’t have to worry about commuting, moving or getting meal plans on campus, some additional
benefits to learning from home.
• Learn while working. As distance learning can usually be completed on your own schedule, it is
much easier to complete distance learning courses while working than more traditional educational
programs. Keeping your job gives you more income, experience and stability while completing your
degree giving you less to worry about and more time to focus on your studies.
Distance Learning Disadvantages:
• Lack of social interaction. If the classroom environment is what you love most about learning you
may want to take a step back and reconsider distance learning. You’ll likely get some interaction on chat
rooms, discussion boards and through email, but the experience will be quite different than traditional
courses.
• Format isn’t ideal for all learners. Not everyone is an ideal candidate for online learning. If you
know you have problems with motivation, procrastination and needs lots of individual attention from an
instructor you may want to think long and hard before enrolling in an online learning program.
• Some employers don’t accept online degrees. While a majority of employers will, there are some
who still see a stigma attached to distance learning. Realize that your online degree may not be the ideal
tool for some job fields or for future learning.
• Requires adaptability to new technologies. If you’ve never been one to love working with
technology you will probably get a lot less out of an online course than your more tech-savvy
counterparts. Make sure you feel comfortable working with computers and with online programs before
you sign up for a class.
• Not all courses required to complete the degree may be offered online. It makes sense that more
practical majors like nursing aren’t offered entirely inline, after all, part of the degree is learning to work
directly with patients. Find out all the requirements of your degree to see what may be completed offline.
3. Broadcast radio
Advantages and Disadvantages of Radio News

4. The radio these days is more accessible than gas for your car or food for you belly. With thousands of
radio and satellite radio stations broadcasting around the clock all one has to do is turn on the car and
push the button. The radio ranges form heavy metal to how to sell your metal spoons.
While some enjoy listening to music on the way to and from work, others listen to talk radio or the radio
news. It’s important to designate the two because both are very different. Talk radio is opinions and radio
news is information coming through the interpretation of the radio personality. Sounds the same huh?
Today talk radio and radio news is the same thing with a different name. So what are the advantages and
disadvantages to talk/news radio.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Talk/News Radio
Advantages:
1. Most interactive- the radio allows listeners to call on and talk to a radio personality immediately
about a subject they are discussing. This makes the situation more interactive where a variety of listeners
can interject their opinion and create a dialogue between the listening community.
2. Up to date and Accessible- radio is free and can be heard from a portable transmitter like a
walkman, or in the car. This allows the listener to receive up to date information as events are unfolding
from virtually anywhere.
Disadvantages:
1. Bias- Often the news is heard through the voice of someone who is interjecting their opinion into
whatever the news may be about. This can subject the information to bias and promote possibly one, and
not all sides of the story.
2. Fleeting- With other programming conflicts and obligations, often news on the radio is fleeting,
which means information is subject to change with each news update.
With the access of information today it’s important to remember where you are getting ou news from.

5. 4. Audiographic teleconferencing
- (Or “electronic whiteboarding”, “screen sharing”) A form of teleconferencing in real timeusing both an
audio and a data connection. The computer screen is shared by more than one site, and used as an
electronic blackboard, overhead projector or still cideo projector. Some systems allow for sharing
software also.
5. Online technologies
The Advantages & Disadvantages of The Internet:
The Internet of the World Wide Web is indeed a wonderful and amazing addition in our lives. The
Internet can be known as a kind of global meeting place where people from all parts of the world can
come together. It is a service available on the computer, through which everything under the sun is now at
the fingertips of anyone who has access to the Internet.
To get ‘online’, meaning to connect to the Internet, you need to have:
• A computer: Computer equipment is a sizeable investment and thus you should select a computer
carefully. Before buying a computer, understand your needs and then choose one accordingly. See that it
comes with a warranty and that after sales service is available in case you need it.
• Internet Service Provider: This is the software that you will require to get online. You can now
choose from a dial-up service or 24-hour broadband services. This is the service that will help you to
connect to the Internet and start your surfing experiences.
Advantages of the Internet
The Internet provides opportunities galore, and can be used for a variety of things. Some of the things that
you can do via the Internet are:
• E-mail: E-mail is an online correspondence system. With e-mail you can send and receive instant
electronic messages, which works like writing letters. Your messages are delivered instantly to people
anywhere in the world, unlike traditional mail that takes a lot of time.

6. • Access Information: The Internet is a virtual treasure trove of information. Any kind of
information on any topic under the sun is available on the Internet. The ‘search engines’ on the Internet
can help you to find data on any subject that you need.
• Shopping: Along with getting information on the Internet, you can also shop online. There are
many online stores and sites that can be used to look for products as well as buy them using credit card.
You do not need to leave your house and can do all your shopping from the convenience of your home.
• Online Chat: There are many ‘chat rooms’ on the web that can be accessed to meet new people,
make new friends, as well as to stay in touch with old friends.
• Downloading Software: This is one of the most happening and fun things to do via the Internet.
You can download innumerable, games, music of which is free.
Disadvantage of the Internet
There are certain cons and dangers relating to the use of Internet that can be summarized as:
• Personal Information: If you use the Internet, your personal information such as your name,
address,etc. Can be accessed by other people. If you use a credit card to ship online, then your credit card
information can also be ‘stolen’ which could be akin to giving someone a blank check.
• Pornography: This is very serious issue concerning the Internet, especially when it comes to
young children. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found and can
be a detriment to letting children use the Internet.
• Spamming: This refers to sending unsolicited e-mails in bulk, which serve no purpose and
unnecessarily clog up the entire system.
