... oPInIOn oN tHIs StUdY” ...

In my opinion Malaysia never had such experience before, there fore I encourage having a virtual student in terms of enhancing online learning and it helps in contribution of online class learning.This study is very beneficial and helpful not only for part of the world but this can be applied to all over the world, and Malaysia as being a developed country, such study must be applied on students. We all know that Malay students tend to be quite and non talkative there fore having a virtual student in their class who they don’t know her/his identity, would help in students learning such as, when the virtual student makes mistakes or talk without being afraid the other student would follow her, and they tend to share more unlike with the teacher.

Students are more comfortable with their class mates rather than their teachers, they become shy and afraid of talking and expressing unlike with their class mates. Having a virtual student, the students learn more and better in terms of sharing and helping each other, without being afraid of someone who is much older than them and criticize them or evaluate them.And at the end we can find that this has a lot of benefits such as, promoted online dialogue, encourage student’s participation and having a virtual student can be applied in different teaching settings.

Like having advantages for this study there are disadvantages too, which are, it is hard for someone to pretend to be someone else, he/she if made a mistake that small mistake can lead to destroy the whole learning and teaching process. We find that the instructor as being (Jane) did all the assignments, experiencing the same server downtimes and so on. It is also time consuming and needs a lot of effort for achieving the right goal.
