I have noticed that these modes of providing education are helpful. All modes are helping equally to provide education to be open learning or distributed learning. Pedagogy is equally helpful. But most importantly, motivation, attention, imitation, the direction of activity, willingness is all basic necessity for learning. Open learning helps in many ways because it provides knowledge that is accessible to everyone (Gilliard, 2019). The author said that youth could perform well as compared to older individuals. They easily find new techniques in different fields and I disagree with that. I think older individuals can perform equally well than young people (Gilliard, 2019). Older individuals have more experience and techniques because they have spent their lives in doing a particular work and have faced every bit of it. No one can master more than a man who spent his whole life doing a particular thing because in the end, experience matters (Gilliard, 2019).

I wonder there should be more easy ways to reach platforms for education because not everyone has these facilities. Some don’t have internet access, and some don’t have computers or laptops, some don’t afford the tuition fee (Coolidge, 2017). Why there isn’t a more easy approach that focuses on collaboration, connection, diversity, and assessments of educational tools. On top of that, poverty is a basic question. How will they focus on their homework when they know they have no place to sleep. No food to eat. How can someone buy books or a laptop when they have no money.

Motivation, willingness, desire to be someone who will be able to help others one day inspires me and keeps me going other than these examples of some good people who work for others, who work hard to make others happy inspires me a lot (Coolidge, 2017). I will try to create spaces for young and older people where they learn, Space for people to hang out, where they can be whatever they want to be. I will make a space where learners learn whatever they want to. Be it music, religion, science, technology, etc. I will make space to grow into new roles and responsibilities (Coolidge, 2017). A space to practice languages so that no one finds it difficult to understand each other. Space where poverty does not affect education at all. And I will make more ways for people to get knowledge from where they want to.

In terms of questions, I do have one is that why open and distributed learning don’t deliver similar results?
