前幾天出席小學同學兒子的滿月宴,跟其他同學交談間才發現裡有不少路跑好手。席間他們問起我用什麼記錄,然後想要推薦我用另一個。可是本人用着的記錄軟件,剛去看一看原來也有兩年半了。儘管本人頗為懶惰,這兩年半只是記錄了130小時多的路不過還是婉拒了。這短短的快830公里的路雖然說長不長,但是裡頭記錄的又何止那丁點的腳程和汗水。
上一次午餐聚会的时候阴公船夫(义俊)哥问起我的近况,还记得那个时候我给了他一个苦笑说我在办公室内几乎无时无刻都在忙(除了偶尔真的写到不知道怎么继续去看资料)。当时后的他说了一句话,听起来很让人哭笑不得——“忙是好事,要你游手好闲在office里面摇摇晃晃那才可怕”。深想一层,游手好闲,还要是在office还真的满恐怖的。
不吐不快,但是不知道吐什么出来,这个叫什么?简单两个字——无奈。为什么无奈?一来是为了分组的事情忙,二来是为了自己的blog post用意和意思被扭曲。不知道自己发这么多东西出来把事情摊开来讲会引发这么多事端,是我高估了大家的心胸吗?还是大家宁愿什么事情都当没发生过,一切扫入地毯下就好了,那么眼不见为净?然后结论就是,我只不过是一个八公去烦一些不该去烦的事情。如果是这样,我认命算了。但是我就是不甘心,我不甘心同学见还要顾忌这个顾忌那个,不甘心看到大家为了这么小的事情引发那么多风波。但是不甘心又能如何?我只是选择了把一切发生的经过记录下来,我并没有,也没有必要去邀请他们来看我的blog。
这篇文章献给部分我有订阅的blogger们。
如果blog的中文译名叫做部落格,那么我的这个post title就makes sense了。穿出格,就是穿出自己的部落格的缩写,穿出格,也可能是下一届聚会的主要theme。我还在想如果这个点子落实的话我要怎么穿。既然叫穿出格,我可不可以找一件格子衣服来穿?好啦,我也知道很lame,不过反正最近这个topic相当hot,虽然我是等到冷却才来写(没办法,慢半拍是我的风格,你吹咩我忙我的seminar忙到天昏地暗)。最备受瞩目的,当然是名字取得相当劲爆的。比如说夏娃妹妹,还有外星人姐姐,不懂为什么?看这个就知道了。
Few days ago, I posted up my response on the e-learning issue as requested by my lecturer. I was quite shocked after found out that not more than 5 people posted their response. Is this a sign showing that even though we are studying computer science, but we still do not appreciate and utilize the internet connection wisely? Or this shows that our e-learning system has some problem because it doesn’t help attracting students to login (in other word, it sucks)?
But then, I am quite impressed that there are people who rely on the internet resources in studying in my course. This is because in my college, we are rely on the lecturer for notes. If a lecturer does not provide notes for photocopying, then he/she will be in trouble when students evaluate him/her during the end of semester. Not many who are really interested finding out more on the subject somewhere else and this is probably why not many logged into the BlackBoard and post their response.
In my response, I pointed out that constant electrical supply is a main factor in order to make e-learning a success. It is quite insulting when we are already used to electricity black-outs even in this so-called “Advanced State”. Besides that, decent broadband coverage is also another important factor because not many residents in Malaysia are able to surf online with the help of broadband. Even one can surf using broadband, if he/she is using Streamyx’s service, then he/she will probably suffer from the constantly service down. Even though there are other ISPs providing broadband connection but they cant provide low cost connection. This is because wired connection that is generally cheaper is already monopolized by Telekom. In order to use other ISPs’ services, we will need to pay more for the hardware because they use wireless technology to deliver broadband connection.
If these problems are left unbothered, then I do not expect E-learning will become a trend in Malaysia.
