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.
应该归咎于我最近对这类问题很敏感的关系,不过我的标准答案永远都是OK’ish,其实如果诚实些,答案应该叫糟透了。糟透了的原因主要是因为自己的研究仍然在鬼打墙中,而不是因为自己最近搬到了新住处什么的,如果排除掉研究工作外,其实一切真的大致上过得不错。
这一段文字基本上是为了证明在中时部落格大赛的参赛表格是我亲手呈上去的,也是part of整个的游戏规则。是的,我又很不小心入围了初选这一个阶段(其实这初选跟咱们的部落格祭的初选也是差不多的),从大概902人中,我就是比较幸运的那200+人中的其中一位。跟我同类别而也是认识的还有 @hudxuan,呵,那就祝咱们好运啦。至于感言嘛,其实上次不小心得奖(是说,大马部落应允的评审评语大概不会跳票吧?)后已经大锣大鼓写了一大篇了,况且现在也只不过是初选入围,也没什么好再写的,呵。
不知不覺,每週三文的挑戰就這樣到了第四十周的最後一篇了。真受不了如此公式化的開場,奈何本人真的無法寫出什麼驚世駭俗之說。寫這篇文章的時候,其實理應會很雀躍。可是另一方面,由於寫跳坑文已經成為不知不覺一種習慣所以覺得倒也沒什麼。不知道其他跳坑同仁們,在此刻會有什麼樣子的心情呢?
最近因為工作各種等待回復,加上又各種關在家,所以知悉異樣Diversity有活動就手刀跑去報名了。這三個工作坊會在除了農曆新年的那星期外每周六進行,在一月三十日那天則是第一次。該期工作坊的主題是LGBT群體的前世今生歷史與現況。
