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.
因为工作的关系,个人的整个网络生活习惯来个接近180度的大转变。虽然仍然是大部分的时间都耗在网上,但是分给自己私人上网处理一些事情比如说电邮Feed什么的变少了很多。说到电邮,事实上我是个不太喜欢看forwarded mails的人,相信很多人也是这样。不晓得从什么时候开始,大概是开始学会上网不久后就发觉我的邮箱怎么陡然间多了很多这种不知所谓的mails。刚开始自然是很开心因为有人记得你的邮箱的存在,而当时很naive的我也曾经有一阵子热衷于狂forward这种邮件。
“小硕,你还好吧?如果你听到留言,请马上打电话给我!”
赵硕厌恶的按掉了艾佳日复一日的留言,今天已经是他躲在酒店的第三天了。在这几天,因为赵硕不在主持大局的关系,关于公司会突然倒闭的猜测也陡然间开始此起彼落,员工们也开始一天比一天少,直到还有两天才到元旦的今天,还在上班的人已经从高峰期的五六十人,已经直线滑落到不到十个人。着急的艾佳在这几天,不仅是电话打个不停,甚至还登门造访,要不是赵硕在心血来潮的时候会报个平安,她几乎快要去报警求助了。
昨天被某网志作者用文章猛插了一顿,可是却因为我已经说我不再回应,所以后来发现被猛插的时候已经没有了争辩的余地了。这也不是什么伸冤文,只是个人在自己的地方针对几个自己因为太迟发现没办法即时回复的几个问题做些解答。该文章的标题下得甚有深度,通常会谈到前景这回事的时候,大家会找的自然是相关领域的专家,期望他会从中提供一些有根据的预测之类。
