Recently our English for Science unit’s lecturer posted an issue about e-learning at the college’s “e-learning” system (which is actually a blackBoard Learning System that is also used by many other colleges) and we are required to write a response to that issue. She also provided a link to a page that clearly explains about “e-learning”. Until now, I have really no idea on this issue since I am still reading that webpage while I am posting this.
If only looking at my college’s so called “e-learning” system, I really don’t like it much because it is not as useful as I expected. Blackboard Learning System is no doubt a good system handling “e-learning” things but it is not being well used at my college. I myself prefer looking for information at another websites rather than the e-learning system because there are almost nothing provided by our lecturer through the system except for some lecture notes / tutorial questions / assignment questions etc. I have a friend studying at another college and I heard from him that he can get a lot more things through their college BlackBoard System besides notes / assignments etc. And the participation of his lecturer is much better compared to my college. I found that sometimes it is very rare to see any lecturer to join in our discussion in the discussion board and probably this is why Blackboard System is not popular in my college.
But these are only some problems that only occur in my college, and this doesn’t mean that they will happen in other colleges as well. Therefore these cannot be the only points in my response to the issue, *sigh*. Now I would need to start thinking what to write and post them this Friday since I do not have much spare time because the units I took in this semester are quite tough (at least 4 credit hours) and I am definitely don’t wish the same thing happened as the “Introductory to Discrete Mathematics” unit last semester.
其实现在才来写这个好像有点太迟,不过这也符合我一贯的习惯——等电影快要下才排队入场。老实说这一部算是暑假档开始后第一部个人感觉良好的强档电影(是的,我没有很喜欢Wolverine和Angels and Demons)。事先声明,本人不是trekkie,所以基本上这个系列的universe(和飞船上的阶级)我不太了解(而且相关的wikipedia entries太多了不知道从那里开始)。不过总的来说能让我这个non-trekkie看的不感觉一头雾水我想这部电影已经算是成功了。先说说约略的观后感,基本上和上次看完整部wolverine整个人很想打人的感觉相比,这次是带着一个有一点感动的感觉踏出电影院。
I got so impressed after looking at my friend’s assignment interface. It was simply just tooooooo nice. Therefore, me and my group members agreed to decorate our assignment a bit. Besides that, since we started using MDI, then the whole structure has to be revised.
We have added a navigation menu, so that the bar up there doesn’t look too plain (what an excuse). Then we added in some shortcut button suggested by one of my group members. We have also removed our so-called “logo”, since it was not so nice. And lastly, almost all buttons are now with icons so that user can see them clearly (hehehe).
Our system is usable at the moment as long as u do not key in the wrong thing (like you enter letters when you are asked to enter numeric) because we do not have time to do complete validation. We expect all the validation will be done at the time we submit our assignment though. Below are some of the screenshots taken from my assignment project.

没有toptop的日子,没有toptop的日子……其实过得还算不错啦,不过很大的原因是我的assignments才刚刚开始接踵而来。预料过几个星期我就开始suffer了,所以必须尽快凑足钱买一粒usb wifi装置插到我的电脑然后整部大块衰搬上去我的房间。由于大块衰的耗电量比我的toptop多上9倍左右,看来我以后再也不能没日没夜上网了,呵呵呵呵呵呵(虽然大部分是没坐在电脑前)。令我感到很意外的是,在后toptop时代,我的blogging频率仍然是保持两三天至少有一个post。真的不知道是喜还是悲……
过去的两年来看医生的记录大概是破了此生的记录,尽管小时候的自己是个药煲。前一年是因为脚伤,后来是因为一直感冒,在过去的大概八个多月就已经四次,现在是怎样?在吃了一个星期的西药(其实就是三月多病了过后那次医生另外开了一些备用的药),混混沌沌了一个星期后,才决定这次去看看中医。虽然小时候已经习惯了,但是成年后去看中医倒是第一次,所以整个过程笨到爆。
