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.
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.
Just spent half a day finishing the interface for my group’s system – library system. And since we couldnt come out with a name that is interesting, so we just simply name the system as “Up2U Library System”, sounds dumb ho…?
Showing above is the main screen interface for our system. The system is separated into 3 parts with 2 modules each. I am in charge of the administration part of the system. Following is one of the screens for my module.
Look dumb huh… Basically, since MDI is not yet taught by the lecturer and I am really to busy to learn that in advance, so I link all the interfaces with “Unload” and “Load” commands. Therefore there is nothing really special about our system. Probably after learning MDI in the coming weeks then I will convert the whole system to MDI, hehehe.
長這麼大都沒收過多少封信件,比較記得的大概就是以前還在學院唸書收到的成績單,還有就是賭場在我満二十一歲時寄了一張禮券要我去學傾家蕩產這等學問。不過還好當年小弟算是半個統計學系的學生,知道其實賭錢跟把錢丟進鹹水海內沒什麼差別。若真的硬要說差別,可能就丟進海里還有DOM一聲,所以這科只能註定不及格這樣。說了這麼多還沒踏入正題,真的很不好意思,其實前面這段只是要鋪陳收到這封信時個人是多麼的嬌羞這樣。
这几天如果有看报纸的话,除了巫族同胞外应该会有点觉得可笑。但是这种可笑却是那种带有心寒的笑,或者是苦笑,但不是苦尽甘来的笑。是什么新闻呢?我可以很确定告诉你,不是炸尸案。你不可能没有注意到这个新闻的,因为篇幅实在太大,或者可以说是举国注目的焦点。我不要告诉你是那一则,你要知道可以找朋友问问这几天报纸上有什么新闻。当然这样严肃的东西我很少会去写,在这里只是提提罢了。
男生都很愛動作片,這是個可能很偏差但或許也不是那麼錯的刻板印象。不說別人,我是還真的相當喜歡動作片。比較可惜的是,近期這幾年的動作片都跳脫不了一些既定的模式。不過嘛,對片商來說賺到錢就好了,誰管市面上每一部都熟口熟臉。於是,這個片種漸漸開始發展出了一個既定的方程式。什麼時候應該來個爆炸,什麼時候應該來個槍戰,必要時應該犧牲什麼人,事實上這方程式端出來就是一部賣座片子的基型了。
所谓的好消息,大概也没什么悬念的,小喵被派到高孟手下成为他的学生。一直到后来我才很迟钝的从第三者口中得知原来她一直都在欣赏着高孟,也难怪,高挑的身型总是比较吃香的,我这小矮人还是别傻了的好。很快地,因为高孟被调派到外地区的关系,所以身为学生的小喵也自然得跟着去了。也就因为这样,跟小喵的联系也随着距离的拉长而渐渐淡化。
