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.
小男孩的成績依然在不斷的努力下持續進步中。在旁人看來,這仿佛是這孩子想要把之前蹉跎的歲月給補回來一樣。後天就是月考前的最後一次測驗了,於是每次做完功課後他就抓起了作業本復習了起來。瞧著那認真的勁兒,母親看了只得暗暗叫苦。說阻止溫習也不是,可是不阻止嘛卻又得遭天譴。再說了,這功課好不容易是跟上了,要放棄真的比登天還難。
我忘了是凌晨还是昨天耶,当韩士提到某国的春节联欢晚会和本地直播节目的对比的时候,我才想起我是有想要写一写的。新年真的是一个超级无敌无聊的节日,当然主要是因为我是没有家乡可以回的小孩,过年对我这年纪的人唯一能做的就是看电视(虽然当晚是有带mac下去)。可是电视上说真的能看的东西不多,唯一看得出来比较花心思的就是刚才说的某国的春节联欢晚会。
首先,我必须透过这个blog提醒自己要记得早上有去听交响乐,要记得assignment report要写。好了,回到标题,为什么说是让女人感慨的老歌blogger之夜?首先先说女人的部分。今天不知道是吹什么风,雷公电母大概很久没有在本死仔包的blog出镜感到很不爽(感觉要为他们俩公婆弄一套emoticon,有什么事可以用得着),所以下至21,上至七字辈的女blogger都在感叹着自己很老了。天啊,如果他们老的话,那么我妈就是古董了我就快可以卖好价钱了,古董嘛,不然你以为什么,念耶zomok酱邪?首先第一炮是幽子姐,在讲述幽子姐的故事之前要先感谢幽子姐没有喝醉载我和ahnew过去现场。
这个时代真的是越变越不象话了,我希望看了标题杜牧先生不要从棺木跳出来(如果还未腐化)。不然的话,跳出来后,我还要帮他设想要做什么动作。或者这个应该不错,跳到我的面前唱:“我从山中来,带着棺材来,走在马路上,僵尸跳出来 ,一日跳三回,跳到我失魄,一日跳三回,花都开不了”。好啦,真得很烂的故事,其实也不为了要废而废,其实是因为我怕等下的文章太沉重,所以很多人会直接看到这一段后就走人咯。好啦,回到正体,其实要说的,就是清明节不知道为什么在近代不说别的地方,就说我住的这一个国土——马来西亚,变成了一个和风水学挂钩的节日。
因為是走促咪路線,所以這系列文章不是以老套的春牛圖開始介紹通勝(是說沒哏的時候可能也會寫一寫就是,有人要看嗎?),而是一些很有趣的篇章開始。今天寫的這篇,就是與生兒育女極之有關係的。不過,本着老少咸宜的路線,所以這篇文章應該是不會涉及太多很情色的文字。如果想看到比較露骨的內容,這篇應該是沒有吧,所以請放下你萬惡的滑鼠繼續看下去吧(是說沒有滑鼠要怎麼點閱?)。
