E-learning part 2
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.

e-learning?
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.

意念致殲 第十三章 （上）
『你終於醒來了。』
醫院裡外無時無刻都人來人往，在這個傍晚自然沒有例外。
一睜開眼，就看到眼前有個女人在床頭站著。只見她的臉色甚是蒼白，眼神裡除了憐憫還帶有一絲悲苦。小月呆呆地注視著，仿佛失去了所有反應的本能一樣。前一刻明明還在家附近的街道，眼前的房子應該是已經化成了灰燼不是麼？怎麼突然間，一睜眼就到了這個眼前一片慘白的地方？眼前這個人到底為何人？我認識麼？這到底是怎麼回事？為什麼要哭得這麼淒慘？

集魂記
連鎖咖啡店。
這裡販賣的，從來不是氣質，只有一個限時的方便。捧著書的讀者已是稀有之極的奇觀，更多的是比如剛出去就地吐痰的阿炳。當你以為那邊一群女孩抱著一本厚厚的小說，已算是難得的文藝少女時，殊不知轉個頭就原形畢露了。下一刻這群人就一邊從背包裡找出了輕巧的小相機，一邊四處在這採光充足的咖啡店裡找尋著最合心意的光線與景物拍照。

新年新版本新方向
如果你还不知道的话，Wordpress已经更新到2.1.0了，之前我是已经skip了2.0.6和2.0.7，不过还好谢天谢地并没有人来搞我的blog。这次比较值得一提的更新，大概是pseudo-cron以及自动save的功能吧。至于spelling check嘛，我倒是没有太大的意见，因为by default firefox 2已经自己备有这个功能了。至于其他的，还有一点我还搞不懂的就是所有的categories已经全部整合在一起了，也就是说总之是categories，无论是links的还是posts的，统统炒成一碟，啊，多么的不卫生。
