REFLECTION (WEEK 3a) Literature Review Online Material

 

On this week, we are required to do a literature review based on four journals, in which two of them are from UKM and the other two are from other sources. Once again I am pairing with Ilanggo to complete this report.

   For this task, we need to use Open Office Writer to write our report. This application is quite new for every one of us and we are struggling hard to get use to it as we had never used it before. The only application that we are really familiar with is Microsoft Office as this is the only application that we have used for several years in doing our assignments or task. But upon exploring this application, we finally get our pace started and slowly learning to use this application. In the end all of us are getting familiar with this application, thanks to our lecturer that had taught us very well.

   Moving on with our task, our report is once again about mobile learning, but this time we have to relate our reports with the Malaysian Education System. This time, both of us is very excited to write about this report because we are very familiar with this subject. Our report stresses more on the scenario of the educational system that we are having nowadays and how mobile learning had changes the picture of education for the new generations to come.

   All in all, this week we have learnt quite a lot in enhancing our ICT skills. For example, we have learnt to use Open Office in doing our task and we also learned to search for valuable information such as journals and articles via online. I am hoping that the next lesson would be as interesting as this week in which we would learn to use more software and applications in enhancing our ICT knowledge.

REFLECTION (WEEK 2b) :Course / Learning Management System

On this week, our task was to find information about Course / Learning Management System and adding to that, we need to write a report regarding the topic. The report should include the following subjects such as definition, advantages and some examples of software for course or learning management system. Thus, we also need to share our report with our classmates, lecturer, and our course-coordinator using google documents and in our yahoo groups.

   For this task, I am pairing with Ilanggo to accomplish the task given. Both of us were not really familiar with the term Course / Learning Management System as this is the first time that we ever heard of it. In order to make our works easier, we divide our task fairly so that each of us had our own resources and at the end, we just need to combine our reports. It is quite hard to find some reliable resources regarding this topic, but after pretty much hardwork, we manage to find some important points for our task. Teamwork is really needed in completing this kind of task.

   Course/ Learning Management System is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking and reporting of training programs, classroom and online events, e-learning programs, and training content. This application can be used by the employers to immediately evaluate on their employees’ capabilities, tracking and reporting to enhance their performance, allows the user to change or adjust the description of a product, and providing regulatory and legal compliance inside an organization. All in all, Course/ Learning Management System had provided an easier method for us in keeping the standard up so that the quality of every task, assignment or product is on the right level.

   Upon completing this task, I have realized that Course/ Learning Management System is important in keeping up the quality of education throughout the world. Our world is rapidly changing and we need to be flexible in dealing with the educational aspect. Hopefully in years to come, our country’s education will be up to the world standard.
