Entry 2 - Need Analysist

Dr. Tee's role play was very interesting when he just post simple question on how to go the Sultan's palace from rumah Universiti Malaya. With lots of response from the class well , i could see how tidious it is to get all the imformation if it is to put down in a module, if we are teaching in distance learning because there in no face-to-face interaction. the theory that was put in practice is interesting too . Now i could figureout why some programme takes much time to be implemented. the content presented and the learners understanding is very important. therefore the design and evaluation section should be considered carefully before creating the module and lastly how easy to access this programme. i wonder how many percent is it considered before agreeing to a module. Besides that it was good to know this much earlier as i had a view on how our assignment suppose to be. Content experts and instruction designers should work hand-in-hand to findout all possibilities that could help the learners to gain knowledge.

Entry 1 - Distance Learning

This was the first class i attended. It was on the History of Distance Learning. I was engrossed with the lesson. Because it was something new - distance learning. all this while i thought distance learning is much easier with less homework, less syllabus and much cheaper. eventully i realise that to have distance learning classes, is much challenging compared to full-time classes. there are modules that is segregated into spurts of units with good rubrics, material, usage of multimedia so that students will be able to understand. but what surprise me is even with distance learning offerred not many could pursue their studies. is it because the cost of the multimedia or they could not understand the module or it is less interesting (maybe the content is different with their job experience). I guess in Malaysia we are still way behind in advancement of technology. many of us still complain on the cost in providing the multimedia service. due to that it hampers lots of students chances to access to information globally. besides that lots of material is not published in online journal for these intersubjectivity students could gain knowledge. therefore constraint of time maybe the probability that many distance learners may not want to join this class. Hope more can be done on this matter.

Introduction

Hello Dr Tee,

First and foremost, sorry for the delay of posting my blog website. I just got my new phone line and internet line fixed in my house. Anyway, last week was my first day in you class. Honestly, I really enjoyed your lesson. It is fun and interesting. I am happy that I signed up for this course as my friends told me that this is an interesting class to join. On top of that it is a bonanza for me to have a lecturer like you too!. I am fasinated with the information on Distance Learning . I hope that I could make this class as a class to remember in this final semester. Anyway I am not an IT expert but I hope to learn more as the lesson and the way you present makes it interesting.

Thank You ,
