Hi peeps! How time flies – I am already in the final week! Which means final examination is just around the corner… But, never mind. I am still excited as I am going back to my hometown soon! 🙆 Peeps! You know what? We had completed and published our e-learning courseware! Click here to see the outcome, peeps! Other than that, we did our online quiz which I need to recall back what I had learned from the first week until now and I guess I did it well (I hope so)  To recap, I feel grateful that I have been given this chance to learn Internet Technologies for Language (ESP402). A lot of new things and experience I got throughout learning this subject. Previously, I do not know how to deal with software like Smart Builder, but after struggling to finish up our group e-learning courseware, I believed that handling technology is not difficult if you have the desire to explore more on it. Plus, I am now able to design my own template by using Canva! It feels satisfying w...

Hi there! As for this week, my groupmates and I started to create E-Learning courseware that teaches comparative adjective. The process somehow feels quite smooth since it is easier to understand on how to use the courseware (Smart Builder). We decided to go with the theme of neighborhood because we wanted to create an interesting and fun learning program in line with our title ' Comparative Adjective for Beginners '. Wait! Did I say the process feels quite smooth earlier? OMG! I guess I am daydreaming because when Madam Azida started to teach us on creating hotspot , inserting audio ,   and   adding templates , I started to lose focus. Too many buttons to click on. "Where am I? What should I do?" that thought kept on running in my mind. Due to that, I decided to have a one-on-one lesson with Madam Azida. With enough guidance, now I am able to sort things out. Right after that, I shared what I had learned with my friends and later we sat down together to ...

Hi peeps! I guess I look like a zombie now. I got a lot of assignments to be submitted :’) but never mind, I won’t forget to update my blog! This week, I learned another new thing which is E-learning ! E-learning is actually lessons that are conducted by using electronic media, typically on the internet. Apart from that, Madam Azida had introduced courseware that can be used to create e-learning course and it is called as Smart Builder . What is it? Okay, so Smart Builder is an e-learning authoring tool that is used to create an e-learning with scenarios, gamification, assessments, branching, and more. Sounds interesting, right? But I am struggling here with all the buttons that I need to click in order to produce my own e-learning courseware. However, I feel blessed that my lecturer is here to guide me from A to Z in using this software. If you are interested to use this software, click this link https://www.smartbuilder.com/  and install the software on ...

Hi peeps! How are you doing? I am here struggling with everything as my semester almost comes to an end. As for this week, my group had to present one of the instructional design models which is Rapid Prototyping . Below is a brief information about the model. Oh yes! Before I forgot, here is our group's poster on this model. Definition An iterative process used to visualize what a website or an application will look like in order to get feedback and validation from users, stakeholders, developers, and designers. History & Developer ·         The Fathers of Modern Prototyping: Hideo Kodama from Japan & Charles Hull from the USA ·         The first to describe and develop a process and actual machines that were capable of printing in 3 dimensions (3D) ·         originate from two main preceding techniques, topography, and photo sculpture ·       ...

Hello there! 🙋As for this week, I want to share about a new topic that I just learned which is Instructional Design . Instructional design is a systematic process of creating instructional materials, modules, or lessons. It is the combination of education, psychology, and communication in order to create effective teaching plans for students. The process of instructional design carefully considers the students’ needs so that they will be able to achieve their academic goals. From my point of view, instructional design is cost effective as it creates high-quality learning materials by considering the strengths and weaknesses of the students as it sets the stage for a successful learning experience. Above all, the main benefit that I could see from instructional design is that it encourages the participation of learners. Nowadays, living in the world with the advancement of technology, students are more interested with the use of technology. Thus, teacher-centred learning someh...
