The Mid of November

It’s already the mid of November and we are half way through the course. Still surviving but I need to do a lot of catching up though… =/

Seems like Web-based Learning in a trendy term where most people will think that Web-based learning will definitely improve or enhance learning experiences. How true is this is yet to be proven. All I know is, in order for a tool to be effective, it requires a lot of sweat and labour behind the scene. Jessica did a detailed and clear presentation with some real-life examples on the tools that she used in her lesson. In her presentation she mention about the implementation of ADDIE Model in developing a web-based learning environment. As research is an iterative cycle, with the help of a guiding model, a researcher will be able to work in a more focus direction and also identify the parts to be repeated (in case of any ‘mishap’).

Setting up a web-based learning tool involves a lot of planning and effort. Sustaining it is another huge issue. I’d always wanted a virtual platform to support my teaching and learning and I did managed to come out with a few but all ended the same fate – abandoned. I really need a strong determination and put in more effort in the planning stage so that I can continue on with the project even after fulfilling the requirement of a certain course.
