Last Reflection

After a semester’s worth of blogging, it gets me thinking about what and how much I’ve learnt about e-learning. Initially, during the first few weeks, the classes seemed alright and eventually, as the assignments started to get me running, I started to take more initiative during classes. Towards the latter half of the semester, [...]

Assignment 3 – Final Reflection

Hahaha, where to start…?
Previous Readings
Ok, so referring back to the activities I completed in module 3, my learning style does play an important influence on the online courses I have chosen. How?

WebWise – Course Experience – Part 3 (03/11)

So after about a week, I’ve managed to complete this course…
The last 3 units (8 – 10) took about 30 minutes to complete, meaning I’ve finished this entire course in little over 2 hrs…. seems a little bit shy of the 4 hrs, so I’ll have to ask the teacher if she could approve another [...]

Let’s see, this time, I completed units 5 – 7 in an hour. These 3 units took particularly longer because 2 of them contained mini-flash games as one of the unit activities.
Unit 5 contained “East Enders Game”, which pretty much was a short flash-based role playing game, which allowed the player to venture across a [...]

WebWise – Course Experience – Part 1 (29/10)

Honestly, compared with my initial expectations, this course is quite something… and I mean that in a good way too!
