This would be the second e-learning subject I’ve come across during my studies and again, I’ve gained more exposure to using various technologies, which may either have enhanced my learning or added to my ponderous nature in wondering what this would mean to my future learning? Right now, it feels like technology and the ways [...]

Did a short class test today on identifying good multimedia principles used across a couple of different e-learning courses. The two I chose weren’t particularly fancy, but both of them were created with certain design principles to suit their targeted audience. It allowed for comparison and allowed the examiner (me) to critique the effectiveness of [...]

The teacher went through a flash-based game, which was to teach learners how to develop negotiation skills. The course itself was very appealing as a learning tool because it contains a narrative (story) and allows users [...]

1. Group on Mobile Learning
2. Suemin’s Presentation
Both presentations were pretty interesting in their own ways today. Suemin’s presentation was similarly based on alot of the recent “I’m a PC, I’m a Mac” pros/cons commercials and as good as the idea was, it made the presentation feel a bit disjointed as the information jumped from [...]

1. Received some help from Brett in locating our closest neighbourhood centres.
2 . Anne went over what our group wiki should have:
proper referencing
no product reviewing
How would DoCS be able to use this technology for training purposes?
How would this technology be used in a general educational context?
the wiki is more of a preamble to our presentation
3. [...]

Mucking around in Second Life is quite fun. Went to class today and the teacher gave a presentation purely in the Second Life environment. I had the chance of using one of the Macs to join in and follow the group of e-learning teachers that were available in the afternoon to give the classroom and [...]

We did recap more on last week’s presentation by DoCS. More helpful advice and guides to finding our local community centre by Brett. My group wiki topic [...]
