Reflection Week 5

This week, we learnt about 2D graphic editing and were given a task to create a brochure and a booklet using Microsoft Publisher. Since it wasn't a first time I used Microsoft Publisher, so it was not pretty hard for me. For me, this was the fun task that I had done in this subject. Others? Quite boring because it was only black and white but this one was different, full of colours. But still, my same partner and I made a black and white booklet. That's all from me. There isn't much to write in this blog.

Reflection Week 4

This fourth week, we were taught about conducting simple surveys using Google Doc and printed questionnaires.  At first, we were required to create an account in SurveyMonkey because we learnt more about conducting surveys through it. After that, we were asked to create a real questionnaire consisted of three type of questions; multiple choices, checkboxes and scales. Each type consisted of 10 questions, made the questionnaire to have 30 questions ( 10 multiple choice questions, 10 checkboxes and 10 scales) to be sent to our own coursemates. After that, we made a report based on the findings from the servay. My partner (Leon Lennie Lening) and I conducted a survey, analysed the data using SPSS ( Statistical Package for Social Science), a software that blow up the minds of me and my partner because it was damn confusing and wrote a report on operating system. Quite hard, but we managed to get through the hardship.

Reflection Week 3

This week, same pair again, we were asked to create a report on Course Management System/Learning Management System (CMS/LMS). The report should include Why, Where, What, When and How. In the report, we also had to include the advantages of CMS/LMS. At first, it was quite hard to understand what is CMS/LMS actually. Does it same with e-learning? Is it a software? We did more further reading about this and finally, CMS/LMS became less difficult. We managed to get the report done. That was the first thing. Second, we had to upload it using Google Docs and shared it to others. We hope all of the people we shared understand the report and get something from it. What did I learn from this? CMS/LMS is like a tool for a better management in education and it covers wide range of usage in education. For example, to supervise the performance of students, distribution of same and up-to-date notes from anywhere and can be conducted any time in location points with web access.

Reflection Week 2

This week, my partner (Leon Lennie Lening) and I were required to do a task. This task known as Think, Pair and Share. In this activity, we had chose an interesting topic related to computers that was Operating System and we had to relate it with Open Source Software. Since it was the first time we studied about computer and its components; hardware and software critically, it was quite tough at first to understand the information we got about Operating System but with the aid from the lecturer and course mates, it became less confusing. Then, we were required to create a Google document based on the topic chosen and share it in Facebook Group. What I learnt from this task were the new knowledge on how an Open Source Software (OSS) is affected by the operating system. Since the OSS can be modified and redistribute, many of OSS are developed for certain operating systems. For example, NeoOffice is developed from OpenOffice for Mac OS X and the modified office suite is more stable in Mac OS X compare to other office suites.
