week 14 reflection 20/1/09

Today i learnt about flash quiz.Miss Nah 1st go through the flash quiz and the different types of quizes in flash.then afterwards,i learn and explore the different functions of the flash quiz.1st was the true/false quiz.i think that was pretty ok and it was easy to understand.after that i try the hot objects.that too was ok.the hardest part of the quiz was the drag and drop quiz.even though it seems easy,it was difficult to make the picture to snap at the drop point.
however, after countless number of tries,i finally successed in doing it.i just make a few adjustments and it worked.
after that was the flash presentation.Miss Nah showed the class on how to do the flash presentation and it was rather easy to get it.i think i can have a rough idea on what my project will be.
after that i continue with the flash and quickly finish the quiz and saved it.
hopefully it will be useful for my project.

week 12 reflection. 6/1/09

Today was learning about adobe flash.
i guess its rather fine as i have learnt flash in secondary school. However due to long time of not using flash, I have forgotton on how to use the flash. So after some teaching, I have got the hang of flash and everything just seems to be ok.
I managed to do simple flash after some time of exploring flash and then I have also created a flash banner.
Also, I have made a photo mask of a zoo logo. This part is rather easy and I got it done real fast.
The only diffcult one is making the banner as lots of steps are invovled in it. It took me quite awhile before I got it and start creating the banner.
After that was doing dreamweaver and fireworks. I think both softwares are easy to use and fireworks is something like photoshop.
So i imported my flash files to dreamweaver and created a html web of my flash files.
Overall, I think today was rather ok and not much diffculty is faced in creating flash.

School starts

So this week have no lab as it is a e-learning week.
so i'm here to share the difference between a learning management system(LMS) and course management system(CMS).

The learning management system is like a software for delivering and tracking training.
Normally this is done by tracking online courses. Some companies use LMS to record keep registration of employees.Also, most LMSs are web-based to provide easy access.
some examples are blackboard, vBus.

The course management system is like a tool where teachers can post anything on a web without him knowing anything about computer language. This is like providing easy tools for creating online courses.

So the main difference is that LMS allows tracking of a student work online while a CMS juzt allow teachers to have easy access and post online courses but it cannot track.

week 6 reflection 25/11/08

Today I came into the lab and started working on my project. Ms Nah also taught the class on using audicity for recording the voice for the breezer. I tried to record my voice but my computer keep having problems. firstly, the speakers was not connected properly and so, i had to adjust back the speakers. next, the mike cannot seem to work and no matter what i do, it cannot be able to record my voice. so, i just gave up and spent my time working on my hot potatos.
i have also completed the quizes.I have made finish the crossword puzzle and a close passage based on HAP and they have 5 questions each.
Ms Nah also taught me on using the hyperlink to link the quizes to my powerpoint.
Now all that remains is recording my voice and inserting it into the brezzer before submitting it.
next week is the due date and i hope i can complete it on time.

2 e-learning websites I found on the net.

http://www.csulb.edu/~txie/online.htm

Pros:

1. Have many links to different Chinese websites to learn simple Chinese.

2. Have audio for listening to the Chinese language being pronounced.

3. Have flash to test the user knowledge on the Chinese language.

4. Have video clips and movies to show people speaking Chinese.

Cons:

1. Some flash and videos can’t seem to load.

2. Some websites are dead links.

Overall, I find this website a very good e-learning website.

http://www.typeonline.co.uk/index.html

Pros:

1. There are flash lessons to teach the user about typing.

2. There are exercises for the user to practice his typing skill and speed.

3. There is also a speed test to test the user’s typing speed.

Cons:

1. The website is too plain. Simple background.

2. No video and audio aids for the user to learn.

Overall, I find this website an average website for e-learning.

week 4 reflection!

today was learning about brezzer and how to create them with the powerpoint slides.
i think it was easy and the brezzer is just at the powerpoint la!wa...its like super obvious and I never notice it.
so after that was finishing the remaining of the power point slides and created them with the brezzer.
I think I did not really did a good job with the power point as i think i just did a rough draft of what im suppose to do for the project.
anyway today I also learnt on how to use the hot potato.
The hot potato is rather easy to use and I think I have learnt how to use another new tool for my e-learning!HAHAHAHA~!
1st was JQuiz.this was basically short-answer and mcq questions.I think this is like the easiest tool as it was rather straight forward.The other tools like Jcross and Jmatch all seems to be more complicated and I feel that the tools may require for me to explore more and finally understand how to use them.So,for overall of the hot potatos,the tools are rather simple to use and does not really require much knowlege for me and I think i can really create very useful materials from using hot potato.
so thats all for today EELD. (:
