Week 1: Briefing(12092013)

Hello and Hai, 

As usual, first class in first week was for Course Outline Briefing. This semester, this course will be teach and guided by Dr.Noraffandy Yahaya and Dr.Noor Dayana Abd Halim. But, for this first class it was conducted by Dr Noraffandy. Next class will be by Dr.Noor Dayana. 

According to synopsis of this course, I the student will be exposed to some state-of-the-art communication technology tools which is the Internet and how can use the Internet efficiently in teaching and learning. In the same time, I will have a chance to develop interactive teaching and learning webpage. (I am able to develop webpage but I am not sure whether I am able to develop interactive teaching and learning webpage as I am not so creative to make the webpage become interactive.. ) A big BUT here, in order to take this course which is MPT1393: Web Based Multimedia Development, student must take MPT1193: Authoring System which the pre-requisite subject to MPT1393.

For this semester, it consist 18 weeks which include Mid-semester Break and Exam weeks. I will update from time to time on what had I learned in this class. For evaluation, there are seven(7) assignments and one(1) final exam which carry 30% out of 100%. So, that mean assignment will carry 70%. Actually, now we can come up with proposal. The proposal must be presented and getting approval  before we can proceed with the development. In Assignment 4 we need to present half which is 50% complete and the other half is in Assignment 5. 

Please click on those pictures so that you make them "grow" and clear. :)

Assignment

Web Project will be done in group. It is expected that the website should be contain the following aspects:

Application of active learning strategies, Interactive application involving storage of user input data into database, Integrating all elements of multimedia (video, audio, etc), dynamic, educational and have commercial quality. 

Then, the marking will be based on technique in presenting the learning contents, interactive element, artistic values (I am afraid of this), creativity and originality and last but not least technical aspect.

Move to Design Documents, which documents that are needed before and during the development. This document should include learning problems which problem that consist in learning.. teehee... solutions to learning problems, learning objectives, content of the website, target group (primary or secondary students and university students or maybe teachers?? ), instructional design model used, theory/learning approach that will be used, flowchart and references or resources. DO NOT FORGET ABOUT FINAL REPORT. :)

There is also individual assignment which the evaluation form for website development. It will consist suitability of learning strategy, suitability of interface design, suitability of interaction design, motivational development, website features or strength and the weakness of the website. 

Apart from that, I the student need to do reflection and I choose blog to deliver my reflection. It will be focused on personal blog development and this blog is my 3rd blog actually. In blog, it must contain a page of my personal details, revision notes that had been used throughout this course, work or activities such as presentation, assignment which conducted during class and self reflection section about skills and knowledge that have been obtained from this course. During this class we have been told that this course will be repealed if the new course is being approved. The new course will be focused more on apps development and it will begin in 2014. 

I think that all for now. Thank you.
