2nd online conference v set members

today, this is our 2nd online group conference via skype,
actually Jo had set the powerpoint for the action learning set mission code project.
but this round, we tried to figure out, is there any possibilities to insert the video and audio for the powerpoint presentation.

this round, we tried to distribute the work and resposibilities among ourselves, and this is
melinda- overview action learning set - using audacity to read out the bullet
iling and hazel - slide 7 & 8; make it as video
Jo- try to searching on the action learning video.
Seok Binn - try to explore the audacity, or real player, and try to store it online, so group members can try to download from there.

so, for my part, the operation framework
we are arguing on the question that i ask "is blog using as communication or documentation tools?"
so, melinda respond that blog is used to keeping up as documentation as we r writing the journal and keep it record.
but, however it is used to communicate a well, as follower could comments on the blog...
haha..
so, the round discussion must make agreement around the members

hazel had make us a mind map

on how the workforce can update skill effecttively.

i think this is really good effort. and i think, we need to update skills, as well as the information and of cours the groups work.

yeah... the virgin groups is working hard to achieve the mission...
pray hard and work hard, so that the mission can be done successfully... ...

What's Action Learning?

To answer the Mission Code Name: Operation ACT 09

the initial question that we need to ask is :-
(1) What is Action Learning?
(2) How the action learning work?
(3) How to start it?
(4) what's the learning set to be able to work in group?

Action Learning (AL) involves working on real problems, focusing on learning and actually implementing solutions. It is a form of learning by doing. Pioneered by Professor Reg Revans and developed worldwide over the last 50 years, it provides a well-tried method of accelerating learning which enables people to handle difficult situations more effectively.

AL is a process of inquiry, beginning with the experience of not knowing 'what to do next', and finding that answers are not available through current expertise. When expertise fails to provide an answer, collaborative inquiry with fellow learners who are undergoing the same questioning experience is always available. To be effective, this partnership in learning needs to be both supportive and at the same time challenging, deeply caring yet questioning. Such partnerships actually create themselves when different people with different ideas engage whole-heartedly with each other to resolve each others' problems.

This is a profound shift: from dependence on available expertise and pride in the steady accumulation of knowledge to learning with and from fellow learners, honestly disclosing doubts and admitting ignorance.

AL is based on a radical concept: L = P + Q.

Learning requires Programmed knowledge (routine knowledge in use) and Questioning insight. The process integrates research on what is obscure with action to resolve a problem, and personal and communal reflection.

The process takes place initially in small groups, called 'Sets', but is free to find other opportunities for furthering inquiry. Each question has possible answers which are tested in action. Those taking part in this process find that they have opened up far more than a useful technique of investigation; they have found a new way of life where being responsible for one's own learning is a continuing process of personal development.

Professor Revans founded AL on the principle that it creates conditions in a tight learning community such that real people are obliged to tackle real problems in real time:

· small stable group ('Set') of about six 'comrades in adversity' working in a regular social process

· learn from and with each other to take observable action

· target the reality of the 'mess' at field level

· problems are complex and have no identifiable solution

· issues have significance and risk for the participants

· proceed by conjecture and refutation

· exchange advice, criticism and support

· activities lead to examination of the problem(s) and the self

· learning is both defined and accidental

today, i m rushing for my power-point presentation while in the office i am stuck with all type of client cases. I find it so hard, sometimes working without internet and resources in my office. u know, my office is good enough providing support and welfare care for clients, but not working employes

could u imagine, i am working there 1 year without a personal computer, but just like playing music chair to share the computer with others' staff there. just on 14 april 2009, i had get my own pc. It's a good motivation for me. i tell myself, it's a good start to move on...

however, there is problem occurs. i do not have internet access in my room. my computr practice using Open Office application, while the older computer is using Microsoft/window xp. when i am doing any word documentation and would like to print out at others colleague computer who has printer, it's really killed me.

due to the reason, when i am doing printing, the margin of the paper will always run and not be fit. MY GOD. just thinking like want to kicking it and say "GO Hxxx"
i practice my EI, learn to have more positive self talk to myself, and asked my emotion to be relax and just let it be.

after trying and fixing it,
around 60 minutes pass....
FINALLY used my gmail to log in using OPEN ID.
it's really a little hard time...

i am not sure what is this ELGG about...

1. what is ELGG?
2. How does ELGG functioning?
3. What am i going to do with ELGG after i notice Alex of my iD?
4. how can i learn from ELGG from this learning module?
5. Is it hard to master ELGG?
6. Will i able to find the solution if i am having difficulties?
7. How am i able to seek for aids? Who can help me? Alex? ???
8.HOW ABOUT d others members? can they help me in learning out and achieve the objective
9. if there is any assignment to complete, am i able to do it ?
10. maybe i just need to relax for sometime, and wait for coordinator next instruction :)
