Summary proposal: ALS

this is really not an easy task to prepared an proposal in 2 page, of content ALS

in this collaboration action, we need to submit our proposal to state goverment in Pulau Pinang, and present to Chief Minister YB. Lim Guan Eng and his Exco members

I'm sure you would like to know how E Learning could benefit the Government.

The benefits are as follows:

1. It's flexible and accessible for your workers –

Most of our action learning/e-learning courses can be done on-line, so your people wouldn't have to be grouped together in the same place at the same time. They can access e-learning at any time and anywhere.

2. It's inexpensive –

Formerly a lot of money has been spent on engaging outsource/independent multimedia course supplier companies to provide with the training. This is different.

3. Membership of a global learning community would connect Penang to the rest of the world -

Government workers would become students of internationally recognised standards. They would interface with other students from around the world and have access to the learning resources that comes along with such a population. This would help to keep standards in Penang up to date.

4. It offers a different approach in the learning environment –

Your people would be learning in different ways eg. Reading, listening or watching (mostly online courses, e-learning classroom, workshop, etc). In addition, they also can log into forum groups to communicate via SKYPE or Messenger to receive/updates of the latest information about relevant fields.

5. It engages interaction through problem solving and learning –

Your people would interact with other set-members in seeking answers, problem solving and end result learning. through collaborative work in problem solving such as using mind maps and group discussions. They would brainstorm and collect various pieces of information to solve problems abstractly.

6. It offers Informal learning –

Your people would be managing their own personal learning by searching and accessing all kinds of resources: videos, podcasts, blogs, wikis, mindmeisters etc. You would see them creating their own resources and storing them for easy retrieval, idea sharing and social networking to share good solutions and ideas.

7. This approach encourages collaboration –

You would see your people make connections with other set-members with whom they can communicate and share ideas, resources, experiences and so on. They would use new tools to self-organise, to collaborate and co-create content and generally work and learn together. This would create a model for teamwork to help the workforce to create a collaborative work ethic.

8. Progress records would help you overview learning-

The learning process of all students can be recorded and monitored and the information could be used to identify appropriate future leadership candidates. It could also be used to help identify areas of need within public services where further professional development or input from specialists might be required

9. This creates a win-win environment –

This would ensure that your people would become more participative, social and collaborative. This will develop a collaborative culture in the workplace – people will be supporting each other to learn at their own levels.

10. You would have the formation of long term skilled work force -

The newly skilled worforce will be able to share their skills and train others to work in this way, so the skilled workforce will become regenerative, with a ripple effect.

Some of the benefits to individual workers would be as follows:

1. Workers will become tecnologically competent in use of areas such as online tutorials, blog, networking,

and most important of all collaborating together.

2. They will be able to select appropriate tools to use online.

3. They will learn to work together, reading, listening, watching, sharing and connecting with others.

4. Individuals will learn to work independently or collaboratively and to to work to achieve expected outcomes

So in conclusion - we hope we have impressed you with the multi level benefits of E learning and would value your feedback when you have had some time to review the proposal at length.

how to embeded Mind Map into Blog

Publish Maps

MindMeister allows you to make your maps public, i.e. share them with everybody on the Internet. Click the Publish tab on top of Map Properties window to open the Publish Map dialog.






















Check the Publish map to internet option and copy the respective URLs to the clipboard.

If you do not want your map to appear in the Public Maps dialog you can enter a password. All URLs will per default include the password so your users can still get to the map without knowing it. You also have the option to delete the passord parameter from the URL you are using - in this case your users will be prompted to enter the password when connecting to the map.

You can publish your map as a WikiMap to enable read and write access for every MindMeister user.

The following URLs are provided:

• URL: e.g. for adding to an email message
• Direct link: for linking from a web page or blog
• Embed code: for directly displaying the mind map on your website, or integrating it into your blog in an inline frame

You can play around with the width, height and zoom parameters to the IFRAME request to make the map fit your desired dimensions.

finally, i know how to do this, and this mind map can also share during online discussion on SKYPE.

very powerful, and it's like magic, all the thigns across the finger tips.

Tea Reception: sepcial dedicate to alex

dear alex
you had missed the presentation on 20th June 2009 at 3pm.
so, thousand apologies from me not able to make a appoitnment that suite your time
it's Jo idea to do this tea reception, and melinda suggestion to put some instrumental music. and i just convert the slide to become a short video clip with animation.

like Jo Said, all of us enjoyed a sumptuous tea comprising of English scones, strawberry jam, yummy pastries, chocolate cake topped off with hot piping tea...
then we gave hugs and kisses to everyone, we shared a few heartfelt parting words....

Do enjoy... ...

learning outcome #1

i remember first day when i attend the CPPD E-Learn at DISTED on 9th May 2009
ALEX start the workshop by rolling the question in group, asked yourself
what bring you here?
what is it like you would expect in this course, and then generate 10 questions

firstly, i didn't see his intention to do so, why he is using this so -untraditional method (my learning experience is slightly different from his teaching method)
Huh, what is this??
in my mind, i still can't catch what is it going to be?

but, i have my own mission to accomplish
it's hard for me to go under my GOV. agency training, as they didn't provide anything relevant course (i think i won't like to attend kursus pengurusan kewangan, pengurusan Kualiti, tatcara pengurusan stor and so on....), the courses that offer by my agencies is just hardly fit with my field.

actually, i still can considered as fresh-graduate, i am having my degree convocation on 2007
just before this, i had finish my thesis, and m=i do my internship atart end of Disember 2006, then continue work at UTAR as student counsellor after my internship at Hospital Serdang...
i strongly felt that i need some one to guide me along this helping profession.

thus, i make uo my mind, without sponsor from my workplace i will take time to participate in this CPPD program.

Learning to E-Learn is a compulsory module which prepares participants with the critical foundation skills to be able to engage effectively through the action learning process. It utilise the most updated internet technology for group communication and to research solutions to the presenting challenges arising from their respective practice.
(http://www.cppd.onlineuk.org/Modules/elearn.htm)

learning in so flexibility way and using the technology to communicate is 1st time in my life. i am having this precious experiences and i do enjoy so much as having Jo, Hazel, Melinda and Seok Bin as my team members for this action learning set. the learning is not alone. like if i do not know how to download audacity, there is someone to be refer before i go to Alex, the coordinator
and also, if i am having any new input, i will share with them... ...

the 6 weeks learning cycle module and commences with 2 face-to-face workshops, plus 2 online tutorial, and 4-5 formal and informal online group discussion via SKYPE enquire me to utilize the skill that i had learn, we used mind meister to project ideas, used slide share for our sharing presentation, used google documents, the elgg, the wikis for terminology, and also the pando to download and upload big file.

wow, if i am not in this ALS, i don't think i will go through this, i am lazy type people and easy to get comfortable
u know, i can live without internet, handphone or i can spend whole day at home just watching TV or read novel... o i can do so....
like a DRY old lady style right?? who will believe? yes, truthly i can be this way

in this learning module, i get a chance, not to say got chance, i think the suitable words is i had been allocated to an ALS and to achieve the module outcome through the mission code given by ALEX. i need to study, to learn, to engage with set members to discuss, to collaborate and to find a solution on the task given to us.


Thus, the ALS engages as a learning team (the virgin group, 5 of us) need to organising ourselves to enquire, research, discuss and formulate our own solutions to the presenting problem scenario. at the required submission date, we need to submit and publish our findings and received feedback from ALEX
however, ALEX unable to make it due to some reason. we manage to do the presentation online for an hour. just, my personal blog didn't really do much on it..

i can smell that this learning set going to be end in the short while...
i will going to miss this action learning set members

FINALLY, PRESENTATION OVER

this is new experience for me, doing online presentation is really a bit unused to it
before this, when i am studying at university, we r asked to do classroom presentation with a crowd to evaluate your performance.

this round, only priscilla able to join as guest and look at our presentation.
it's really nervous...
feel lucky too, when alex is not able to make it... haha
release my stress....

now, what i need to do is to update the blog and send to alex
also some work for the assignment...

today, i found that the google share document are really good and be useful to do presentation... can invite others as audience and look at the slide in google document
besides, the presentation also have speaker key notes for presenter to refer.

just one thing, if the line is weaked or there is disturbances, such as raining heavily or what..
the online progress might not be workeh out smoothly
this is the only risk
+ blackout...

just now, my house blackout without notice.. for 15 minutes, was staying in the dark alone...
it's really uncomfortable...

learning is FUN

oh GOD.
tomorrow is the final presentation for the Action Learning Set e-learning
but i am so nervous,
yet, the group members is very committed to be available to online at SKYPE to have final discussion and the plan (or so call strategy) to make the presentation work

i feel that the group energy really make us change the dynamic of learning
i m really satisfy on the e-learn

from e- phobia, i am able to cope it and enjoy the new technologies and skill
you know, when we are able to make something happend, or fix the problem...
this will bring a lot of satisfying

the other group for SWP is really passive... i hope the group members might work acively in together to work out for the goal.

kolb's learning style

Keefe (1979) defines learning styles as the "composite of characteristic cognitive, affective, and physiological factors that serve as relatively stable indicators of how a learner perceives, interacts with, and responds to the learning environment." Stewart and Felicetti (1992) define learning styles as those "educational conditions under which a student is most likely to learn." Thus, learning styles are not really concerned with "what" learners learn, but rather "how" they prefer to learn. (http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/styles.html)

learning is interesting. before this, i was able to run workshop for my UTAR student's about learning style. What type of learner u r?
are u a visual learner? audio type? or traditional type?
if u r specific learning style, then the intelligence might able be one of the style u prefer.

in this action learning set, we start from an stranger, to move towards the goal.
Knowing myself and my team's learning style allows me to grow and develop more effectively, building my ICT skills and also top up my personal experience and, i feel that, it's really allowing me to meet my life goals.

sometimes, i feel that i m so "small" and lacking of knowledge in my work,
via this learning, i mean the action learning set do make me aware of my weaknesses and make me move forward on how to gain more resources in my field work.

i will work harder....

do more self relection and shown more evidence of "e-learning"...

problem... alwasy never-ending

problem... never end!
haiya~~ i don't want to have two identity, but things have come this far, that make me no choice but to redo, and re-set my things...
i have no way... and the most headach way is i m not confident what the password i m using.
so, this rounf i make sure myself had a copy in my manual diary, to record my username and password.

hazel will try to do what she can... for the uploading video...

hopefully we are able to meet again before the 2nd online tutorial group in this coming wednesday!

though problems never end... but there is always be solution.
i don't mind to have 2 identity or "dual personality", all the identity is ME :)
