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
