Week 1: Intro

Salam and hi, 

In this blog, i would like to share on how to develop a website but not just an ordinary website, but an educational website. Since I've learned some programming skills in Authoring Class last semester, I hope i can develop an interactive teaching and learning webpage or portal.

In this Web-Based Multimedia Development (MPT 1393) class, I will learn on how to develop website based on suitable learning theories and instructional designs.  This class will be conducted by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Noraffandy Yahaya and Dr. Noor Dayana Abd Halim. 

Here, i give the synopsis about this courses.

"In this course, students will be exposed with some state-of-the-art communication technology tools, which is Internet and how it can be used efficiently in teaching and learning. Students will have their chance to develop an interactive teaching and learning webpage or portal using programming skills that have been learned in MPT 1193 (Authoring System). Students also will have an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of the webpage; that has been developed; using several testing and evaluation techniques that will be introduced in this course"

This week is a 1st class and  was conducted by Dr. Noraffandy. The next class will be conducted by Dr. Noor Dayana. In 1st class, just a short briefing from Dr. about assignment, presentation and evaluation for a website development. In this course, we will have 7 assignments in total and 1 final exam which carry about 30% marks. So, I must do the assignment 'secemerlang yang boleh' cause it carry about 70% marks.

Wee... we just had our first assignment which is design document for our website. For presentation of our proposal, we have been asked to do it using PREZI. I searched about PREZI and I found that the PREZI is a cloud based presentation software that opens up a new world between whiteboards and slides.  The fun is about PREZI is the zoomzble canvas to explore ideas. I found it really interesting and can makes a beautiful, creative and fun presentation.

So, this week is just a short briefing from Dr. and we're finished class early.
