Reflection on online learning

 Assalamualaikum and a very good day to readers. After 5 weeks of lessons, we were asked about our experience regarding online learning. For someone who has been experiencing online learning since the fourth semester of diploma by online distance learning, there is a lot to talk about.



From my experience, online learning means that learning by using the online platform. Where educators use online programs to teach students and also assess them.


To start, there is quite a number of perks. One of them is the fluidity of learning. By using online learning, I was able to learn or take classes and do tasks anywhere I am. I could also use my mobile devices, such as smartphones, personal laptops, and even tablets. This helps me to be able to not feel stuck learning in the same room, same class, same place every time. Secondly, there are diverse types of programs that I was able to use and learn from. Some of them such as Kahoot, Canva, and etc. This does not just help to increase my ability in my hard skills. Furthermore, I also become more ready to try new things. As lecturers had to give tasks and assignments by online platforms, I was confused at first as to how to do it, but in the end, it all works great.



On the other hand, there were also some cons to online learning. One major difficulty is bad internet connection. As the place that I am currently learning is in the suburbs, internet connection could become a hassle sometimes. Even during live online classes, there would be some disruptions that caused the class to be lagging, stuttering, and sometimes even disconnected. Plus, some online programs could also be so hard to learn. There are a couple of programs which does not have clear instruction and even the designs of the programs are too messy to understand.


In a nutshell, online learning is probably one of the main ways of learning moving forward in the future. For great online learning, I hope that more instructors and students are able to use online programs and understand how to use them. I also hope online programs will be more user-friendly and easier to understand.

Instructional Design Models (ADDIE vs ID4T)

  As we learn instructional design in our second week of class, we were required to compare two instructional design models, which is ID4T to any other model. As for me, I pick the ADDIE model as a comparison to ID4T. ADDIE The ADDIE model is one of the most famous types of model in instructional design. This model retained a five step approach, which is also much more detailed in its' subset. The five steps are Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate formed the name, ADDIE. ID4T ID4T or Instructional Design For Teachers is also a model for instructional designs. The model is split into nine processes. The creator Carr-Chellman suggests in this model for educators to be “creative with your activities/media, test your instruction, revise, do instructional design all the time”.

Reflection on EDU456

 Assalamualaikum and hello readers. As we have gone through our lesson during week 10, this will be my last blog post for now. For 10 weeks of learning on EDU456, I have learned so much not just in ways of teaching or digital platforms for teachers and educators but so many more. After all the lessons, I have fully understood that the scope of being an educator is not just heading to class every single day and teaching everything that needed to be taught. A lot of things have to be certain before, during, and after a teaching lesson. This includes types of teaching, platforms for educators, digital apps that help with teaching, and many more. Learning about the varieties of apps and software that could be used for teaching does open my eyes to how much, we as educators and everyone, could do. Using Canva to make notes and infographics, learning more usage just from Microsoft Word and Excel, and learning on other various programs that we have used throughout what we learn is very fu...
