REFLECTION WEEK 13

Image
Assalamualaikum and Good day sir! Today is the last 2nd class before we officially end this course and to be honest, I'm not sure how to describe my feelings. It's a mixture of happiness (because this semester is definitely heavier compared to last semester) and sadness. I mean, you have provide us with so many things that is useful not just for your course, but also my life! Apart form the official content that we all need to learn before the semester ends, you always insert other fun things that we all can explore by ourselves.  Before we started the class today, you requested us to do some activity since it's been a while since our last one! Today's activity is all about utilizing Canva, with our group members. It's fun to experience doing things with different type of people. All this while, we always pick our own friends and to have new people for sometimes, that's quite interesting. You can view my group's poster down here! 👇 https://www.canva.com/des...

REFLECTION WEEK 12

 Assalamualaikum and Good day! I feel great today even though there are a few distractions through out the whole class. I mean that's exactly the reality of online class. But let's not talk about the distractions and let's talk about what we all learn today! So basically what I have learnt today is all about active learning! This really is an interesting topic since as a student myself, I found a huge gap between active vs passive learning. A class will always be better when it is active even though I sometimes feel it is suffocating.  When Sir Imran quoted from Bonwell and Eison (1991), it shows how people back in those 80s era care about the education. It surprised me that people from thousand years ago have been discussing about this. We could see how great active learning can influence students' performance.  Other than that, I also get to know some AR fun apps to be used in the future!   A ll these while, besides Snapchat, I only know an application (ARLoopa) an...

REFLECTION : WEEK 11

  Assalamualaikum and good day sir Imran! Today’s class was all fun and great since I managed to learn new things even though there were a few times that I got kicked out of class due to my internet connection. Thankfully, I did not miss important things and managed to catch everything in the class.  Firstly, I learnt about animation. I mean it is so interesting to see how our eyes work with animation. I have never thought about it before as well as the types of animation. Everyday we see various kinds of animations wherever we are but I never knew they had their own type! Hihi. Other than that, I learnt about 12 principles of animation such as staging and Stage Ahead & Post to Post.  The highlight of today’s class is definitely when we all get to learn how to create one cool froggy-gif! I mean who would’ve thought it would be that easy? Except the finding image part. Hahah it’s easy when you provide us with a good picture.  Lastly, I hope you can help those who ...

REFLECTION : WEEK 10

Hi and Good Afternoon Sir! All praise to Allah, today’s session is better than last week! My internet connection is great despite the heavy rain, and I managed to understand every single lesson you taught us! Firstly, I learnt a lot of interesting terms in video editing. I mean they are familiar but I never know their terms. For example the HDMI and the foley. I have come across videos of how they made some familiar sounds in movies/films, but I don't know that foley is the term that we should address when we are talking about it. Apart from that, I also learnt about the new terms that I have never heard of before, such as B-roll and J-cut.  Next, is the video editing session! I, myself too, use Filmora for any work using a laptop, but not that much since I have no other reason to use it except for assignments.  And when I changed my laptop I no longer used them but moved to Capcut since it is easier and most importantly, it is in my handphone that makes it convenient to edit ...

REFLECTION : WEEK 9

 Assalamualaikum and good afternoon Sir! For today's class, I must admit that it wasn't a pleasant session. My internet connection wasn't really good especially the first session before the 10-mins-break. I did not managed to catch few things but definitely will look back to the recorded video that you'll upload. Despite missing a lot of things before the break and also a few after the break, the Quizziz somehow has helped me to learn a lot! I think it challenges me to learn and answer based on reading the questions properly huhu. I also found it amazing to know about the audio web-based app that you have introduced to us such as the audiomass.co. I have never edited any sound/voice before this but after this I can try it for my video assignment. Other than that, I also learnt about the audio devices that I often see but definitely never use any of them before this. It's great to know their functions in details and perhaps someday we'll be able to buy it too. La...

REFLECTION : WEEK 8

 Hello and good day Sir! I believe I did not start the class with a great mind but I'm so happy that the song selection made me went thru the day! Before I continue my reflection, I only have one question for you Sir... Why do you keep providing us with information that is useful not only for your class but also other class? XD I haven't moved on yet from last class' tools and websites but today you provide us with another things! Even though there is a lot to process this time, but I enjoyed every seconds of your class.  I learnt a lot for today's class. Although some of it is just like a revision since we have learnt it in our previous EDIT class but the new knowledge is a lot! And you actually brought us to understand the previous lesson deeper. For example the raster vs vector format. Previously, we only know the type of images in those format but today we managed to see the different clearly and also experienced to convert the image and see it by ourselves. The Can...

REFLECTION : WEEK 7

  Assalamualaikum and good afternoon Sir! It feels great to start our morning class by doing some activities that require us to open our eyes and look for mistakes this time.  This week, I think the learning session is full of informations. It's not the previous classes haven't give me knowledge, but today's session has a lot of informations that is useful for other courses too. I never knew about the powerpoint font thingy before this but now I know! Other than that, the option to upload our own font on Canva is also new to me. And of course, the elements that can be found when using font is absolutely new i think to most of us. It never came across my mind that little hole in the letter "P" for example, can have its own name. huhu I understand everything very well except for the task distribution part. But worry not, it's my flaws and I'll replay the recorded version and also reach my friends to clear the parts that I missed during class. I guess that is...

REFLECTION : WEEK 6

  Assalamulaikum and Ola sir! Today's class is so far the quickest lesson yet the most fun one. I think because we start the class with presentations followed by quizzes that definitely speed up the activation of my brain hehe. And not to forget that today is the last day before our mid sem break that we've been looking for since the semester starts haha. Just like previous classes, today's class too has taught me about features that I never knew even though I am a regular user of those applications. For example, some basic features presented by group 3 about powerpoint and also about the Canva whereby we can actually create an interactive lesson using them. Other than that is the flowchart web that allow us to create a flowchart quicker. All this time, I've been using Microsoft Words to create any flowchart and I can confirm it is not a pleasant experience especially if there are lots of informations that we need to put in. It could take days if we missed any info and ...

REFLECTION : WEEK 5

  Assalamualaikum and good afternoon Sir! Today's class session really has taught me how difficult it is to conduct an online class. Despite the technical issue, I really think it is a good exposure for us since you allow us to utilize today's class to have our own simple and quick presentation. I seriously don't feel how fast time flies in today's class to be honest.  When you mentioned on how to conduct a brainstorm session, I just realized that what I've been doing this whole time is actually a time consuming one! And the fact that we did not break it into a few sessions make it even a dull session for me. It's a great tips and I thank you for that! For the DDD-E model, since we only managed to learn the first 2 D, I think it is really helpful for us not just in Instructional Design but as well for other courses. When I wanted to conduct a presentation or even any assignments, I think I often did not have a direction until I stuck in the middle of the process...

REFLECTION : WEEK 4

 Assalamualaikum and a very good afternoon Sir! Alhamdulillah, today is all about new knowledge and In Shaa Allah will benefit us all till forever. I am a little bit disappointed today because of my bad internet connection towards the end of the class. But thanks to you, I can rewatch today's lesson and catch the things that I missed when I lost the connection during class. Apart from that, I am also grateful that you correct me when I misused the word "boring" as I did a few readings right after that and I've discovered more vocabulary! I am very familiar with both Canva and Quizizz but have never explore them just like how we did today. It surprised me that we can create a slide in Quizizz and at the same we can insert the questions feature like the one we often assigned to do for our homework. It definitely helps in creating an engaging in-class presentation in the future! Besides, the hack you told us about how to find a good element in Canva is also helpful! I of...

REFLECTION : WEEK 3

   Hello Sir! All praises to Allah that we meet again this week even though I entered the class a little bit late this week (;( I apologize for that Sir. Just like the previous session, I feel happy about this week's session and even better with the great selection of the music this time in the background XD I am grateful as well for the recordings since I need to rewatch the video for the part that I missed in the class.  I learnt about instructional design for education such as their job scope and also the ASSURE for this week's session! I'm very much surprised when I knew that they don't have anything to do with multimedia/graphics instead they decide or plan for the lessons. From what I understand, the ASSURE model is an instructional system (consist of 6 steps : analyze learner, state objectives, state method, media and materials, utilize the 3M, require learner participation and evaluate students performance) that guide the teachers in integrating appropriate medi...

  Assalamualaikum and good day Sir! Today's class definitely as fun as the previous one except for the music background XD.  I feel grateful today since I've been introduced to cool application-Milanote! Milanote is unquestionably the highlight of today's class and being able to learn how it works is just amazing. All the provided templates and features in Milanote is going to help me survive my university years and probably until forever.  Apart from Milanote, I also learned about The Intangibles- Good ideas, time, skill, money, team, talent & organization skill! I feel very much attacked when you mentioned the proverb "Hard work beats talents when talents doesn't work hard". I realized that I have not work myself very much these days, perhaps due to the long days of break that I made myself feel so comfortable of not doing anything. Back to what I have learned today which is the importance of finding solution in creativity. I never realised that it is re...

REFLECTION : WEEK 1

  Assalamualaikum and hello Sir! My name is Noor Mirsya Azmeera binti Arsad and my friends call me Mirsya.  Since today is our first session for EDIT 1602, I am very excited for the class since I am very curious of what will we learn through out this semester with you. At the same time, I was a little bit nervous just now since I am new to all these things (e.g. Schoology). I can't wait to treasure this course since you already made the first class fun but full of new knowledge.  I managed to learn a few things for today's session. Firstly, is how do we use Schoology. This application is new to most of but now I can see why do you like it very much. Secondly, I also learnt about multimedia from the basic such as the 5 elements of multimedia which are text, image, audio, animation and video to how do we see ourselves implementing multimedia in our education in the future. I also learnt how multimedia and technologies had made our life both easy and miserable based on my cl...
