Time management is a crucial thing for this hectic week especially because we are given a bundle of task. A successful student is a student who can manage their time well. For me, works are not a burden but more too challenges.
Move on to our task for this week, it is based on our assignment (THINK, PAIR,SHARE) which related to Open Source Software (OSS) for my group. Again, I was paired with Halil b. Siri. However and there is lot of sub-task that we need to finish it off including collecting a few journals and come out with our own report. Referring to the previous assignment that we have chosen, my partner and I have decided to narrow our topic on "The Future of Open Source Software (OSS)" especially in education field. As the necessary requirement, firstly we have to find 2 journals from UKM library, one from Google scholar and one journal from Google book. But, we faced a difficulty to access on the UKM library because we don't have yet the password and ID needed for log it in. Then, we must read all the journal before we can come out with our own report on it.
After a briefly introduction on Open Source Software (OSS) in the first assignment, we focus on The Future of OSS. As teacher-to-be, personally I'm thinking that the usage brings a lot of goods and it's really helpful to ensure all the learning process run smoothly. Using OSS, the educator and the students be able to gain a loads of information and knowledge. For example,they can download more than 2800 educational registered sites and over a million courses on http://www.moodle.org.It also emphasizes on student’s active participation in learning process through online forums and other interactive centers all over the world. Besides Moodle, there are another open software which support LMS such as SAKAI, OLAT and Atutor.
Another great aspect about OSS is you do not need to pay for each software used because it is a free downloading. It also encourage students to try more innovation in learning such as creating blogs and other interactive web application. Thus, the effectiveness of communication can be enhancing among the peer either in or outside classroom. The only thing that we need to consider is about the security level against the viruses.
Last but not least, I gain a plethora of knowledge about the Open Source Software and how it play a vital role in our education system. In a nutshell, this is the first time i have used Open Office to write the report. It is quite same with Microsoft System. Thus, there's no much problem to do it.
