Projects
Conclusion
Since this module is conducted 100% online, online platforms are being used to access the information and announcements. It is an effective way of learning as I can improve my technology skills and can be more familiarise the online platforms.
This module has 2 projects one of them is about forming a group. It is a challenge as we are from different places and it was hard for all of us to gather online due to the internet and time plan yet we managed to. We discussed together through WhatsApp and we did help out each other to complete the online project.
As for the lectures and tutorials, they were held in Teams and we can get extra information, lecture slides and videos from Times, Teams, Telegram, and Facebook. Tutorial activities can be accessed in Times from the videos given to make sure students have a certain understanding of the topics. We have more than 2 platforms for this module so that we don't get to miss out the important announcements. Even though it was conducted online, classes are interesting as the lecturers and tutors wisely used the platforms and tools.
