Acer e-learning competition (July 4, 2008)
Just got an e-mail from my hubby about the acer e-learning competition a few days ago. It is so interesting since it will be talking about information and communication technology, and education. FYI, I’m working at the University in Indonesia, so this is my chance to gain more knowledge about e-learning, and after all, I do love to write, so during this month, July 2008, I will write some articles, opinion, or experience about the e-learning and its development under the Edufiesta category.
This competition like a coincidence, because at this moment I also developed online learning system, that will be used for my next semester. Why I developed my own learning system? I just want to deliver something different on my lectures and currently my university still has not implemented online learning system, I hope in the next few years my university will applying e-learning. I also thank to the acer e-learning competition that drives me to be more creative to learn about e-learning either through internet, library, and discussion forum.
Cheers and goodluck
