Due to this COVID-19 situation, most of the things that we do will be change into the online platform. And surprisingly most of us can handle meetings, talk, and classes through online platforms. To quote our Prime Minister in his speech on 10 April 2020, he did mention about the “new normal”. Everything will be new to us and we must do our best to cope with this new normal situation. Hence, one of the new normal that I as an educator need to face is the online internship supervision. One of my internship students has presented about her supervision last Thursday (16 April 2020). The presentation was conducted through Google Meet along with her company supervisors. Although the presentation was conducted on an online platform, I feel that she has done good enough at the company and I got enough information regarding her internship. The company’s supervisors were very satisfied with the student and asked the university to send many more students to their company. haha. It is actually really good to have online supervision like this since it can save costs as well as save time to travel to the students’ internship company. I think this kind of supervision can be continued even after this COVID-19 situation. If we need to check on the site of students’ workplaces, we can ask the students to make a proper video to be presented to us, the University supervisor. Here I are some photos during the online internship supervision 🙂
While searching for information and more educational resources, I come across this paper by Singh & Thurman (2019) that made a meta-analysis on the definition of ‘Online Learning’. I love reading this article, the way they write it and how they come out the clearly produce a definition of online learning from their meta-analysis.

Kesinambungan dari post saya yang lepas, banyak institusi pengajaran telah mula mengendalikan sesi pengajaran dan pembelajaran dalam talian dengan menggunakan pelbagai platform. Bagi pelajar yang tidak mempunyai masalah dengan talian internet mereka, para pengajar kebanyakkannya akan menggunakan platform yang membenarkan pengajaran secara segerak (synchronous) seperti Google Meet, Webex, Zoom dan BigBlueButton. Manakala bagi pelajar-pelajar yang mempunyai masalah talian internet, ramai pengajar yang mengambil inisiatif untuk menggunakan aplikasi media sosial yang telah biasa digunakan oleh para pelajar seperti FB live, Instagram live, Whatsapp dan Telegram. Dalam keadaan ini, para pengajar perlu menjadi kreatif untuk menggunakan kesemua platform ini demi menyampaikan ilmu kepada para pelajar. Akan tetapi, para pengajar akan ada masalah untuk memastikan pelajar betul-betul mendapat ilmu yang ingin disampaikan. Salah satu cara yang boleh digunakan adalah dengan memberikan kuiz untuk menguji ilmu yang telah dipelajari. Jadi, bagi para pengajar yang menggunakan Telegram sebagai medium pengajaran, disini saya ingin kongsikan tutorial untuk membuat ‘polling’ atau kuiz dalam telegram.

Selamat mencuba dan semoga membantu!
