<\/a><\/p>\nI had another Webex session last Thursday (16 April 2020).\u00a0 This session was a meeting to discuss a special grant post-covid19.\u00a0 Only 10 proposals will be selected.\u00a0 Tough competition.\u00a0 Indeed.<\/p>\n
The first 10 minutes was ok.\u00a0 I can see the host, Assoc Prof Fauzi from ATI talked.\u00a0 Then followed by Prof Zaidatun.\u00a0 Then out of sudden, I could no longer see her face, the slides and hear her voice.\u00a0 I tried to check the source of my technical problems.\u00a0 Well, apparently, the internet is really low and thus, I experienced that.<\/p>\n
Having to experience this first hand, I start to think about the students who have classes using Webex.\u00a0 If they have similar internet connection limitations, they might experience the same thing.\u00a0 Of course, I can always look back the recorded session.\u00a0 Yet, the feeling that I had when such thing happened is indescribable.\u00a0 I felt confused, sad, mad (at the internet connection) and such feelings bugged me for the whole day because even though I know that I could not control it, yet I wish that things are different.\u00a0 I hate the fact that I am missing out some things that might be important.\u00a0 I want to be “present”.\u00a0 Watching the recorded session does not make me feel “at present”.\u00a0 Feeling left out<\/a> is psychologically painful.\u00a0 \u00a0It has something to do with our basic needs as proposed by Abraham Maslow in his hierarchy of needs.\u00a0 Feeling of belonging, inclusion and such.<\/p>\n Having a first hand experience on this matter makes me more emphatic of my students’ predicament.\u00a0 So, I will try my very best to make sure that I can reach out to them regardless of the limitations especially internet connection that we might have at the moment.<\/p>\n I joined a Webex session last Tuesday (14 April 2020) about writing article for mass media.\u00a0 It was a sharing session with Assoc Prof Kassim Thukiman.\u00a0 \u00a0A humble guy with vast experience on writing article for mass media.\u00a0 \u00a0He has a flair of Malay language.\u00a0 Indeed.\u00a0 A class of its own.\u00a0 Things went well for … Continue reading Webex went ok (wrong?)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":851,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-other"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/hadijahjaffri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/hadijahjaffri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/hadijahjaffri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/hadijahjaffri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/851"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/hadijahjaffri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4896"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/hadijahjaffri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4896\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4904,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/hadijahjaffri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4896\/revisions\/4904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/hadijahjaffri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/hadijahjaffri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/people.utm.my\/hadijahjaffri\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
