masalah dengan perisian dropbox

Semenjak berkenalan dengan perisian dropbox, saya sudah kurang menggunakan pendrive atau thumbdrive kerana ia lebih memudahkan proses perkongsian. Saya mempunyai 1 komputer di pejabat, 1 komputer riba untuk kegunaan di rumah dan untuk kegunaan di kawasan luar serta iPad yang selalu saya gunakan di waktu luang atau semasa bermesyuarat.

Ketiga-tiga peralatan ini saya kongsikan kepada akaun Dropbox yang sama. Oleh kerana di pejabat ada talian internet menerusi kabel, dan di rumah saya mempunyai talian streamyx, maka proses synchronization adalah mudah dan kebarangkalian saya menggunakan fail yang tidak dikemaskini adalah kecil.

Selain itu, jika berlaku masalah seperti berikut berlaku,

1. Saya membuat satu fail bernama laporan.doc dan disimpan dalam komputer dipejabat.
2. Kemudian, saya akses di rumah dan membuat pengubahsuaian kepada fail tersebut.
3. Keesokan harinya, saya ke pejabat dan membuka fail laporan yang sama. Malangnya, line internet dipejabat ada masalah. Say terpaksa menyiapkan laporan tersebut, maka saya terus mengemaskini laporan dan menghantarnya ke pejabat pada hari hari yang sama.
4. Hari berikutnya, setelah talian internet pulih di pejabat, akan ada 2 fail bernama laporan.doc dan laporan conflict norah laptop.doc di dropbox saya.

Saya hanya perlu ingat yang mana satu terkini dan mana satu tidak. Saya boleh simpan keduanya atau padam salah satu daripadanya mengikut keperluan.

Masalah ini lebih kecil berbanding menggunaka pendrive atau thumbdrive yang kadangkala fail tersebut telah disalin semula daripada versi yang lama kepada versi yang baru. Pasti anda pernah mengalaminya.

Hari ini, di perpustakaan, saya tidak boleh mengakses penulisan thesis yang saya buat dipejabat semalam. Talian internet yang disediakan oleh YTL tidak beroperasi seperti selalunya. Maka, bagi mengelakkan kekeliruan, saya menulis ke dokumen yang baru dan InsyaAllah jika petang nanti di rumah akan saya gabungkan semula kepada thesis yang telah saya ubahsuai semalam.

Motivasi 2

Sometimes, when we’re tired, we start questioning why we do all this for others….
Sometimes, when we’re worried, we start to blame each others
Sometimes, when we stress, we change to a worst character…

If this happen, please stop doing everything…
Get a full rest…
Ease your mind…
Selawat, Solat and get a good sleep…
Hopefully, u’ll feel much better, tomorrow…
Then, u can start all over again… and InsyaAllah…
The stress will gone,
The worried will gone,
And… u will be relax and fresh…to finish whichever u need to do.

Expanding the OER Community by Showcasing a Development Model that Works (Paper proceeding)

UTM has participated in Opencourseware Consortium since 2010.On 8-10 May 2013, the Opencourseware Global Conference was held in Bali, Indonesia with their theme Learning Beyond Borders โ€“ Delivering quality education to your fingertips. Deputy Director of Center for Teaching and Learning and myself had an opportunities to shares our experience in promoting OCW dan other OER product in UTM. We present our paper entitle “Expanding the OER Community by Showcasing a Development Model that Works”

Abstract of the paper is as follows:

The concept of open educational resources was relatively new among public universities in Malaysia. In 2011 only two universities were registered as a member of the OpenCourseWare Consortium and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) was one of them. However, in a
period of less than one year after becoming a member of the consortium, UTM managed to publish 70 courses in its ocw website and this was achieved without any monetary reward given to the course authors. The process used to develop the courses started by selecting potential courses from the university e-learning portal. Authors of the courses were invited to workshops especially designed to assist them in converting the lecture notes into OCW publication materials. The normal procedure in OCW development that is checking for copyright and other issues, identifying figures to be redrawn and designing the course for online publication took place during the workshop. Later, individual graphic designers were assigned to each course to assist the author in recreating the figures, if necessary. The software used as the in the ocw website is the same software used as e-learning platform. Next, the IP of the published material was assigned to the respective authors. As a results of this success story, other universities in Malaysia are now looking at their own potential as contributors to OER and the initiative is now seen as one way to contribute to the society and not as a mere branding exercise. OER development is now is becoming a national project and public universities in Malaysia have agreed in principle to form a national OER consortium. By having a consortium, instead of competing with each other and recreating established courses, the universities will focus on the development of courses related to their niche areas. Based on this positive development, it is hoped universities in Malaysia will become major contributors to the global repository of open educational resources.
