This week we were assigned to find four journals on the topic that we have chosen for assignment one to complete our fourth assignment which was to write a literature review using the online materials. The journals must be obtained from different sources such as http://www.ukm.my/library/, http://www.ezplib.ukm.my/login, http://scholar.google.com.my, and http://books.google.com/. For this particular assignment, I paired up with Nigel Lawai Willie and we managed to find four journals from these sources and we decided to use the essential information from the journals to write our report on what should be done in Malaysia.
Undeniably, we had a hard time to find the four different journals because we need to subscribe to it then only we can download them and we even could not access to the UKM library only after we were given the password. Through the process of completing this task, I have gained many experiences especially in searching for reliable information in the net, so my partner and I had to read the information thoroughly and compared them with the information that we got from the different journals.
I realized that this assignment will actually prepare and expose us to the ways of carrying out a research besides providing me with a strong foundation when we are doing our master later on. To carry out a research we need to really master the topic in detail so that our research will be more thoughtful and expressive. For our topic on e-Learning we have found that there was a big problem with the integration of e-Learning in our country, Malaysia especially those students who live in the rural areas who are far more behind compared to the urban students who are far more advance in e-Learning. In fact, the government now is trying to address this gap so that every individual will have the chance to experience e-Learning. We also found a study case in the journal that we found on the integration of e-Learning in Saudi Arabia including the challenges and its development.
In short, through the process of completing this assignment I learned to appreciate the benefits brought by the e-Learning in my daily life and not misuse it. This will also enable me to achieve the skills needed as what was stated in the 21st century skills.
