UiTM's timeline
"Whats the use of ilearn if
lecturers themselves do not practice
it and are always not up to date. Is
this uitm standard I wonder.“
salam dato,knp skrg bnyk lecturer tidak memanfaatkan i-learn sbg
medium perantaraan mengajar? susah kalo nk brgantung kpd buku
saja, sy dari uitm penang, bkn nk mgharap nota dari lecturer 100%
memandangkan sy student degree, tp kalolah banyak lecturer
mengupload nota2 penting dlm i-learn tu ade jugak fungsi dia drp
membiarkan sistem tu kosong. selain tu students jgk boleh
membandingkan nota2 antara lecture dari kampus2 lain serta blh
tambah nota rujukan. wktu sy semester 1 dahulu,sy suka belajar nota2
dr i-learn, dh la banyak,tp skrg i-learn dh mcm kosong.

Blending..How?
1
Why do we blend?
What do we blend? Instructional strategies, media, delivery modes?

How do we blend strategies? Lecture, demo, online
discussion, simulation, games, problem based, resource
based?
How do we blend media? Print, digital, multimedia?
5
2
How do we blend modes? F2F, online, offline self-learning?
4
Blending..How?
Blending..How?
Start by looking at the learning outcomes

Identify what can be done best online; develop
materials to support
Create the learning path and make it visible to the
learners; assess each

EXAMPLE 4
Use to supplement
in class instruction
Lecturer uploads
notes , references
and other resources
with no activity
linking to what
transpires in class
Use as a
complementary
support (also blend)
for in class instruction.
Lecturer places notes,
references and other
resources with active
links to in class
activities.
The discussion forum
is utilized but no
change to F2F meeting
time
Use a blended
learning support
platform. Lecturer
places notes,
references and
other resources
with active links to
in class activities
and assessments
The discussion
forum is fully
utilized. F2F
meeting is reduced.
Use as the main
support for learning
and instruction
Learners meet once
a month
All course content ,
resources,
assessments and
communication are
available on and
done via i-Learn
Forum
Learner initiated
Keeping in touch
Post higher order questions
Require learners to interact and
be active
• ONLINE TASK
– Find 5 articles related to your research problem – store and manage
your articles in Mendeley
• Read the abstract
• Map out the literature – use a mind mapping software such as
freemind
– Post your literature map
• Further action
– Summarize each study in an “abstract” that highlights important
elements
– Identify each article’s contribution to the study
– Choose the most relevant ones
– Write your review ( in a paragraph) and post it in the course
forum before November 14, 2012
• Read your friends’ reviews and give your comments

A word of caution….
•E-learning means connecting the
learners to you and content
knowledge even when you are not
around
•E-learning materials do not mean highend content with audio, videoclips on
every ’page
•Blending does not mean you are
spending less time ”teaching”
•Blending does not mean learners are
on their own and do not expect your
prompt feedback
