Practical 6b

For this week’s practical, I am supposed to post a new discussion or reply to a topic in a forum. I have some difficulty in doing that as some forums require log-ins. I signed up for the forum but it did not send the confirmation email to me. Finally, I posted in a forum which does not require the verification of email.

This week is also e-learning week. I have to post my answer to the question in OLE. The question made me thought about how internet has helped me in my academic life. I realized that with Internet, researching for information required for projects has becoming easier and more efficient. Internet provides me with a wide range of information which is useful in doing my projects. I need not have to browse through a large number of books to get the same amount of information.

Besides signing up a forum and posting answers in OLE, I also have to evaluate the other resource I have found in the last practical based on the criteria given. After evaluating, I realized that this resource is not as updated as compared to the resource I found last week. I am glad that the criterion, currency is used to evaluate resources as it helps me to judge if the information is up-to-date.

I believed that the criteria used in the evaluation of resources will come in useful in future. It will help me in finding information on reliable websites.
