MITE 6025 Methods of research and enquiry INDIVIDUAL REVIEW OF GROUP PROJECT
Review group: BIG FOUR The group project is showed in a clear form. You can see different part of the project clearly. The group members divided the project in different part such as Topic, Research Problem, Purpose statement, Research Question, Outline, Supporting Literatures, Statement and Methodology. They are quiet in order, it shows completely strategy for their research work. There are enough supporting materials shown in the supporting literatures list. The materials are closely related to the research topic such as Extending Moodle to better support computing education (RoBling, G., & Kothe, A), A Comparison of WebCT, Blackboard and Moodle for the teaching and learning of continuing education courses (Ceung, K. S.), Moodle vs. Facebook: Does using Facebook for Discussions in an Online Course Enhance Perceived Social Presence and Student Interaction? (DeSchryver, M., Mishra, P., Koehleer, M., & Francis, A.), Blackboard vs. Moodle: Comparing user experience of learning management systems (Machado, M., & Tao, E.) and Why Moodle (Al-Ajlan, A., & Zedan, H.) are quoting for supporting their argument. They are very useful and high value for reference of these supporting literatures. The references are relating to the Moodle platform and education. As the role of the Moodle, how it play a important role in LMS. They have different ways to receive the relevant messages, lessons observation, questionnaire and interview with teachers. That is more angles to see the development of the LMS. Some suggestions about the project of BIG FOUR, the first one is that is good if the analysis method is introduced in the project. It can help them to design the questions of the questionnaire and interview. Furthermore, it determines what data they should sort in. And I think it should also consider what they want to get in the 2 lessons observations, it can help them record the information in sequence and more detail. They are doubt in why some faculties are lack of using Moodle but it really need to state that how the information come from. The one of the research questions want to find out “What’s the reasons lead to teachers don’t use Moodle in the university of Hong Kong?”, there is a problem to ask for some supporting evidences to answer the question. When we face a new technology or teaching aids, there are some attractions to draw us to use them. Originally, we have not such tools to use. That says we will not use it if there are no reason for change. So it is better to prove why or what make us to use them. Please allow me to give a little opinion about the blog. I think it can post by more authors, the group members, as the collaborators. It also can raise some discussions, satisfy and solve some doubts. It can clarify the thinking through the learning process.
Hi,Peter,Thank you for your supporting and suggestions.And you mentioned that The one of the research questions want to find out “What’s the reasons lead to teachers don’t use Moodle in the university of Hong Kong?”, there is a problem to ask for some supporting evidences to answer the question. When we face a new technology or teaching aids, there are some attractions to draw us to use them. Originally, we have not such tools to use. That says we will not use it if there are no reason for change. So it is better to prove why or what make us to use them.
But maybe my opinion is because we think moodle is useful,and we want to implementation it,but we find that not so many faculties are using it,so maybe I think we should find out the reason why teachers don't like to use it so that we can focus on these reasons,then to think out some ways to overcome them.What's your opinion?I am not sure whether my opinion is suitable.
And of course for the group work,we do all the group work together and always discussed the group work together.But we always hand on the final work to the same person to post on the blog.Of course ,I think if we can get more discussion will be better.so really thank you for your suggestion .
