My name is Ahmed Fallatah. I am from Saudi Arabia. I am full
time Student in Instructional Technology master program in CSUSB. I have no experience
or background in the field of education, but I love training and self-development.
Since 2002 when I graduated from the university I have been working at CTLD (The
Center of Teaching and Learning development) in King Abdul-Aziz University, Jeddah,
Saudi Arabia. In CTLD on of our mission is to enhance the use of technology in the
teaching and learning process. This mission was beyond my decision to enroll in
instructional technology program. This is my third quarter in the program and I
think I am learning something new whenever I go deeper in the program. I look
forward to learn from this class a variety technology and software that support
E-learning environment and who to effectively use them.
In fact, I did not used to take online courses, and I am
still thinking face-to-face environment give more opportunities to interact
with instructors and classmates and share knowledge with them. However, conditions of the modern technical world forces us to shift our
methods of teaching and learning. I hope in this program I learn something that
strengthen my cconviction on technology and the technology
has the ability to provide an
appropriate alternatives for the traditional method of learning teaching and
learning.
I used to use Liveminutes which is a web service
that support online meeting. I found these servers so useful in E-learning
environment, some of the features of Liveminutes are that it is allow sharing presenting
file or graphic on screen and it allows using a telephone, and it allows voice
and text comments like a real class or meeting, and sending reports for all
participants.
