CECS 6100 – week 9

March 15, 2010

This week is spring break and I was waiting on it since the beginning of the semester.

CECS 6100 – week 8

March 15, 2010

During this week, the instructor has divided the whole class into three groups. I was assigned to ‘Deformation of communication in online teaching and learning: How do technology systems used for teaching and learning enhance or degrade education?’ group as its leader along with other three students. I was able to complete the IRB which was mostly filled out by the instructor; I also emailed the group members a copy of the IRB to make sure that there was no typo mistakes or other wording issue. The idea behind this research is to explore whether or not if communication through modern technological systems enhances or degrades communication in teaching and learning and indeed has affected the communication process negatively or positively. The topic is new to my knowledge and I find it to be interesting to learn more about communication tools that we encounter on our daily lives from email to facebook. I am looking forward to reading the final results of this study.
