Assignment Two Completed

Finally I have finished my essay and ready to submit. As I have read and researched so many I have come up with a Working Proposition of "The ultimate Intelligent Society of Learning - Lifelong online learning and participation". Cynthia, I hope this is okay :) As I will be going away I gave myself a new deadline i.e. Everything must be completed by tonight. So, this completes my internet studies for NET11. Thank you so much Cynthia and everyone who have contributed so much at the discussion board. Bye-bye.... :-)

Plagiarism Document

Last night, I read the very important plagiarism document - a contractual agreement between Curtin and myself as announced by Cynthia.

In fact, I have in the past few weeks working on my essay, login to WebCT almost every night checking and reading new posts on discussion board. Of course, checking my result for assignment one. Thank you Cynthia, I'm happy with the mark. :)

Module 5 - Info-Communication Concepts

Immediately after completing assignment 1, I started to go through this module on readings and tried to understand more ‘conceptually’ about the net and the intersection between information and communication. This module covers three sections from Information Ecologies, Peer-to-Peer to the future of the net.

The term Information Ecologies is totally new to me and I find it interesting the many approaches we could have about the Internet. The complexity and uniqueness of the Internet are interrelated system between people and tools where we should continue to learn and participate.

Reading through P2P Networking allowed me to better understanding Peer-to-Peer networking. The effective ways of information sharing and its dynamic potential in business communities should be an exciting one. The downside is however, the emerging challenge of legal concerns.

It was amazing to see how Internet2 have progressed in the past 10 years. Their collaboratively ways of research and education will eventually evolved and transformed information and communication in how we work, learn and communicate. In light of this, I would say this very exciting advancement of technologies has indeed build us to develop our skills and knowledge towards the so called “Learning Society” as cited on page 322 of Phillip C Candy in his electronic PDF version document of Linking Thinking 2004.

Tonight I edited and uploaded my website for WebCT presentation. I have been working on this during the last couple of weeks and finally got it done. I have had several errors when checking my hand coded html and I'm glad I had them all fixed. It was quite a frustrating process anyway by searching information from the Web helped. I also like to thank Cynthia and those who have posted some good tips and information in the discussion board. Greatly appreciated!
