In Training 27th March 2010: INTI Subang Jaya Part 1

Currently sitting down in my training groups (sounds like I'm a student myself now since I'm posting while in-class so to speak). But I'm listening now and taking notes as per my blog. Dr.Tee is talking about Mini Action Research: Act and Observe;

Points:
Act- Build an online community to support each other anytime, anywhere
Observe- Frequency

Reflection and Evaluation
1. Results of observation- no usage activities, no online interaction, no knowledge construction, no users to interveiw
2. Reflection- What went wrong?
3. Evaluation: No need for this online community

Part 2
1.Reflection- Why didn't you use this website?
2.Action and observation- Collect data from interview/focus group

Evaluation
1. Unecessary for me
2. No interest
3. No time
4. Limited knowledge on usage of site(what and how?)

* We often behave like students which to a certain extent, seems very embarassing like we do not have time, I don't like it. I believe its the same thing with our own students.

So he said, what do you do then?
1. If it is unecessary, how are their needs being met?
2. If you do not have time does senior mgmt recognize this limitation?
3. What can be done to elevate this if your not comfortable with tech or know-how/what is limited?

Back to the drawing board;
1. Perhaps a mini training during the 1st session.
2. Additional time with the non-tech savvy people
3. Ensure each group of proficient users (know how)

* Personally, I do not like the website(I did not actively participate but I did view the site and have a look at it, I did not feel to comfortable). I wished it was less formal, the site that is. Maybe it is just me I prefer blogs and facebook sort of application rather than sites. As silly as it sounds, I do not want to mess it up as it seems so formal and all.

-That's all for Part 1! Going to the data analysis in groups.
