Have you ever used this language in you daily life?

What is this language?
  •  This language is Cyber Language. Or in other words it also known as Netspeak.

Smiley is also one of examples of cyber language.  Smileys are a strange and fun Internet phenomenon, more correctly known as emoticons, which have the purpose of conveying emotion. They are used particularly in online chat rooms and in e-mails.







Situation
Cyber communication, is it a problem, or does it represent progress? This both sides had been discussed, and have come to the conclusion that it depends on the user. If one uses cyber communication in moderation and for the correct reasons, it poses no threat, and can be an unbelievably efficient and useful tool. However, if used incorrectly, cyber communication can have negatives lifelong effects.

Why do people use social networking?  
  • Helping people connect

      -track down old friends and colleagues. 
  • Collaborating at Work
      -User can connect with other people who work for the same company, or in the same industry. 
      - Both businesses and individuals use social networking for marketing purposes.

Asynchronous n Synchronous

 Synchronous? Asynchronous? What's that????


  What is Synchronous?  
  •  Enable real-time communication and collaboration in a "same time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to connect at a single point in time, at the same time.
  • Example, visual images, video conferencing, audio conferencing and text conferencing. 
The Advantage 
  • Being able to engage people instantly and at the same point in time. 
The Drawback
  • They require same-time participation -different time zones and conflicting schedules can create communication challenges. In addition, they tend to be costly and may require significant bandwidth to be efficient.
What is Asynchronous?
  • Enable communication and collaboration over a period of time through a "different time-different place" mode. These tools allow people to connect together at each person's own convenience and own schedule. 
  • Example of Asynchronous is forum, blog and email.
The Advantage
  • Being able to involve people from multiple time zones. In addition, asynchronous tools are helpful in capturing the history of the interactions of a group, allowing for collective knowledge to be more easily shared and distributed.
The Drawback 
  • They require some discipline to use when used for ongoing communities of practice (e.g., people typically must take the initiative to "login" to participate) and they may feel "impersonal" to those who prefer higher-touch synchronous technologies.

Situation
Both of the learning has their own pros and cons. Synchronous is good for dialogue and discussion but it will be costly especially when international participation is involved. While for Asynchronous it is good for dialogue that takes place over period of time but the problem is it will be take long time to arrive at discussions or conclusion. It depends to individual to follow which learning that they prefer because different people different thinking, and different thinking different style of living.

A summary of online education
  •  can help all people from all walks of like gain the education they want to better themselves or to advance in the career they already have.
  •  Online education offers many benefits and few pitfalls when compared to the more traditional 'classroom' approach but you should carefully consider your options before jumping in.
  • There are costs associated with virtually all online education courses but these are usually little more than the costs to study at a college and when you consider that there are no travelling expenses and no extra living costs, you may find online education to be a much more financially viable options.




  


Situation
In this new era, this learning had been implement in our country especially in institution educational such as University Malaya, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, University Putra Malaysia and many mores. It is very good way of learning but there still has the cons, like example when the students can't afford to have their own internet service and therefore those students will have difficulties to online learning. How about you guys? What is your opinion about this learning and Electronic Campus?
