This padlet wall is created to collect feedback of students on blending learning.

Blended learning includes the following activities:

1. Rewind (lecture capture)

2. Online tutorial

3. Online quiz

4. Online game

5. Bring your own device (BYOD). For example, searching for information via website during tutorial

Blended learning was one of the useful tool by allowing me to learn more in advance that could not be found in textbook for instance like online game or video watching. Rewind was not really helpful because in introduction to international business module does not have any audio recording, thus, we could not hear anything from it. So far, I think online game and video watching are the most effective activities that attract me to participate more in learning process.

To me, Rewind is useful if we missed any lecture class, BUT this is only if the recording is available. Online tutorial is not so effective, personally I would prefer normal tutorial class. Online quiz is good, flexible for students, as most of the time, they will provide certain time period for us to do the test, so students can do the online quiz anytime they like as long as its within the period set. Online game is a must, to better capture students attentions and stimulate their interests towards the topics taught, at the same time, students can learn better when they are in good mood, I believe. I always enjoyed the online game session very much. BYOD depends, if its small gadget like phones, ipads then it is Ok, somehow it is a bit inconvenient and heavy for me when it comes to carry my laptop. Video watching is effective to me too.

I enjoyed the module immensely. Rewind was a godsend, as I only had that one class in the middle of the day (when traffic and parking was a major hassle) so it allowed me to keep up to date with the module even though I wasn't physically present. BYOD and the interactive learning we had in class was a lot of fun, and I picked up on a lot of the practical usage of the module content. However, I feel that I'll have to work a bit harder to get up to speed with the theory part of the module as I am more comfortable with the case application that we did in class. All in all, I think that the way this module was structured taught me a lot without it feeling like I was cramming everything into my head, and it also helped me develop relationships in class through the roleplaying and team assignments.

In my opinion, the rewind lecture will be better if there is recording together. If we

missed one of the lecture or wanted to rewind the topic that we do not understand,

it will be troublesome when the lecture recording got no sound. And for all the online

activities such as tutorial, quiz...there are always good and bad side of it. It is more

Rewind lecture is useful when i had to miss certain lectures and when i could not catch up with the speed. However, it is very frustrating as somethimes there are no sound or when the lectures are not recorded. It is not consistent and this decrease the reliability of students on the rewind lecture capture.

Online tutorials are not really useful i my opinion because when we have problems, we cannot ask and clarify with tutors on the spot and most students don't really do their online tutorials, they either forgets or copy from others, i still prefer face-to-face tutorials rather than online tutorials.

Online quizzes are somewhat effective because through these quizzes, i get to learn and find out mostly about the theory parts but if a student just copy the answers from their friends online quizzes are just a waste of time.

Online games are fun and interesting as it is a GAME. Through the game, i learn how to make decisions, what risk we may face in the real world and etc. It is a new experience for me and it makes learning fun.

BYOD and video watching is quite effective as i can learn about the topics taught through real examples so its interesting and informative. :)

In my opinion, rewind lecture is indeed beneficial to me. This is because there are times where unforeseen circumstances will occur and we have no choice but to miss that specific lecture. What rewind does is to allow us to look back at that specific lecture conducted during that period of time. This will help us from not missing out any topic and causing troubles to our lecturers.

X-Space is a one of a kind classroom that enhances our learning experiences even better. X-Space has given me the opportunities to not only interact with students like in normal tutorial classes but also the ability to interact with the tutors. It is designed in a way where students are placed face to face with 6 students to a table. It is designed to help increase the communication skills between students and tutors which from there enable everyone to develop interpersonal skills. With each white board and television assigned to each table, students are required to take turns to present a specific topic or question in the class itself. How technologically equipped the classroom is also plays a factor in enhancing our learning experience. It is because we are able to concentrate in classes better as all of us currently live in a world where everyone is tech-savvy. Besides that, I am able to understand better and more in depth on topics because the X-Space enables us to share ideas with one another which will provide us a wider and better understanding.

Blended learning is really effective for me as i do do anything at home and sometime if i have some emergency thing and need to go back to my hometown,but i still can keep in touch witb the information that given by out lectures and tutors.

Besides,the thing that i feel useful is our tutor always give us the chance for us to interact with other classmate,and this have make the class become more interesting and i am not easy feel bore

Blended learning is very effective for me to study better and better understanding of the subject . For example, rewind system does help me to recap any information or important tips that I have missed. Another system that I would like to mentioned about it is BYOD learning system, I could search the information that I want after I have learned from the session. However, the only thing that I think it is not very effective for my study is online tutorial / quiz. I can't understand by myself without the explanation of tutor and also I feel that I may not be develop self- discipline to finish the online tutorial question.

2. Some of the activities that I think is very useful is group discussion and tutorial question. I find it very useful because I can develop problem solving skill and it also can improve my communication skill when I went through the conversation between my group mate.

In my opinion, I find that Rewind is very useful in my learning process. It is because we can rewind the lecture when we couldn’t attend a lecture or maybe when we are not clear about the particular topic. However, the rewind system always has technical problems causing the lectures not being recorded.

X-Space collaborative classroom is a classroom that doesn't follow the traditional teaching method but unique in its own way. In this classroom, the tutors normally will give us group work such as discussion and we can exchange ideas among our group members and work together to complete the task given. This will help in enhancing my interpersonal skills as I can learn to communicate better within a group. In addition, with the technology provided in this classroom, students will get motivated and become more engaged in the class, as all of us are tech-savvy. Furthermore, we get to share our findings with the rest of the students by connecting our laptops to the projector and show it on the television allocated around the classroom. We can discuss the findings together with the whole class and determine the mistakes if there is any.

One of the greatest experiences of X-space collaborative classroom is that it provides the flexible proper learning spaces to smoothen the learning process in a highly cooperative and engaging manner. The environment of classroom that I experienced was totally different from the old traditional classroom whereby this modern and classy classroom has allowed me to study in a more flexible manner. Despite the old way of teaching, this newly collaborative classroom allows each student to pay full attention because there are televisions located at various angle of the classroom whereby students can’t afford to miss a glimpse at it.

I think Rewind is very useful when I want to check on the points which I miss out in lecture. I still prefer face to face tutorial class rather than online tutorial although it's quite nice to be able to skip uni once in awhile. I like the idea of online quiz (especially when no marks are counted), because I can test on my knowledge regarding this module. I think the idea of playing games in class is interesting and fun, but the game (farm game) itself does not make much sense to the topic as regardless what upgrade we chose we still get to survive. The idea of searching information during tutorial is good, but it does not necessary to carry out with digital device. I like video watching for tutorial/lecture, especially the advertisement because I think this is highly related to my major.

In my opinion, rewind lecture is useful for me if i had miss the lecture and also can recap what lecturers have taught. Sometimes, lecturers are too fast to explain the topic and i could not catch it, Rewind is the best software for me. Besides, online tutorial and online quiz are not useful for me because we can online search the answers, copy and paste it and submit. This is not a good learning ways for me. However, online game is the learning way that I most enjoy, it not only for learning but also have fun with it and it have the motivation for me to learn. In addition, BYOD is useful in class when search for addition information.

manmeet210 — 2014-06-17 02:06:47 UTC

I like the concept of X-Space as it encourages more hands-on and discussion. i learn better through peer discussions

manmeet210 — 2014-06-17 02:08:32 UTC

BYOD and X-space is a good concept as it encourages empowerment among students and be responsible in a controlled environment. BYOD- using own devise to search for information and using educational software like padlet and socrative in class is a modern and interactive method of learning and gaining knowledge.

tutors should look up for more interactive websites and software to be used in the future.

In my opinion, rewind lecture help student a lot in learning process especially during the exam time. This is because, it can help student to access to previous lecture which was explained early in the semester. And it can help student to gain any missing point that the student did not able to catch before.

X-space is one new classroom concept that aim to help student to undergo better learning processes. X-space has given me to interact with all the student in the class with the help of monitor for every tables. It was designed for 6 people in one table and interact face to face which could enhance the communication skill of the student. And also with the help of monitor, student then should present to the class about their discussion by putting it in the monitor to show to the classmate. This concept can help student as it can help student to concentrate more in technology based know how as today's technology is consider advance. X-space concept also can increase the chances for sharing idea with each other, so the chances for gain more information and understanding also will be enhanced.

To me, I think that rewind was so awesome because if I missed any lecture class then I would have another chance to rewind again (It will be better if there is recording together). In addition, it also helps us when we start to revise for finals, it will be another chance for me to rewind. So, rewind is definitely a must for me as I have to admit that I am a slow learner too. Well, there are pros and cons for online tutorial, quiz and etc. But for me, I would prefer face to face tutorial because if I do not understand anything then I am able to ask straight away. For quiz, it will be a good one if the quiz is to help me recall back what we learned but I would prefer that there's no mark for that and just an extra activity during the class. Online games was fun, although it's just a game but it taught me patience and how to take risk. I would conclude that this module taught me a lot although most of the time I have to ask my friends and tutor because I don't really understand most of the time. But, I'm glad that my tutor and friends are really willing to help me in every way.

In my opinion, the Rewind is the most effective type of blended learning because it make me able to capture back any important point that I had missed during the lecture. When I still not really clear about some lecture, I still can refer back to the Rewind until I can fully understand about it.

1) the rewind lecture is helpful, as, whenever i missed out on a point during lecture, I can just rewind it which makes it convenient.

2) the online game that we played during IIB class, was fun, although we did not know how can it be related to the module, till the tutor explained to us.

3) video watching during tutorial is fun, this makes the class more interesting.

4) the online tutorials and quiz is rather good , as it can be done within minutes and we do not need to rush for class.

5) the x-space classroom has round tables which enables the students sitting at the same table to face their classmates. this can help students to start making friends with their classmates and get to know more people.
