To commence that the semester has finally reached its closure, we were supposed to work on a video as well as another formal presentation on our report, based on the topic 'Computer & Internet Security/ Original & Licensed Software'. 

There were several software recommended by Dr. Fariza to create a video, e.g. Powtoon etc; however we decided to go for Videoscibe. The features in this particular software were pretty much similar to the former one, but its simplicity and the sense of liberty it gave attracted us to give it a shot. Besides, we also had the slides prepared before the actual day of presentation.

Unfortunately, on the big day itself, Dr. Fariza was called out for an urgent meeting with the Faculty Dean, therefore our last session with her was 'cancelled'. In order to make way for proper presentation to take place after all of the hard work, Dr. Fariza had introduced us to Present.me to us whereby we could still have our presentation ( a virtual one ) regardless of the location and whereabouts. 

We definitely had fun trying out all of these applications in Web 2.0. I would like to grab this opportunity to thank Dr. Fariza , for her guidance throughout this semester. I am certain enough to say that I learned new things during her classes. With her motherly warmth and funky personality, I never felt out of place each time. 

Thank you Dr. Fariza <3

Greetings!

In today’s class, we had our hands on Microsoft Excel! No more messy timetables or crazy name list of 50 students with their marks for ten subjects got exchanged along the way.

Definitely one of the quickest way to tabulate your data.

We also learned some tricks to calculate the sum of the marks for each student and how to grade these fourty students simultaneously and swiftly. Apart from that, we also gained new knowledge on how to represent our data into the form of charts.

Check out on my Excel in the Assignment thread!

Thank you.

Assalamualaikum.

Following the progress of the previous assignments, it seemed like some of us have encountered a few complications especially on the formal report. In today’s session, Dr. Fariza has willingly agreed to coach us personally on the writing format herself. During our discussion with her, my team mate and I asked several questions regarding the detailing of our writing as well as the organization of the report.

Soon after, we did some readings through online journals and articles to gain an in-depth knowledge on our topic.

That’s all from me.

Thank you.

Hola! (that’s hello in Spanish)

Today’s highlight was the five basic elements in multimedia. They are; TEXT, GRAPHIC, AUDIO, VIDEO AND ANIMATION. As mentioned by Dr. Fariza, it is vital to consider all of these aspects when it comes to delivering your message when using multimedia.

·         TEXT will help you to get your message across and to help you to clear the confusion of your audience (if there is any).

·         GRAPHICS AND ANIMATION will enhance the quality of enjoyment throughout your presentation as well as to capture your audience’s attention.

·         VIDEO might help you to summarize or even speeds up the whole content and,

·         AUDIO would add in the sense of emotion and liveliness into your presentation.

Besides, Dr. Fariza has given us a quick look on the final assignment, which will be a video. Therefore, she requested us to apply this particular principle while producing the video.

It has been an interesting session today.

Thank you.

Greetings, fellow Earthlings!

I hope all of you are enjoying life as much as I did.  College life is challenging but hey, good things don’t come easy right? J

Okay, let’s get back to business. A not-so-new-but-still-new-to-me kind of discovery just took place in the computer class; DESKTOP PUBLISHING. These two words are closely related to the word ‘BROCHURE’, if I might add.

To be honest, that was my first time to actually explore what DESKTOP PUBLISHER was all about and I was so thankful I did (credits to Microsoft). Dr. Fariza once again has given us the liberty to summon our creative spirits up and make use of self-preferred templates for our brochure. Still remaining loyal to the previous topic, Licensed and Original Software/Internet and Computer Security, it is time to test our ability to fit the whole topic into a blank A4-sized paper interestingly. When you have lots of things to say, it was hard to keep things simple. However, I would like to take it as a challenge.

LESS IS MORE. Let’s get going, people!

Lots of love.
