First meeting (copy)
I do not know what happened, but I could not find my first copy is. It is not shown!! So this in a duplicated one.
• Overview of the School of Nursing, Chiangmai University, Chiangmai, Thailand.
The School of Nursing is a large organization consisting of 164 full-time faculty members, and 130 full-time academic support staff. The school is divided into eight departments, and there are 1,300 students, both undergraduate and graduate, studying in three national undergraduate programs, 11 national graduate programs and in one international program each for undergraduate, masters and doctoral degrees. The school is under the control of the Ministry of Education, so it is high on formalization.
The school has a Computer Service Center available for students and faculty members, which offers word-processing and on-line facilities, research programs, and training to ensure up-to-date competence in all computer-based applications. The Center, which is composed of four IT staff, is responsible for maintaining the computers throughout the faculty, and is connected to the main University network for research and communications. About 163 computers in computer laboratories are provided to students. Every computer has been connected each other via LAN.
The website of the school is http://www.nurse.cmu.ac.th/webeng/index.html
• Today I have learned about Blog. In the past I just knew the definition of it, but now I am going to use it. That would be great!
• What does this following address tell us? http://www.nurse.cmu.ac.th/plan/webthai/en/index.asp
1. index htm tells about homepage.
2. en is a file in folder named webthai.
3. webthai is a folder in folder named plan.
• I am going to figure out what kind of methods that the school has used to make online course. How do they deliver their curriculum? How do they transfer web files to a server? However there are several means to transfer:
1. Using code: only programmers could do that.
2. Using some software such as Dream weaver, Front page, Golive, Flash
3. Portal/ Form to fill out: fill your contents in a template.
4. Enterprise system: it is like blackboard.
I found out that the school use ATutor to deliver online course. ATutor is an open source web-based learning content mamagement system (LCMS) designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind. Is it some types of portal/form to fill out?
CAI is a Computer Assisted Instrction. It is an offline, not online.
