I wish all of my readers a VERY VERY HAPPY EID MUBARAK.

Chat room....

Alsalamoalikom,
First of all I would like to say to Prof. Norizan, Prof Supyan and all of you my classmate Eid Mubarak. Actually, I want to share with you these information about what is chatroom, its uses and its benefits.Also, my point of view that chat room is useful method in learning and teaching process in this era of technology and modernalization.

Chat Rooms

A chat room is a space where a group of writers meet to carry on conversation. Unlike discussion forums that allow a writer time to compose his/her thoughts, chat rooms demand a writer's constant attention to a thread of ongoing discussion (much like a conversation) . Instructors use chat rooms mainly to engage students' thoughts on a topic, and to generate ideas for writing. While chat rooms typically do not lend themselves to polished writing, they encourage participation and can aid in the development of ideas.

Chat Room Uses

• Generate ideas for writing at the beginning of a unit.
• Start a discussion centered on the main ideas from an assigned reading.
• Print out a thread of conversation and use it to discuss the rhetorical situation - context, audience, and purpose. Use this discussion to help students understand how various cultural contexts shape writing.
• Compare how audience awareness shapes writing.

Chat Room Benefits

• Students are more inclined to participate since the context is less formal
• Many students are already familiar with chat and use it for recreational purposes
• Chat generates a lot of writing (although students tend not to recognize this medium as producing "real writing" - still you might use this opportunity to talk about what "real writing is" and why it's viewed as more valid than informal writing)
• Chat can generate ideas which may not arise during a classroom discussion.

The differences between e-learning and E-learning...

Alsalamoalikom, I would like to share all of you about the differences between e-learning and E-learning.
There some differences between e-learning and E-learning. First of all, e-learning is the use of technology to enhance learning anytime and anywhere. The terms "e-learning," "distance learning," "web-based learning" and "online learning" are often used interchangeably. e-learning is more focuses into three main points which are asynchronous e-learning, synchronous e-learning and the development and management. It is worth to say that e-Learning just like traditional classroom experience as it leads to comprehension and mastery of new knowledge.
On the other hand, E-learning is emphasizing on online courses. E-learning is an electronic means which used to deliver a learning, training or education program. E-learning involves the use of a computer or electronic device in order to provide training, educational or learning material.
Thus, it seems that the difference between e-learning and E-learning is in terms of function where e-learning focuses more on learning aspect while E-learning focuses on the medium of training for distance learners.
