Session 1, Activity 2----Individual introduction and something about this moodle

By Andy, QUAN Xuhui
=========================================

Hello, everyone, my name is Quan Xuhui and you can call me Andy.
I am a mainland student from Zhejiang. My undergraduate major is information management and information system. Before I went to HKU I had worked in the bank of communication for a short time as a fulltime staff. Why I quit office is that I find further study can provide me more development space in future. Apart from study, I also like do some sports game, especially tennis.

Teaching and learning with IT is a tendency in education development. Traditional teaching methods is based on the teacher, the transmission of knowledge mainly by teachers to educate students, as a student, the teaching process from begin to end always in a passive state, their initiative and enthusiasm is difficult to develop, and weaken the divergent thinking , critical thinking and creative thinking of the student. But using IT in T&L can make the student to be the center of the course. Teacher seems like a guide that who give some recommendations when students face with the problem.

In this module and program, I want to learn:
1. How IT can use in daily study, and teacher how to use the advanced technology;
2. How to design the computer and multimedia teaching and learning environment according to the teaching objectives;
3. How to display teaching content in a multimedia way;
4. How to remember the teaching content, because forget is the top problem of learning;
5. In which way let the student to think dependently and have they own idea.

Overall, the new teaching model (T&L in IT) is different from the traditional teaching model, characterized by: teacher changes his role from imparting knowledge to organize activities of learning; student changes from passive recipients of knowledge into active exploration discoverer; I think this is the purpose of the ITE.
