Hi everyone! So, for week 3 Madam Azida taught us 2 things which are Search Engine/Online Database and CMS & ESL as we attended 2 classes in the week. Now, I'm going to explain what I've learnt for the 2 topics. Let's get started!
Firstly, Search Engine is a web tool that allows users to enter keywords and find information on websites contained in its database while Online Database is a computer application that is delivered from the Internet that stores and organizes data to make it accessible to the user.
These are the examples of Search Engine
Parts of Search Engine:
Database - a storage where all indexed webpages are stored. It contains only essential
information of a webpage.
Web-Crawlers - an automated programme/bot. It crawls all over the Web Page by typing
keywords such as titles, synonyms and many more.
User Interface - user-friendly apps/site/page where users may input query and search
result are presented.
Information Retrieved System - system used to match the user's query to indexed
webpages found in database.
In addition, there are some search engine that are specialized to search for a specific area and its database only stores webpages relevant to a specific field. For examples, Google Scholar, Education World and also Art Cyclopedia. Other than that, there is meta search engine which is search engine that matches the user's query to multiple search engine such as Metacrawler, Savvy Search and Dogpile. Now you know more about web tool so what are you waiting for? Go and try all of them!
Apart from that, I also learnt about CMC & ESL. So, CMC is an abbreviation of Computer Mediated Communication which means any form of communication/interaction between two or more people via separate computer medium networking. CMC in education started in late 80s & 90s with the introduction of Communicative CALL. It become wide through email and forums. CMC can be categorized into 2 types which are Asynchronous and Synchronous.
Asynchronous - it is not synchronised because the messages not exchange and replied
immediately such as emails.
Synchronous - it is synchronised as the messages can exchange and replied immediately
because it allows direct communication such as chat room and also
video/audio.
I know that some people would love to learn something that they interested in but there might be some problems that make them cannot continue their wants. Now, you don't have to worry anymore because you can just learn anything that you want from your home! There are lots of courses that provided in the web and video that you can watch and learn just from there. Here i attached the links https://www.openlearning.com/
I think that's all for this week. I hope you guys learn something from my blog. Till next time peeps!
xoxo, N 💜
