Journal 10: Creating Courseware using Smart Builder

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone 😊. So how was your day?  I hope everyone enjoy their weekends. Tonight I will keep on updating my blog to share my experience. But for this entry I am going to talk about my second assignment which is Courseware. Anyone know what Courseware really is? I believed some of you might know,  some of you might not know it or never heard before,  right? It's okay, let me tell you what is Courseware actually. Courseware is a computer program or other material designed for use in an educational or training course. For example:game.

Before I started to share with you how I managed to complete my second assignment, let me tell you all the requirements:

1. It is a group work (like educational video)

2. All students required to create their own courseware and need to choose one target learners before start creating the courseware. You can choose your own topic.

3. You can use any application or software (suggested to use Smart Builder).

4. Upload your courseware in this blog http://intechelt2.blogspot.my/?m=1

5. You must have written report regarding your courseware and submit it after you have upload your courseware online.

6. You are given few weeks to finish it.

These are the requirements and now let's get started.

Since this is a group work,  I sticked with my previous groupmates, Afiqah and Amni. Like previous assignment, before start doing anything,  a discussion among group members is a must! So we discussed about what topic we going to use for this assignment and who is our target learners. We cannot simply create a courseware without knowing anything about our target learners. After few discussions we decided to choose a topic entitle "Pet's World" and our target learners are Year 2 students.

This is our overview for our courseware 

After have all informations we stared creating our courseware. As been suggested by Madam Azida,  we used Smart Builder application to create it. Here's the link to go Smart Builder

Like Pawtoon, this is much more harder. This time we need to create a game!  Our own game! Like seriously? We also did not believed it when Madam Azida assigned us to create a game. We are in a big trouble this time. We are language students and we need to create a game!  That is so impossible to do! But we have no choice. But luckily Madam Azida helped and guided us through out the time on creating this game.

When I think back my first response when I was assigned with this task,  it made my laugh burst out. I was freaking shocked at that time and I cannot accept it. It took few days for me to calm down and start doing this task. Alhamdulilah everything went well and create a game is simple. I am not going to show off or anything but seriously it was easy (when I knew everything). I became addicted to work more on it and I felt something wrong if I would not be able to finish it. As for beginners like us,  it took about 2 weeks for three of us to finish creating our game. Maybe later when I master it, I could finish it in a week. Who knows right?  Seriously you should try create your own game because you will feel satisfy when you publish it online and people keep on playing it. Before I wrap everything, I just want say do not be like me!  Giving up before trying! You should try it first before give up. Once you tried it then you will know your level. So go to this application and create your own game. Do not underestimate yourself!  Be confident and be happy 😍💪
