My Personal Learning Environment

 Hi, I am Arthur D. Ollanda, a Filipino with less than 40 of age. Living with my wife and 2 kids. I am a currently a class instruction and technology infrastructure supervisor in a reputable and pontifical university in the Philippines. My specialization is Data Communication and Networking and teaching this discipline for more than 10 years now. 

Today I am writing this blog as one of the requirements in my Graduate School and have to finish, otherwise, honestly I don't know what's gonna happens next, so help me God. 

I need to pursue my Post Grad, to have a passport, so that I could have a chance to pursue my career in teaching which I am connected with. It's quite difficult,  but I have to do this not just for my family but for the students who needed me most (I am not lifting my own chair right?). Kidding aside, well.... in our university, we are using an LMS to continue our teaching in this Pandemic period through the internet world.

It's quite difficult to teach in remote setting, yet we manage to deliver the necessary things to our students. We uploaded the course plan, learning materials and some reference that might help them to understand what is the course/s is all about and how does something to do in their future career.

I often meet my class during our scheduled session, see to it that they are doing the right thing in the course, however, there some issues and concerns with my students who's having a hard time to connect due to the poor internet connection(my goodness). With that some were not able to finished the tasks on time, yet I just practicing my compassion in this trying times to everyone.

Aside from being a class instructor, I also serve and assist the stakeholders of the university with their concerns and problem in the learning environment. I troubleshoot often the cases and some error that they've been experiencing and guide them on how to remediate those erroneous.

It's tough, but I am happy to serve them and giving me the opportunity to have some contribution in our community, not just an Educator, Technical individuals but a person who is willing to extend my helping hands.

Kudos to us. I will survive.

Art.

  Summary/descriptive type (in APA style) Morris, Erica J. (2018). Academic Integrity Matters: Five Considerations for Addressing Contract Cheating. Int J Educ Integr ISSN: 1833-2595 This commentary paper examines the issue of contract cheating in higher education, drawing on research and current debate in the field of academic integrity. Media coverage of this issue has reflected significant concerns in the field about students’ use of custom academic writing services, along with sector and national calls for action that would lead to making such essay mills illegal. However, recent studies have revealed the complex nature of contract cheating, with a relatively low proportion of students engaging in outsourcing behaviours involving a third party. This paper focuses on how universities and colleges can respond to this emergent concern, and proposes that institutions extend and establish strategies to embed the values, principles and practices aligned to academic integrity.

Use Citation Management Tool

Using the Citation Management Tool is helping me a lot to collect the related studies in my research. I never use this tool before until I got in this topic and worked well. It is easy to install the software tool as well as the plugins and no struggle at all. I learned that it's very easy to build your research paper with these tools. It could save a lot of working hours in using it compare from the traditional way of gathering citations. Definitely, I will use this in research papers soon. #LiDA101 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KQTbWN9tihb-zpiPFRXrzYZGYoU8Zvbg/view?usp=sharing
