Week 9 - Korean History 

November 18th 2017

I kind of afraid that I might not enjoy this session at the beginning but it turns out to be one of my favourite week! Brigadier Brian Parritt was the guest lecture and he was a part of British army who fight alongside South Korea for the war in 1953! I don’t actually realise that until he shown us the slides of his picture that he took during the war. And from a photographer myself (amateur one lol) it’s a really good picture! Every picture that he took has meaning and it just struck me, like literally. Plus he was so kind and nice, not just being a really good story teller, but also he wrote a book and signed it for all of us <3

The activity we did was watching a Korean War film. I watched the first hour and continue the rest at home. It’s called ‘The Front Line’. I personally love it as it’s a really funny film yet meaningful. Try to watch it when you have time!

Last week will be our last week and I prepare something for our graduation. If you by any chance follow this post of mine then you’re lucky to see this before anybody else (LOL!) I’ll post it on my next post so please look forward to it!

So yeah, that’s all for this week’s diary entry! Please look forward to my next week diary!

WEEK 9 - The Project

Although ninth week went fast, I was able to make some progress with my projects. Firstly, with regards to Moodle, there were two trainings left for admin users. Last Wednesday I met with Aloys Kagimbura (left) who is the Principal of the Liquidnet Family High School at ASYV, and with Christian Muhawenimana (right) who is the Instructional Coach for teachers and students. Both were amazingly excited about some of the features of the tool that we reviewed during the meeting: user creation, assigning admin privileges, adding courses and categories, assigning teacher and student roles to courses, viewing logs for teachers, and adding activities and resources to the courses. We also talked about specific recommendations that have to be implemented for the sustainability of the goal. As three teachers from the school were trained in the past weeks, each of them will have to digitize one of their courses for next term which is starting next week. We foresee good things with Moodle!

Secondly, I designed a Dashboard in Excel (please see image below) with real data collected from the recruitment app in Commcare. This information will be shared with individual departments. One cool feature about Commcare is that forms and surveys can be linked to manually-created Dashboards, and from Excel all one need to do is refresh the data; if there is new data it will be added automatically to the Excel sheet... until next week (last week!).
