MODULE 2 / WEEK 4 :- Goal Setting & Learning Management System

SETTING GOALS FOR THE NEW SEMESTER

Everyone in this world  have their own goal setting . This is because this goal setting is a goal that will helps us to achieve what is our desire. So as a university student we also have to make our own goals setting  because it also can be  a source of our motivation.

To be both useful and motivating, the goals you set must have some important characteristics:

1. Goals should be self-chosen

2. Goals should be moderately challenging

3. Goals should be realistic

4. Goals should be measurable

5. Goals should be specific

6. Goals should be finite

7. Goals should be positive

·         ACADEMIC AND PERSONAL GOALS..

This is a very important topic that may lead to an interesting discussion. Students need to be informed about the importance and how the priorities should be set from scratch. They need to be conscious of what they do at universities like the course they are taking and the end of their lives after completing their diploma.

v  USING THE LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LMS)

Learning Management System (LMS) is a software application that allows instructors to create, document, track, report and deliver courses to students. Additionally, it helps the instructors to deliver material to the students, administer tests and other assignments, track student progress, and manage record-keeping. In UiTM, the Learning Management System (LMS) is called i-Learn. i-Learn aims to help students increase the skills of technology use, and improve knowledge acquisition and information sharing.

ACCESSING I-LEARN

i-Learn can be accessed at: http://i-learn.uitm.edu.my/v2/ OR http://i-learn.uitm.edu.my/v3/home/
