The longer the wait, the more anxious I become on whether the movie will finally get sponsors and approvals from relevant authorities. And I do need a strong nod from the PM himself for this movie project. I just hope that the last one year (of course plus the money) invested for this movie project has not been wasted. Well, on a positive side I have at least made new friends and gained new experiences. I had more in my mind when I first thought of writing the movie and to be frank I was looking to make some money out of it. Insya’Allah, I hope Allah S.W.T will make my dreams come true. Amin.

I reckon that there should be learning 1.0 and 2.0 before learning 3.0. In order for me to have an idea of what learning 3.0 is all about,  first I have to find out what learning 1.0 and 2.0 are.

Well, learning 1.0 is the pioneer step in applying information technology into learning. This is the period when exploiting information technology into learning was only available to fortunate few.

We have advanced far since learning 1.0. Learning 2.0 is synonymous to the use of collaborative learning or social media such as Twitter, Facebook and Youtube. Users also have the opportunity to experience multimedia by way of voice, video, and text generated content. This is where we are currently. All over, we can see people form all walks of life carrying their laptops or PDA to get connected to places offering wi-fi and hot-spot services. That being said, the poor availability of internet connection serves as a big hindrance to realizing learning 2.0.

Learning 3.0 is a step ahead where learners will make use of the ubiquitous nature of handheld devices.  Handheld devices (smartphones, tablet PC) have been made more affordable and equipped with much more features these past few years. This observation combined with the availability of the internet almost everywhere provide a strong platform for learning 3,0 to take place. Sharing of information has never been made so easy and affordable.

Learning 3.0 does has its disadvantage.  Issue of information reliability should be addressed properly as virtually anyone can post information and opinion over the internet without any censorship. The use of mislead information can hace dangerous consequences in the future. Communication between students and teachers are also limited to communication using artificial interfaces. This can raise the issue regarding development of one’s communication skills and soft skills.
