Reflection : Tutorial Task Week 7

For this week task, we need to develop a Digital Language Learning Material (DLLM). The DLLM can involve the use of any type of digital media. Videos, audio and even pictures can use as a DLLM. We need to sketch out a digital language learning material interface and explain our concept using the information we have read. The DLLM can either be thematic based or language form based.

We decided to use ‘Prezi ‘ as our canvas. We found Prezi is a versatile tool. It can be exploited in many ways to create a DLLM not only for presentation. Everyone can use Prezi as long as they are connected to the internet or downloaded the desktop version of it. At first it might seem a bit complex to use Prezi but once you have tried to use it you will find it easy to use and also user friendly. It really helps to create a unique and interesting DLLM.

We use the Prezi to create a guided collaborative narration. This material aims to provide guidance on writing a narrative essay. It is suitable to be use in pre-writing stage as a supplement activity. In the activity, learners are required to write a storyline by choosing several items in each check points. At each checkpoint the users will be provided with a choice. The learners have to choose one of the listed option. The items will be the characters, the setting, the object involve and the genre of their story. They have to include each item in their narration.
