Edublogs for teachers

Besides WordPress, blogspot, teachers can use wiki, ning, podcast and several other tools to enhance their teaching.  For teachers who want to create & manage student & teacher blogs, quickly customize designs and include videos, photos & podcasts – try some tools at  edublogs.org; it’s safe, easy and secure.

Basically, edublogs.org uses WordPress engine to customize the site for teachers’ needs. If you are familiar with WordPress engine, you should be able to use the tools in edublogs.org. I have been using WordPress.com for my own course since 2009. My latest teaching blog is http://skbi6133c.wordpress.com 

Several educational institutions are using the tools in edublogs.org

Check your grammar and check for plagiarism
Each section in a research proposal or thesis requires certain conventions that we need to prepare. We also need to know the structure of the content, the flow of the arguments, and level of adequacy for the content in each section. The amount of the content may vary from one research another and the length of the paper too may vary from one study to another. However, there are certain expectations that you need to meet. Examples:
  • A research proposal for MA or Ph.D.15-30 pages
  • Undergraduate thesis 90-150 pages
  • MA thesis 180-250 pages
  • Ph.D. thesis 250-400 pages
  • In general, a thesis will have 5 chapters. However, depending on the nature of the research, a thesis may have 6 or 7 chapters
Different universities may have different formats in terms of main headings and sub headings, numbering system, and referencing format. Consult our own university graduate school’s requirement for the correct format.

Congratulations to Aumia Saied Mohamad  Abdal Gader from Libya. She had completed her Master of Arts in English Language Studies in March this year. She is now preparing herself to pursue a Ph.D. soon.

Besides Aumia, there are two other MA students, Hisain Mohammed Elzaalouk from Libya ( Dec 2010) and Mohamad Yahya Abdullah (May 2011) from Iraq,  who had completed their theses under my supervision at the School of Language Studies and Linguistics,  Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities.

Unfortunately they could not join us at UKM Convo this year. They had to go back to their home countries to continue their work services and to meet their families after they submitted their MA theses.

Congratulations also to both Hisain from Libya and Mohamad  from Iraq.

Wishing all of you all the best with your future undertakings.
