Students have created their very first personal EIR Blogs. Its amazing to see students' enthusiatic efforts at creating beautifully designed Blogs complete with meaningful reflections of their initial EIR experiences.

The Design Block 6 students (1-month package) had gone deeper into EIR as compared to the semester batch of students (3-month package). They had gone on an online shopping spree for their favourite items, evaluated different search facilities and even had a great time laughing at the hilarious jokes, videos, articles in the talkingcock.com websited as they evaluated it this morning.

Wonderful work guys! Keep it up and stay tune for more fun activities!

The EIR Journey has just begun. This Oct 08 Semester marks the launch of the new EIR syllabus for the pioneering batch of students who opted to study this module.

After months of work developing this subject (err...of course after balancing tonnes of other work), I can now heave a great sense of relief with the full run of EIR commencing this Oct 08 Semester. Interestingly EIR is concurrently run as a 1-month and a 3-month packages offered to different batches of students.

It is heartening to note students' warm reception to the new EIR curriculum as evident from their active class participation, enthuasism and dedication in completing their practical activities. I can already anticipate that there's going to be a lot of fun learning of EIR together with my wonderful students as we journey together through the incredibly awesome and amazing Internet world!

Dear Students,

Welcome to the EIR Blog!

EIR allows you to create your own Blog so that you can document and reflect on the lessons learnt and meaningful exciting experiences throughout your EIR journey.

Weblogs or personal blogs is a simple online journal that contains stories, links and your commentary about topics of your choice. Weblogs are easy to design and maintain.
You will create a personal blog that provides information about yourself, including your academic and personal interests.

Here's how you can start :
1) use a free blog hosting service and follow the directions to develop your personal site.
2) tell us about yourself (diploma, family, hobbies, etc).
3) using any search facility, find 2 exciting websites that are particularly interesting to you.
4) add links to these websites in your Blog, together with a brief description and commentary.
5) once your blog is up and running, go to the OLE discussion board forum and add a thread to post the URL for your weblog to enable your fellow classmates to visit and get to know you better.
6) remember to update your weblog weekly by adding additional links and commentary.

All the best in your Blogging experience.
