To know a little more about my ambitions, you may want to read the blog in full.  In order to answer the question, let me give a little background on my answer. The Right to Education is legally guaranteed for all without any discrimination by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948). Unfortunately, many nations have failed to comply with their obligations. Even though there is an excellent aspiration for learning and education, unfortunately, these nations' general population is not aware that their respective governments are responsible for taki...

  With respect to the various types of technologies involved in the development of digital games, which seem to be experiencing the highest degree of innovation and change? Which technologies are likely to shape the experience of gameplay in the near future and what can we expect to see in relation to how games are used in teaching and learning? T he word gamification may have only received its name in 2002, but the practice of making everyday tasks fun by making them game-like has been around for millennia. The word “gamification” has emerged in recent years as a way to describe interactive online design techniques where designers insert gameplay elements in non-gaming settings so as to enhance user engagement with a product, service or educational activity. Gamification, as a 21st-century phenomenon is a powerful tool for designers to drive user engagement for several reasons. Firstly, you use it to inject fun elements into applications and systems that might otherwise lack immed...

  The environment in which a student is most likely to thrive depends on the individual's study preferences and habits. Older students like I am, prefer face-to-face learning environments because they are already familiar with that style of learning from ages. Face-to-face learning is the more traditional way of instruction, where students and teachers attend an in-person session at the same time. The instructor leads the class, and usually, students are passively learning. The debate about the superiority of online learning has been going on since the eighties. However, proponents of face to face learning argue that it lends a hand in organizing students and their studies. They also reason that a F2F offers an effective way to learn knowledge and skills because it often combines different learning methods, including writing, reading, discussion, presentations, projects, group work, demonstration, and practice. One of the learning process's key elements is the dynamic relatio...

  My Passion, My Vision, My Plans  I wonder if I am going to succeed? For a  scholar  or doctoral student, research is to challenge beyond the classroom environment. By research, we learn new things, pursue a new horizon, find gaps in the current research, and postulate different field approaches. In my study framework, to make it more understandable, I may have to give a little background that would provide elaborative reasons for my research.  My life was going on fine as a senior enterprise engineer at Microsoft when I was struck with cancer. Ie ended up in the hospital for a very long time and was let go from my position since that senior position could not be vacant for a long time. Laying down in the hospital bed and thinking along long nights, I told myself that I would become a doctor and help those who were suffering like me if I survive. I survived and went to school to do my prerequisites for medical school. I have a degree in mechanical engineering, ...
