Practical 8&9 Reflection

a.    Update your blog with magical pictures from the multimedia website and Second Life screen captures of your Dream Holiday destinations

b.    Which evaluation criteria did you use to evaluate the multimedia websites for your “Dream Holiday”? Why?

c.    Why did you choose to go to your Dream Holiday destination.

d.    Compare your virtual Second Life experience with that of evaluating the multimedia websites for your Dream Holiday

a)                               Screenshot of japan website

                              

 Screenshot of second life Japan dream kenchin. I couldn't find tokyo so i just go to 1 part of the japan in second to take screenshot to show how japan environment is look like.

                                

b)I used the purpose, coverage, currency and accuracy. It is because it is important to have all this. Thus, will be consider as a  good website. With the criteria currency, it is important to tell the audience the up-to-date information about the japan but not the past year thing. It website also must know the purpose of why they want to create website for people to visit. How big the content will they cover for audience for them to understand well. Well accuracy also important they should put accurate information but not inaccurate information that will mislead the audience.

c)To get to experience the country that i had always wanted to go to. Furthermore, to see how it looks like and buy some thing that i will not be able to buy in singapore. One of the thing that influence me to like japan is the anime which i like it very much.

d)I think both of them have their pros and cons. For second life, we get to go to the destination that look almost the same as the places will make us feel like we have really go there before that kind of feeling. But just looking at those places we can't know much about japan. While the website we can look for alot of information about the japan but we cannot get the same feel as the second life experience that we feel like we are at there before

A.    Do you think it is more effective to search the invisible web (databases) than using search engines, meta-search or subject directories? Why?

Yes, i think it is more effective to search the database as database has more authoritative source and more reliable while search engine not able to do so. Next, it is that many of them are maintain by the government agency and non-profit organization thus it has mroe accurate information than those who search through search engine which is written by others. Next, We can search even more details than others search search as we can search its year, language and more....

B.    Name ONE database which you will use for your research topic. Why?

one of the database that  i will use for my research topic is the LexisNexis as it can search through singapore newspaper(Straits Times) that it is official and accurate information. So that i don't have to worry my information is inaccurate/fake information.

C.    Name ONE more database which you will use for your course. How will you use this database for your course?

Another database that i will use for my course will be school database Newslink. I will use this to search for my information for others module such as CMSK3 Report. Because everytime we finish use the website as reference for this report. We have to write the referecing list/Bibliography so that we would not be taken as plagarism. Thus, i need to have the those author name, year publish and title. So i can easily find it on the article that i use the database to search for. While if i use search engine to search for my information. It always not able to find any information about the author name, title and year publish.
