I'm Oyinbooke Olanrewaju from Nigeria. It's been my passion to train younger ones specifically, primary and secondary school students in my country on programming and Analytics. I believe this is possible but I've not been able to get something done about it hence, this course finds its relevance.

This course is a great tool in my hand to accomplish much in my trainings. It's rewarding, engaging and case studies brings the concept and tools discussed closer than before.
The course has successfully added to my knowledge and I'm proud of this as part of my achievement since the year began.
Many thanks to the course developers, instructors, and...

Designing a curriculum for blended learning was an added knowledge this week.
Also, understanding various digital assessment tools and their merits shows how trainers can be relieved of feedback workloads and many other benefits to the learners
-
Students sometimes feel shy to engage in classrooms discussion but are very active in online discussion forum.
Those who couldn't make a comment can still learn from others.
Finally, the discussion page is accessible all the time to go through other learners comments. -

Wow! I quite understand better the concept of flipped learning and its merits. It's really a proven way of increasing learning outcome.
-
Olanrewaju Charles Oyinbooke made a comment
As always, the questions do not only test our ability to identify and apply technological tools in assesment but also to know the advantages of each approach.
It makes me think more on the various digital assessment methods

The idea of e-portfolio is a great one. You get easy access to past work while it is always difficult with a printed copy as it can get torn, lost, incomplete etc over time.

Curriculum design is one important aspect to achieve the objectives of a training.
Designing curriculum for blended learning activities will surely need a guide and case studies which the coming week promises to unveil.This will actually help me to conceptualise all the ideas running through my head.
Looking forward to this great week!
Many thanks to... -

Building on the previous knowledge gained since the start of the course, I added a new knowledge seeing through case studies how I can actually incorporate blended learning tools.
Another thing I gained this week is Open Education Resources, I've never heard of it this way before. I'm more enlightened about it and I also see how I can in my own little way...

As prezi keeps reoccurring, I took a deeper thought on the possibilities of the tools and realised that it's more useful for me than ever thought of.
I can give an engaging and illustrative practical session class through its presentation feature as well as a trailer to last week or next week task. -
Olanrewaju Charles Oyinbooke made a comment
I really love the features offered by poll everywhere and Socrative. I only know of their possibilities, I never knew until now that these tools are really existing not to mention of them been an open source tools.
Loving the course the more!

I will surely follow this up.
Thanks for your response. -
Olanrewaju Charles Oyinbooke made a comment
As an independent trainer, I do not have a platform for VLE yet. But I have witnessed several courses that implements it of which I believe FutureLearn uses to organise this course.
This course will make me more closer to having one (VLE) although, might not be immediately as everything takes process -
This feature - Practise quizzes such as multiple choice questions can offer instant feedback and scoring.
I mean, will really be of help. First, willmaje my learner evaluate themselves while no one watches them.
The data generated from VLE to monitor progress as well is a real valuable feature for Tutor to make use of.
I love all these features..

I love the word "dirty" as used in the introductory video :). I'm actually ready to dip my hands into them.
Glad to be a participant in this course! -

First of all, the understanding of the theoretical basics of blended learning - pedagogical approaches, launched a deeper understanding into the need of the learners which will determine the way with which blended learning can be implemented.
The Audit test simply summarise the expected IT knowledge of an instructor who wants to use blended learning, you have... -

Over here in Nigeria, there are lots of challenges ranging from power failure, unaffordable internet connectivity, inadequate PCs, unequipped IT labs, lack of technical know-how and above all comfort zone biase. Several people are used to traditional teaching methods, suggesting blended learning will cause for opposition all because they lack the technical...

At the top of it! A case study is always presented to show that these are practicable skills that have been in use by several people with positive outputs.
Thus far, it's been a real exposure for me.
I'm learning! Yes, I'm learning! -
Olanrewaju Charles Oyinbooke made a comment
I can't keep my hands from commenting as the resources here are of great values.
I have no knowledge of all these links in the past but know, I know them! I will commit myself to maximising them to a more appreciable level in my area of training. -
Olanrewaju Charles Oyinbooke made a comment
This is where learning started - knowing "what you need to know". The audit questions actually does that. I as well have areas that I need to improve on.
Wait a minute, I saw something like VLE environment, I don't have anything like that around me here, I also totally don't know you can build on wikis for learners.Yeah! I think I got to work on these...

Building an online survey together and ask all of them to follow the link and fill the survey - after they've learnt theoretically, survey structure.

This is fascinating! Using Nearpod will surely improve creative thinking of my learners and increase their engagement.
I love the interactive features. It will make learning easy and simplified. They will quickly understand the basics and I can complement it with traditional teaching where necessary.
I'm gonna go for this app and learn how to use it. -

Ooh, now I see... Understanding the pedagogical approaches further guides the way blended learning could be implemented in out various vocational trainings.

I never knew it is called Blended learning! This is the summary of my experience in this first week of the course.
For past few years now, I think of incorporating ICT to teach and train, because of lack of exposure and needed ICT skills, I always ended up being helpless.
This course open me up to what it is called - Blended Learning. It stirred me up...

Olanrewaju Charles Oyinbooke made a comment
Having seen the advantages of blended learning, the technical know-how to effectively implement them is another key issue.
The VLE is a nice one, but being able to understand how to programme and set up such system as well as maintenance is one of the challenge in this line especially in the third world where there is limited internet access and few ICT...

Overcoming the problem of flexibility is one of the greatest achievement blended learning had.
Truly, it has helped not to be constrained by time and therefore makes life more productive -

As an upcoming statistician with passion to impact learners in the third world, I knew I was taught in my undergraduate with crude methods. We learnt Statistical programming without an indepth of the need for it. The class wasn't interactive enough and so we hardly internalise the skills.
I started thinking of better ways to train analyst and realised that...

To me, I believe there are some factors that actually interplay. I can't say entrepreneur are born rather, some men are born with some character (being an optimist as a result of temperament).

Safe the knowledge I've started gaining in this course.

Olanrewaju Charles Oyinbooke made a comment
The concept of probabilistic and non probabilistic sampling is well explained.
But,l believe non probabilistic sampling has a place where it's disadvantage does not affect it. Or is it that on no account, the results from a non probabilistic sampling cannot be generalised?
-
Olanrewaju Charles Oyinbooke made a comment
Very useful. If the total population is less than 40 and I collect data from all of them.
Is this not a survey?
-
Very interesting and enlightened! In my country Nigeria, almost all our survey are carried out through questionnaire administration yet, there are a lot of biases in respondents' responses even after putting into consideration the ABC of survey design.
Many at times you face the problem of non response. Your respondent will just feel somehow and refuse to...

Survey is also useful when we are dealing with destructive test e.g. when cooking soup, you cannot take the census (tasting everything till you finish the whole soup) rather you take a sample and make inference based on the sample.

Although I didn't get everything right in this video but it looks promising as I have started understanding the theoretical background behind shape modelling and why it is statistical (probabilistic concept).

Since we do not have this comparison over the same time period, therefore, we do not yet have a basis for comparison and our inference from this report will be invalid.

I strongly believe that there is a voice speaking through data.

-
Very interesting fact. But not just about "what" is there a proof of the "how" empirically and theoretically? How valid is this? Nevertheless, correlation does not implies causation. So having a relationship between the two variables, does it suggest that one causes the other or what?

The exercises work perfectly till scalar images, but after then none of the exercises gives visual result. I hope it wouldn't continue like this in week 2.

Your question is very interesting but you must consider the population increase alongside. Because, you might find the amount to truly increase and don't forget that population also increase.

In a research study, especially study which involves the administration of questionnaire, your aim and objectives must be clearly spelt out along with your research questions.

In the case of New Zealand visitors. We could check maybe there is a significant difference between continents from which these visitors came from and in that case, we have to take a data that specifies the number of visitors per continents.

Sure, both parties involved have a part to play, journalists should also be careful with what they report as only few will take time to critically look into those reported Statistics before commenting on it or spreading the info.

Truly, Australia is very close to New Zealand compare to UK, yet I still wonder such closeness in figures in terms of number of visitors currently in the country.

I believe the Multiplicative forecast is more reliable than additive forecast as there are few prediction biase compare to additive, although the confidence interval for Multiplicative forecast is a little bit wider than that of addictive forecast.

After the decomposition, I believed the multiplicative decomposition is better than additive taking into account the spread(units) of the residual. For Multiplicative decomposition it ranges roughly between -1,000 to +1,000 while for additive it ranges between -2,000+ to +2,000.
As regard possible reason Why the residuals tend to be small in the middle and...
