Great work |
| 2.
probably there can be a guide on the features of ivle.. like
a step by step guide for the students to know exactly what
services the ivle provides. cos i noe some of my friends dunno
abt the sms service .. |
| 4.
Generally, this system has been very beneficial for both students
and lecturers. However, certain functions, like downloading
of readings, (esp. for those that are limited to only one
time downloading per student) have room for improvement. Sometimes
the system gets clogged up, and causes us to lose the opportunity
of accessing the readings online. On the other hand, the efficiency
of the system will require the cooperation of the lecturers,
for instance, timely access of lecture notes. |
| 5.
Improvements: Perhaps the IVLE team could consider giving
a limited amount of webspace to every student to put up his/her
personal website. Roughly it could be 10Mb or so. The forums
could be further improved and and make it similar to the mainstream
forums available on the net. |
| 6.
i remembered that during the last exam, i had a lot of problem
accessing the past year exam papers with the link provided
on IVLE. it doesn't seem to be able to access exam papers
that register a different module code in cases when my modules
have already changed their module code. this problem is compounded
by lib's new website which seemed totally impossible to find
any exam papers at all, first time that i encountered this
problem in my 3 years here. |
| 8.
When searching for modules, it does not tell us why they cannot
be found like for exmple if they have changed their module
code or that it was offered last year or something. |
| 10.
if possible, put the timetable on IVLE, so that we could view
my class schedule online |
| 12.
good, keep it up! |
| 13.
It would be better if mobile IVLE can notify students whenever
lecturers upload any lecture notes and reading material.
|
| 14.
it is a good system. well done |
| 15.
Personally, i think we can have better IVLE. More functions..more
advanced and bring more convenience to us. |
| 17.
well done |
| 18.
This sem, things like the forum has always been down especially
for those viewing the site from home. even the webcast seemed
to have problems all too often. hopfully the problem can be
rectified before long as the system is very useful for enhancing
the studying in nus |
| 19.
There is nothing to improve on. It is good enough. Well done! |
|
20. Your survey is too loaded with trying to rationalise IVLE.
It does not attempt to uncover any difficulties, weaknesses
of IVLE or a system like it. (Unless of course, if you didn't
intend to). For example, a question like number 7 barely scratches
the surface. It is not really necessarily to answer at all.
Any system would "impact" the experience with NUS. As for
enhance, it depends on what the lecturers do doesn't it? IVLE's
aesthetic design is hopelessly ugly. Buttons are inconsistent.
Although connection speeds seems quite good. |
| 22.
IVLE has certainly helped students in preparing and/or catching
up with schoolwork. it is very important to have an efficient
and easy to use system to help us access the resources. |
| 23.
Thank u very much for all the hard work. I'm sure all of us
would have a much harder time learning and studying at NUS
if not for IVLE. |
| 25.
The messenging system is a bit lag |
| 27.
It works for me. |
| 29.
Should not be shut down during holiday |
| 30.
Less red tape for lecturers to put up materials/internet links
in the ivle on short notice. Educating/updating the academic
staff on the capabilities of the ivle? |
|
32. It was a great system. May be we should also be allow
to access our email within the IVLE instead of login to any
address |
| 33.
good tool to access to all modules |
| 34.
IVLE is a great tool. It has helped me a lot during my years
in the university so far. |
| 36.
Software not cmpatible with certain OS like Windows ME, where
e announcement doesn't appear in pop-up-windiw form. Else
is quite convenient to use. |
| 40.
very nice, efficient and easy to use keep it up. |
|
41. imporve on the instand messaging system because the message
does not appear instantly when you message the other party. |
| 42.
can improve in the forum portion, to make it more real-time. |
| 44.
currently not all courses are linked in IVLE. All lecturers
should be encouraged to place notes in IVLE so that access
is easier for students. |
| 45.
very good system. |
| 47.
Strongly agreed to provide and improve the system. It is useful
in learning and getting information. The sugggestion (1) Is
it possible to set up a place under particular module for
group project members' discussion and posting documents The
improvement (1) The Vedio put in the IVLE is not in good qaulity
in terms of sound,screen size. Is it possible to improve the
quality? |
| 50.
IVLE forums are getting increasingly overloaded. Whenever
I click on the 'Expand All' icon and try to read a whole discussion
thread, the forum usually hangs, and even refreshing or logging
in again produces the same result. I've learned to get around
this by using 'Expand New' to take some of the load off the
server, but the problem tends to crop up again when I've been
logged on for a little longer. It's frustrating because I
really enjoy participating in forum discussions. Sometimes
when I try to reply to a thread, I end up having to log off
and on several times before I'm able to. |
| 53.
sometimes the links to certain multimedia files are down at
the critical moment such as i was unable to view my course
videos the day before the exam and it was kind of worrying,
perhaps there should be a link to report if a particular link
or file doesnt work and that the reply would be asap. Thanks |
| 54.
The trouble is, not all lecturers use the IVLE, or do so in
a standardised manner. This has led to a negating of the convenience
of the IVLE as a "one-stop access" point. Perhaps training
courses could be conducted and the system standardised for
the lecturers, so that students really WILL be able to access
all things at the same time. |
| 55.
Modules should all have webcasts... |
| 56.
It is very conveinient for us to know about all the announcements.... |
| 57.
the system is great as it is the one stop in getting the lecturer
notes and communicate with the lecturer. But not all lecturer
have their lecture notes mounted on the site and the communication
with the lecturer through forum and chat room was also not
being utilise by most lecturers. |
| 58.
it is great. should be clearer to navigate though |
| 59.
IVLE definitely has its benefits such as we can get our readings
from it without having to make a trip to the library to queue
up and wait. Perhaps to make it even more useful, lecturers
should use the ivle to answer the students' queries in the
forum actively. In that way, we can ensure that students and
lecturers are in close contact and build good rapport. Basically
I think the ivle chat isn't of much use since we don't stay
in the ivle all day long. |
| 60.
Allow students to change their photos on IVLE through uploading.
Allow ALL students to e-mail everyone in the class. |
| 61.
i think it should be easier to use and read, especially for
the beginners. |
| 62.
Essential to the running of such a large institution. |
| 63.
More Lecturers should make better use of it .... especially
lecturers from Business Ad. is not really using IVLE at all. |
| 64.
so far this system has been most useful as it gives me access
to school work as long as i have a PC with internet access.
|
| 65.
To allow access of lecture notes of bookmarked modules because
there are modules that i have bookmarked but cant access the
lecture notes. |
| 67.
No comments. Its already quite useful to us generally. |
| 68.
Pretty practical and useful. Although it would be good to
add some fancy features like sms notices etc, I think the
system should be kept to a practical minimum so that it would
not become too confusing. Keep it up. |
| 69.
IVLE make it more convenient for us, the part-time student
to find out things abt our courses. |
| 70.
make various applications more accessible especially the videos
if required for certain modules i find it extremely tedious
and difficult accessing videos uploaded on ivle |
| 71.
It's a good system. |
| 73.
It good for those people that miss class often, still can
follow the progree through the lessen clip. |
| 76.
I think it's useful and convenient for students to manage
their modules and be updated on any immediate annoucements
made.. |
| 78.
Not many lecturers are making full use of the forum, this
may be improved. Sometimes from home I cannot access the latest
announcements put up on IVLE, or the newest posted stuff ...
don't know if there are similar complaints or is this a technical
fault of my own CPU? |
| 79.
it is quite good |
| 80.
IVLE has been very useful to me and I rely extensively on
it during the school term.Overall, I am very satisfied with
the layout and workings of the IVLE. |
| 81.
I think other than the problem of missing out the modules
given to students that had happened once, the IVLE system
is a rather convenient and important tool for students. |
| 82.
there is no navigation to such things like Grade book thus
when teacher told us to take a look at our grade in Grade
book, we do not know where to go to |
| 83.
Could include more student related tools/ applications such
as calculator, planners etc... |
| 85.
IVLE is great, i love it. |
| 86.
i like it. good effort; somemore using asp and not jsp. =) |
| 87.
Its perfectly fine. |
| 89.
change the look. more appealing colours... and more professional
look |
| 92.
update the module courses soon after bidding. sometimes we
still get the module for the previous semester |
| 93.
IVLE should continue...it is certainly very helpful... |
| 95.
ensure all lecturers make use of it. |
| 96.
I think IVLE is efficient thus far. Though it would be good
if more multimedia for course viewing could be available to
watch outside campus using this system. |
| 97.
There is no alert for incoming message whenever people reply
through the active messanging. |
| 101.
Please. Update your forum design. It's terrible. Forums such
as vbulletin and phpbb allow users to see all the posts in
a thread at one go, while ivle's forum does not. By expanding
and then clicking one by one, the congruence of a discussion
is lost. Also, ivle does not allow the viewing of all those
previous posts in a thread while making a reply. |
| 102.
IVLE has been equipped with a lot of functions, such as chat
room, personal organiser and so on.. but seem to me, these
functions are hardly utilised by me and my friends. I think
most students are not aware and will not bother these uses,
as they have better alternatives. |
| 103.
Not all the modules in SDE are supported by IVLE. Some lecturers
just set up a pseudo IVLE with dead links to assessments,
forums. IVLE should be updated on a regular basis to operate
as a efficient and functional functional medium of communication
and information dissemination. |
| 104.
the alert email to our nus mailbox whenever there is a file
being uploaded can be made optional instead. |
| 105.
All lecturers should be encouraged to use IVLE...most lecturers
in pharmacy do not use it well...some do not even create a
site for their module... |
| 107.
Regarding the media resource, I cannot access the media at
home even though I have met the criteria of using cable. Perhaps
this area can be further enhanced. Thank you. |
| 108.
satisfied |
| 109.
I thought that all modules should have the basic functions
on ivle such as: forums, group roster(if any, class roster
alone is not enough), but some modules that I used to take
is useless with ivle.The course website may have the basic
necessaries such as the lec notes and announcement but ivle
is still the best. Still, there should be forums and lesson
plans, ...for that particular modules on ivle. |
| 110.
on the whole, it's useful. |
| 111.
It is a very good system for me on my academic works. |
| 112.
I like the Webcast..think more lectures should be placed on
webcast. For most of my modules the lecturers dun use the
IVLE at all, maybe they should be given training on how to
use and utilise it. The forums are also very useful |
| 113.
It is great. |
| 114.
Help page can be improved. |
| 115.
the layout look ugly |
| 116.
An interactive user tutorial on how to use ivle maybe created,
or be placed in a more obvious place if it has been one there. |
| 117.
Can include some graphics to improve the visual effects of
IVLE. |
| 118.
The part for sending messages to friends should be designed
in a way where it is like ICQ or MSN Chat; messages coming
in will pop up automatically so that people actually know
that their friends actually send their a message without much
time delay. |
| 119.
I feel that IVLE has been an extremely useful and easy to
use for us students. |
| 121.
the sms alert for IVLE announcement is inconsistent. it appears
to work only at certain times for certain modules. it would
be good to improve on its reliability. |
| 122.
everything's fine. |
| 125.
active messaging does not work |
| 126.
I think all lecturers need to be aware that we do use the
ivle. I also noticed that we have never used the project evaluation
thingee... |
| 127.
All announcements can be notified through SMS instead of a
selection of them only. |
| 128.
i like ivle. |
| 129.
sometimes too much logging in is required, for example using
ivle to retrieve past year exam paper. the limit for uploading
file is too little as often projects to be shared among classmates
exceed the limit |
| 131.
the chat function is not very well developed. the user does
not get an alert when his fren msg him. |
| 132.
it is very desirable as all the courses I take in every current
semester is listed and i can access all the relevant materials
in the same website. However, it would be best if the modules
i have taken are retained somewhere on ivle so that i can
access the materials again when needed. |
| 133.
suggestion: The school first need to request all of the professors
and lecturers to use IVLE, once they put the notes on IVLE,
the students will access and download from it. |
| 134.
its a good idea |
| 137.
some technical problems such as inability to load websites
from the pg.. for example the SARS website on certian browsers.
|
| 138.
It ROCKS!! |
| 139.
for a facilitator service, i believe it is very neatly done. |
| 140.
Although the current IVLE is easy to navigate, however the
layout of the website is boring and dull. I think it would
greatly interest us and enhance our participation in IVLE
if the layout could be modified to one that is more interesting
or engaging through the use of more vibrant colors or the
incorparation of interactive web designs like flash etc. Also,
features such as online chat room should be fully utilized
since some modules already have this feature under their module
code. The same goes for other IVLE tools that are being under-utilized.
Besides, the feature 'Active Messaging' needs some improvement
because interacting with friends through this feature is troublesome
in that the other party's message will not automatically appear
on your screen after he/she sent the message across. You can
only get to see the message when you click on the 'refresh'
button. Hence if you're unsure whether the other party had
sent another new message, you'd have to click on the 'refresh'
button continuously... |
| 144.
There such be a course teaching some of the lecturers to use
IVLE as I feel that a lot of lecturers have not optimise IVLE's
usage. Some only use it to deposit their notes but not as
a means of communication. If only the lecturers can use it
like Dr. Seow TK as he makes full use of IVLE for my LSM 1401
module. Highly commendable! |
| 145.
It is a great system. |
| 146.
Great system. Love it to bits. Hope the good work can be continued.
A better forum might be better. Something like those commercial
ones via php? |
| 148.
Those items not available for the students eg past years materials
are better to be removed or grey off to avoid confusion. Period
of access should be indicated as well. |
| 149.
I believe that all well design systems requires people who
are able and willing to impelement them. I suppose you can
educate more professors or tutors in using of the functions
in ivle. |
| 150.
like-online tests are useful especially abefore exam its a
good form of revision. it is very useful to contact lecturers
and tutors and it seems to be the besy way for lecturers to
upload the lect notes and it is easy to access. |
| 151.
not all of the modules make full use of the ivle. the administrator
can encourage lecturers to make use of ivle to post teaching
materials. i'm sure a lot of students like me do not use the
forum regularly. this can be improved too. |
| 152.
it is convenient as it gives access to all the courses. |
| 153.
good |
| 155.
Have a "Download All" function to download materials related
to the entire course (includes all sub-folders). Lecturers
must pur their course materials in IVLE for IVLE to work.
|
| 157.
i think it is a great way to organise the course work it definitely
simplify the ways information is pass around without much
confusion well done and keep up the good work! |
| 158.
for some module, i think it will be better for the lecturer
to answer to the question in the forum rather than setting
it up and leave it there. i think they are some lecturer who
do that. If they dont have the itention to answer any question
online, they might as well dont creagte the forum. With the
accurate answer from lecturer, students wont have to guess
which is the right asnwers, sicne different students give
different answer and some may be right or some may be wrong
( done on purpose) |
| 159.
active messaging is not very efficient in the sense that we
have to keep refreshing the page before we can see our friend's
message. |
| 160.
So far I think the IVLE is very efficient, no comments at
the moment. |
| 161.
Generally, I enjoyed IVLE as a learning experience in my NUS
days, in particular the forum section in which students can
exchange ideas and learn from the rest. However, participation
rate at undergraduate level in those courses I took in Law
Faculty appeared to be very low. Effort must be made to promote
the importance of IVLE as a platform to share information
with the fellow students, lest it will defeat the purpose
of University education. |
| 162.
nothing to comment in particular. Except maybe there's some
inconsistency in notifying students about uploaded work on
IVLE and some announcements through email. Because I mainly
access IVLE to dowload notes and assignments, I may not be
accessing it regularly enough to catch announcements through
IVLE. In this case, some announcements are posted both through
email and IVLE, while some available only when one goes through
IVLE. It would be good if there's a consistency in that ALL
announcements are posted both through IVLE and email. |
| 163.
make sure that all lecturers are adequately skilled in using
it first, and that they WILL use it. so that "one-stop access"
will really mean what it means. course package on sale is
preferred to e-reserves because it is too time-consumning
to download and print one by one, not to forget we can only
download once so if we wana use the laser photocopier in school,
after we download once and theres problem, we cant access
the same document again from home. one of the options for
question 8 is "i can access my course notes and assignments
immediately", but many lecturers still post their notes after
(sometimes even one week after!) the lecture. this hardly
benefit students. i know different lecturers have different
styles, but uploading it before hand will give students the
freedom instead whether to print notes before or after the
lecture to suit their learning style. therefore student;s
preference to do so or not (ie, students' learning style)
should be more important than the lecturer's. all in all IVLE
is still useful because lecturers can post notes and announcements
to keep student up to date. |
| 164.
IVLE ROX..use it all the time..MIT Just introduced it..! |
| 166.
The UI has to be improved to be more user friendly, there
are alot of login if I wish to access elibrary or the exam
paper. Try to reduce the logins and keystroke, some of the
functions like search in the forum can be further improved
and these functions are not very obvious to users. |
| 167.
The webcasts are very helpful, will be good if all modules
had webcasts. |
| 169.
Keep Up The Good Work |
| 171.
it is very useful.. |
| 172.
IVLE is of a great help to me as i can get the information
of the courses taken and it is very convenient to use. |
| 173.
The IVLE forum enables the students to have FAQ about the
course. But the usage of the forum depends on the lecturer
encouragement. If the lecturer encourage us to use then the
students will make use of it otherwise not much info can be
found there. |
| 175.
it is good |
| 178.
very convenient and easy to get assignments. |
| 179.
i think the ivle has really becomes a very essential part
of the entire course of the uni study. it is from here that
we are able to reach all the information about the courses
through ivle with much access. for instance we are able to
locate all the lecture notes and assessments, no forgetting
the past year exam papers to some of the available modules.
etc. but one thing which i hope to see in ivle is the postings
of the solutions to the past year exam papers. since not all
the solutions to the past years papers could be purchased.
thanks... |
| 180.
Actually, I think it is really quite a good system that help
students in organization and management of modules. |
| 181.
The IVLE is a vital tool for us as it helps us to download
stuff from the workbin, access all other modules so as to
get a rough knowledge of what is expected in those modules.
i'm satisfied with the IVLE system. __________________ |
| 182.
Show more clearly a link to all modules offered in NUS, so
that a student can assess the probability of taking the module
next semester. |
| 183.
1. The active messaging is not actively used. Most students
will juz use msn or yahoo messenger. |
| 184.
I hope more profs would be encouraged to use IVLE, especially
in physics. |
| 187.
Some improvements on webcast.. |
| 188.
Perhaps getting more lecturers to use the system will be good.
I think some lecturers are still a bit wary about the IVLE
and thus don't really use it even though it is such a good
tool. |
| 190.
IVLE is an excellent system where it greatly facilitates the
communication between students and lecturers. There is also
very easy access to lecture notes etc. |
| 191.
can there be an indication on the ivle workspace, as to how
many new/unread emails we have in our mailbox. in this way,
we will not waste time opening the mailbox when there may
not be new/unread emails. |
| 192.
It is sometimes harder to access from home. |
| 193.
Felt it quite good. |
| 194.
Please make the current version of the WEBCAST LECTURES accessable
to alternative internet browsers like Mozilla and Opera as
i am unable to view them over these browsers. |
| 195.
Is it possible to allow us to access other modules instead
of being restricted to modules taken by a student. This might
help him/ her to do research or pool resources from other
modules. |
| 197.
This is a very good system, it would be better to attach a
"help" icon that is more user friendly. Thank you for your
attention and have a nice day! |
| 198.
I think that the concept is a very good idea, though more
participation bby certain lecturers woud be better. =) |
| 199.
Sometimes it's a bit slow,especially when there's a msg. |
| 200.
i want to get more chances to communicate with my lecturers
and TAs. |
| 201.
generally, it's a very good thing to have if lecturers make
use of it efficiently. |
| 202.
The IVLE is very useful, but some teachers do not use its
potential enough. Also, lack of participation from students
make the forum rather dry. Also, what is Mobile IVLE? Is it
possible to have a mini-course (online or in person) to teach
us on the possibilities of IVLE? |
| 203.
i think that the whole system is generally very good and efficient.
i really use the ivle to view webcast lectures as well. it's
a great idea. |
| 204.
No additional improvements |
| 205.
underutilised. perhaps some perks for logging on regularly?
|
| 207.
Its an excellent systems that makes information easy for all,
lecturers and students alike. It has reduced the hassle of
making trips to photocopy room. |
| 208.
very good application software.. |
| 209.
On the whole, IVLE provides an all purpose environment for
NUS undergraduates. It not only provide academic resources,
it can also serve as a means of communication with friends
through the different tools. Keep up the good work!! |
| 210.
IVLE is brilliant! |
| 211.
I feel that under my community, the moderator of a group should
be able to post announcements that would appear as pop-ups
when its members log onto ivle. This would facilitate the
communication between the members and the moderator. |
| 212.
A more thorough/efficient updating of the IVLE in relation
to the modules a student could be taking outside of his own
faculty. For instance, as a Bizad student minoring in Real
Estate, I initially couldn't access the workbin for one of
my Real Estate modules in the IVLE, and had to notify my lecturer
to rectify the problem for me. |
| 216.
It's great to have IVLE... perhaps more lectures can be webcasted
so that students can watch them in case we miss out anything
during the lectures. |
| 218.
At times, in order for us to access the allocated modules
online exam papers, we need to sign in once again - this can
be quite a waste of time. Possibly arrangements can be made
to facilitate this, so that we have direct access to these
online papers straight by clicking the modules. |
| 219.
it's great. should be a one-stop for all my modules and it
should contain all the relevant info regarding my modules.
encourage lecturers to at least put general info (like pre-req
and preclusions, assessment, dates of exams, etc) on the IVLE
so that students won't be lost in the workload. |
| 222.
Your survey form question 5 do not allow me to give my true
information about the tools used. In fact i didnt use all
the tools stated. but i am force to rank it. i feel that this
will affect the statistics of the survey. |
| 223.
improve connection for webcast lectures |
| 224.
Hopefully there'll be more links to course's website. |
| 226.
dislikes: some modules like Ma1505C doesn't even have a forum.
does this really makes use of ivlE? |
| 228.
useful |
| 229.
All lectures should be webcast. |
| 230.
maybe a popup can appear whenever a file/lecture note(s) has
been uploaded to the workbin so that we do not have to check
the workbins one by one. |
| 231.
Notes of the lectures to be up on the IVLE in advance and
not after the lessons completed. |
| 232.
Great system. I actually like the chat room function the best
as it allows informal exchanges and spontaneous discussions
amongst students and lecturers. Pity that most lecturers do
not use this facility. The webcast lectures also allow students
to recap on lectures (either forgotten or missed). I suggest
that more modules have webcast lectures! (but not at the expense
of normal 'live' lectures, because lecturers tend to make
normal lectures more focused and streamlined in content) |
| 233.
IVLE is a good tool for inter communication, submission of
assignments and access, printout of lecturer notes etc. I
suggested further improvemnt can be done using the latest
software systems. |
| 234.
the messaging betw friends within the ivle is very slow. |
| 235.
It is very useful and highly interactive means of communication
between the lecturers and students.. |
| 236.
It is a useful tools for both student and staff. |
| 238.
quite satisfied with the system.. |
| 239.
maybe make it easier and faster to log in without compromising
security |
| 241.
Webcast - cannot resize window Forum - cannot remain anoynomous
modules - some lecturers create very generic ones so unable
to get useful info from there. modules - some lecturer block
access to non-registered students |

Active Messaging seems rather useless. Can do away with it.
But overall useful. |
| 243.
the whole background design should be changed to be less boring
and "squarish" and more interesting as it's a place we access
everyday and it's kinda sick looking at the page sometimes.
There are some interesting and useful programmes such as my
calender, etc but i think they are underutilized because of
their non-prominence. try to be more balanced. |
| 244.
good enough |
| 245.
Excellent |
| 246.
Its not the system. Its the people who uses it. |
| 247.
It's a very good platform for one-stop academic access. |
| 248.
the e mail sent to notify on the new updates on ivle can be
clearer. most of the time, i can only know the module that
has new stuff but not what exactly is newly uploaded. |
| 249.
Really helpful in organizing my work. |
| 250.
IVLE is a good system, but it depends on how the teachers
make use of it. All teachers ahould be encourage to make good
use of it as it is a one stop acess to all our courses. |
| 251.
Most of the time there is error on the page |
| 253.
Good. |
| 254.
The loading time for assignments or lecture notes is too long
and sometimes, it even occurred error. |
| 255.
Its very good for access to notes and other course-related
matters. |
| 258.
More tutors should maker use of this facility such that we
do not have to refer to other course websites which could
confuse the students by giving too many ip addresses to go
to. |
| 259.
more webcasts |
| 265.
I think IVLE can also be used as an announcement forum for
the University. Hence instead of sending out several emails
it can be in the form of another section called "important
announcements from the University" Also I feel that the Gradebook
feature should be used more frequently. |
| 266.
i can get my lecture notes accessibly. |
| 267.
o.k.good beginning |
| 269.
Maybe there should be some indicators on beside the appropriate
sections (e.g. workbin, forum etc) to indicate the presence
of newly uploaded documents/replies which have not been accessed
before. This will definitely save time on the need to go through
the workbin/forum of every single module. |
| 270.
It is very accessible and contains everything that I need
for my modules. |
| 271.
Good system, though the occasional hiccups in teh server needs
to be addressed. |
| 272.
it will be better if ALL of our notes are available in IVLE.
some of the lecturer still does not put their notes in IVLE.
|
| 273.
overall IVLE is very good... not much can be comment on. Hope
all the NUS students will make full used of this system. |
| 275.
THE WEBCAM FEATURE SHOULD BE RE-INSTALLED. IT ENHANCES LEARNING
BETTER. INCORPORATE/LINK IVLE WITH EMAIL ACCOUNT... EASIER
MOBILITY. |
| 276.
Think the web cast lectures are a great help. |
| 277.
Since i'm a part-time student,i often skip classes due to
my workschedule.IVLE helps me to keep in touch with my course.
thanks for your service |
| 278.
A lot of time lecturer like to upload lecture note, tutorial
tothe IVLE, it's good for us to read but they should also
provide hardcopy to us. It is very unfair for student to pay
such a high school fee and yet have to print the note themselve.
IVLE is for us to learn and communicate with each other to
speed up our learning curve. My personnal point of view, the
student should not print our own note unless NUS is going
to reduce the fee. - lecture note consists of many pages (more
than hundreds) Please help us to cut down ours unnecessary
cost. Thanks. |
| 279.
sometimes it is quite difficukt to find the pass year exam
papers thro ivle at home... sometimes type in the module and
cant find it... |
| 280.
I hope that all teachers can use the ivle for teaching and
not try to set up their own websites. This is because some
features like the forum is often missing in their websites.
It is cumbersome for the students and inefficient for effective
and quick learning. |
| 281.
there should be more webcast lectures available |
| 282.
No suggestions for improvements. |
| 283.
Good. The use of ivle has been pleasant. Keep up the good
work! |
| 284.
I really like the IVLE system, because it enables me to gain
access to tutorials, notes & research stuff on via the e-library
etc. It's easy to use, convenient & immediate. |
| 285.
IVLE has made my learning easier in NUS as it actually acts
as a tool for me to be in contact with the NUS community. |
| 287.
I would like to point out that there are students who are
not familiar with IVLE system, such as exchange students and
they are not provided enough information for them to use IVLE.
And also it is absolutely needed to support better internet
access for students who have difficulty to get internet at
home. |
| 288.
Overall it has helped me to access my courses very easily
and its fast. |
| 293.
I feel that students should have access to other courses as
well to know more about the course to prepare them in their
planning to choose the module in terms of workload and materials
covered. |
| 294.
We(my classmates and myself) have never used the instant communication.
Don't know how it could help the communication between the
members of the assignment/project team. |
| 295.
HOpe that lecture notes uploaded will be prompt |
| 296.
i like the e reserves function best, i think it really saves
us a whole lot of trouble from queueing and photocopying essential
readings from the library...more lecturers should utilise
this function. |
| 297.
some lecturers are not organised enough in using the IVLE
resulting in much difficulties faced by students. Time spent
just to "explore" the materials found in IVLE is very long
due to this, thus wasting our time instead. |
| 298.
Chat room capability should be enhanced. I remembered going
into the chat room for a supposed online chatting session
to replace a lecture. After about 20+ people entered the chat
room, the system just crashed. Webcast lectures screening
should also cater to those with dialup modem. Probably another
option can be made for students to view the lecture albeit
with lesser video enhancements. |
| 299.
Make Sure all modules have a forum as i think it's crucial
for all students... |
| 300.
it is already a good system . if it can introduce the system
of giving out credits for those devoted user or give them
priviledges in using the system , i think more people would
like to contribute to the system and make it perfect. |
| 301.
It is really very useful. It makes communication a lot easier. |
| 302.
there are still bugs in IVLE. I have a subject called Enterprise
Java which I have taken in the last semester which is still
existing in the forum. Not taken out. In addition, some of
the subjects taken during this semester have no forums at
all ??? weird. |
| 303.
the ivle's active messaging is not really active. Messages
can't be received immediately, they will only appear when
you refresh the page. I think that it would be better if it
could work like msn. The forum, too, could work better too
if we could address questions to those we know who are online. |
| 304.
When we access the multimedia, the screen for showing film
is too small. A bigger full screen would aid in better viewing. |
| 305.
improve the bandwith on webcasts |
| 309.
seems okay to me so far |
| 310.
Its user-friendly! |
| 311.
Webcasts should have better quality. Some modules like gek1517
does not have an ivle page. |
| 313.
good to have it.....quite convinient |
| 314.
good |
| 315.
It's efficient to utilise. |
| 316.
If there can be some how an integration of IVLE with various
access points (SOC portal, etc) and make IVLE the main access
point for various resouces, then redundacy (if any) and usage
can be reduced and increased respectively. The current IVLE
interface looks pretty dull and unattractive. |
| 317.
Maybe to enable link or view of e-mail from IVLE. |
| 318.
good system to keep us updated on our own modules |
| 321.
maybe have a site map where we know what is there that are
in IVLE or that are linked to IVLE. Would help to navigate
the users around more efficiently. |
| 324.
More consistency needed across all modules. |
| 327.
perhaps can have a section indicating exam dates for each
module. This will help making ivle a one-stop info centre
for students regarding their modules. |
| 329.
Make access to all taken modules available through another
link and not just the current semester's modules. |
| 330.
It is good and easy to use, especially for us to download
notes and etc. Good to have such a system. |
| 331.
It's user friendly and it's a one-stop access to all my courses.
|
| 332.
there are some modules that require us to log into their website
from the website link to dl lecture notes and tutorials. why
can't they just put it into the workbin in the ivle website? |
| 333.
can refresh the messenger service automatically... now i have
to refresh the thing myself manually... waste time and no
one wants to use it... or maybe u can scrap the whole thing
altogether since there's so many instant messengers ard aredi...
speed up the whole process and program. |
| 334.
hope that the modules that are not taught by my lecturers
this semester will not be displayed. They are of the same
module codes as those that I am taking this semester but are
not taught by the same lecturers. |
| 335.
The forum should be more user friendly... |
| 336.
should link directly to email...do not need to enter password
and user ID all over again |
| 338.
Like IVLE because it is very functional and is rather user-friendly.
However, i realised that the subscription service might fail
at times throughout the semester. Would be great if you can
fix that. Maybe it would also be better if you could allow
students to arrange their modules so that they can see the
modules that they want at the top and reduce the hassle of
scrolling up and down. This also allows for more customisation.
|
| 340.
i would like to see exam papers from over the years and not
only for the most recent year |
| 342.
Easy to find related lecture resources.... |
| 343.
Encourage use by all lecturers.........and the section for
events happening is a real good idea and should be continued......information
of all modules, times and course info should be available
on ivle and care must be taken to see that this corresponds
to the info available on the CORS website to avoid confusion
esp. those concerning times and module info. |
| 344.
There is only one(1) main issue ie it is not user-friendly. |
| 345.
Be more faculty specific |
| 347.
IVLE is a great and important tool for undergrads/grads. This
is especially so if the module's lecture is the only one for
the day and there is a webcast for it. Highly important for
students that need to travel far just to reach school. Also,
good to download available readings instead of going to the
library, queuing and wasting time. IVLE should try and make
it compulsory that all modules be webcasted. |
| 348.
its a fantastic idea to have an IVLE. however, users should
at least visit the webpage once in every two days. this includes
lecturers as well |
| 349.
I really like this system...guess I don't know what live in
NUS will be without it. It's so essential and certainly helps
a lot in my learning. |
| 350.
Lecturers could make use of IVLE to put up test results instead
of putting up the results on the notice board. |
| 351.
Incorporate NUSmail into IVLE? |
| 352.
There are some tools which I dont think are often used by
the students like the instant messaging for example. In the
event that you need to divert resources to other endeavours,
I think that those in charge could remove some of this tools.
Otherwise, I think IVLE is actually a very very good resource
and I'm pleased that it exists. |
| 353.
The software is fine. The issue here is whether all lecturers
can be convinced of its utility. A pattern that emerges is
that the more senior lecturers and professors appear to shun
its use - techno-phobic? The younger and new teaching staff
take to it like duck to water which is very helpful to the
new generations of NUS undergraduates. Perhaps NUS could fine-tune
the "heartware" - encourage every lecturer to use the IVLE
to convey their course contents. Features which I think are
otiose are the chatroom and course assessments. |
| 355.
include a more comprehensive scheduler inside |
| 356.
I believe some of the features are more used than others. |
| 357.
useful tool, but if lecturers do not put it up then no point |
| 358.
it is useful to students |
| 359.
e-library should allow multiple downloads rather than once
only. causes inconvenience esp when disconnected / have problems.
also, it is useful to be able to see materials from other
modules for interest etc, not just the modules taken in a
particular semester. it is not fully utilizing the system
with such an inflexible arrangement. traditional photocopying
would not limit us from photocopying books/materials used
by other modules, so why should the electronic system do so? |
| 360.
The lecturers should be educated on the use of IVLE. After
that it should be made compulsory to use IVLE. Many of them
are simply too lazy to use IVLE and so many times we are back
to square one trying to navigate different websites for different
modules. It's very disadvantageous for students using slower
connection as they have to load up many redundant stuff often
just to download lecture notes. |
| 361.
if the forum or ereserves are closed, there is no need to
display them still. |
| 362.
I think there is a need to put up ALL modules that are being
taught by lecturers in NUS, mainly for reference and to act
as an information centre for future students, who wish to
take up the particular modules. It ought to be updated regularly;
and the lecturers must also play a part to ensure that all
the information are updated regularly and that information
such as course details be opened to ALL students. Thanks.
But on the whole, I think the IVLE team had done a marvellous
job in maintaining the website. |
| 363.
It should be neater. |
| 364.
Perhaps IVLE's usage could be further extend by providing
an external network with partner universities for academic
collaboration. Foreign participation if forum discussion or
chatroom discussion can definitely enhance multicultural communication
and boast learning efforts. |
| 365.
It is a well-organized system. |
| 366.
ivle is good. cos students have different timetable. |
| 367.
Tutorial registration should not be enabled on the IVLE. We
already have the cors system to reguster for our tutorial
classes and so the IVLE registering system will only confuse
students. |
| 368.
The proper usage was not clearly defined. We are exploring
blindly on this IVLE without much guidance and none vital
information given. As a newcomer, some important links may
just be overlooked and was not surf till friends informed.
In addition, more useful infomations such as news, deparmental
informations, etc can be posted in the IVLE. Also, there should
be a chit chat room for more ppl to get together and chat. |
| 371.
make it more user friendly |
| 372.
course multimedia videos cannot be viewed from home with 256K
speed.. as many videos required 512K or higher speed. That
is causing inconveniences as the headphones in the CBLC nad
PC clusters are not very clear and inaudible. |
| 373.
IVLE seems to be too generous to teachers. They simply put
everything relevant on IVLE and its impossible to know what
to read - and there is more than what is possible to read.
Teachers should be more critical on what they put on IVLE.
Its annoying that IVLE actually replaces books. Its so much
nicer to read from a book and as long as the printing facilities
on campus are as bad as they are, its not satisfying to have
to print out everything... |
| 375.
More can be done to improve the digital library and Library
e-Reserves. I find it difficult to find the journals that
the lecturers wanted and most are not available online. |
| 377.
I think it is a very useful site for students to interact
with each other outside their curriculum time and with the
tutors and lecturers also. |
| 378.
I hope all lecturers will use IVLE consistently. |
| 379.
recently, the web layout is often change so that it make us
not convenient to use. we have to learn and search again.
|
| 380.
notice that after login ivle, i still have to type in the
same username and password again to access school email account.
is it possible that the email and ivle share the same login? |
| 381.
Overall, I feel that IVLE is a very useful tool. However,
it still depends on how much the lecturer is willing to make
use of IVLE. For example, in forum, if TA or the lecturer
is willing to answer questions there, then the students will
have an good channel to ask questions. |
| 382.
The system is quite slow at times, especially for the messaging....
it's also not user-friendly as i can only chat with 1 person
and not with multiple pals. |
| 383.
The active messaging is too slow to faciliate online messaging. |
| 384.
more project collaboration tools; realtime online chat program
like msn/icq; whiteboard application n file sharing capabilities |
| 386.
It's really useful, thanks. But it would be nice if professors
do not expect us to print the lecture notes. It defeats the
environmentally friendly angle to print everything out. |
| 387.
The system is working great now however there is always a
slight lag with the friend list on knowing who is online and
who is not. Sometimes that person is online but we cannot
see if or if that person had gone offline, it still shows
that the person is offline. Also the msg send also seems not
inpromptu. Other than this, i think the whole ivle is great!
|
| 388.
Mostly efficient. |
| 389.
Perhaps a function for customising the background, or the
font can be added. THanks. |
| 390.
Good! |
| 391.
The system is very good.. and it should be made compulsory
for all the lecturers to use IVLE for the distribution lecture
notes. The chat room can be improved to look better and add
more functionalities. |
| 392.
nil... encourage more to use IVLE>.. and also upgrade the
friends messenging system... like ICQ or MSN.. it is slow
and lagging |
| 393.
i think you need to polish up the interface - it's the same
since the first release. a greate website to check out: http://www.templatemonster.com |
| 394.
A download tool (similar to norton live update) for notes
(check for new files in workbin and update accordingly) |
| 395.
sometimes module codes are duplicated multiple times, leading
to confusion. some lecturers still post lecture note etc.
on websites of their own. so only the module come is listed
in ivle-useless. |
| 396.
change the colour scheme periodically, its such a boring orange,
just dulls the whole thing |
| 397.
So far I haven't had problems with IVLE. It's already very
good. |
| 399.
maybe IVLE can enable file sharing among peers so that students
can share notes among themselves and upload files for other
students. |
| 401.
I have a major grouse and am very curious as to why the library
e-reserves are closed so soon after the semester ends - right
after exams, to be precise. Are students not given a grace
or notice period by which to download copies for their own
private and extended study? I did not have time to download
essay/journal items for two of my courses (Nation-Building
of Singapore/HY2249 and International Politics of Southeast
Asia/PS3241) during the course due to severe time constraints
as there were tons of assignments, presentations and other
more 'essential' readings to complete. Imagine my horror and
dismay when I ventured to the IVLE to do the necessary downloading
and found out that the e-reserves section had expired so quickly
upon the start of the semestral break, and no notice had been
given (e.g. mass reminder to students' e-mail accounts)! The
'cyber' convenience of the IVLE has now become an INconvenience
as I will have to manually 'hunt down' those particular titles
in the library, provided I can get the titles since all access
has now been denied. In all exasperation and honest curiousity,
may I please have an answer as to why the library e-reserves
on the IVLE are closed so soon and without notice, as well
as suggestions as to how to handle my predicament. Thank you
for your kind attention. A prompt response will be much appreciated.
Sincerely, Sarah-anne Teo |

I think all features are appropriate and useful. |
