|| Hours or 2200 - 2300 Hours Banglades Local Time || ymislam@gmail.com || My work involves motivating individuals, teachers and students to perform. ||  ||   || I would like to learn how you feel your own performance or the performance of people in your organization can be improved to delliver outputs required. || Diergaardt || wynandd2 || 19:00 - 22:00 Namibian Time || diergaardt@namcol.com.na wynand.diergaardt@gmail.com || I am a Programme Developer. I develop study material for Secondary Education, mostly print, but also radio, video and web-based lessons. I recently did a project with COL where we developed open educational resources. I would like to devote at least 2 hours a day or 10 hours a week. || By looking at the name Human Performance Technology, the thought comes to my mind that it is how we as humans perform by using technology. To improve courses to enhance performance and to change the courses if necessary. || I would like to learn how to improve performance and to help learners reach their full potential. This especially applicable to course development. || On the how I think it would be useful and beneficial to my institution if I can assist my colleagues in course development and delivery of courses. || olubiyiadewale@gmail.com || I am actually an Associate Professor of Biblical Studies at the National Open University of Nigeria, Lagos. However, by reason of appointment, I am currently the Director of the Lagos Study Centre of the University, which is the largest in terms of students population. Thus, I am usually very busy throughout the day and the night at times (especially during examination periods which may run for 1 month plus). I would like to devote at least 1.30 hours daily as my time would be divided between the two courses. However, I have the weekend to make up most times. || I think this course would center on how we can use technology to measure and track human performance. || Since I have not seen the course description yet and I really don't know what the course is all about, I may not be able to say what I would like to learn. If this page would still remain editable by then, I will come and rewrite this colom. || I will learn by ensuring that I read all my reading assignments, participate actively in discussions and possible projects if there are any. ||

Will update soon. || 1900-2100 Malaysia Time || jesvin26@gmail.com || I am a HOD for maths and teach maths at Sri Dasmesh School. I motivate, guide and ensure maths teachers are on the correct path. I also conduct workshops internal and external to enhance their knowledge. I teach maths to primary and secondary students using various ways such as ELMO, CD, Video, PowerPoint, role play and etc. I would like to spend about 1.5 hrs daily between my 2 courses and catch up most of my work during weekends. || I believe HPT is how well someone can perform in the technology era. One will be able to use technology to increase performance in many way such as completing task in a easy manner compare to traditional methods. || I want to learn how can I improve my performance by using technology. On the hand, I have not much to say as I am really not sure what HPT is about in detail. || I would participate in discussion. Ensure assignment is done with my best effort. In result, I gain great knowledge from this course ||

I also manage my team of designers and programmers. When I am not doing ID work, I train people regarding using ID authoring tools, as well as on ID.

I tend to spend a few hours each day after work working on the assignments for my class(1.5hrs), and a few more on Sunday. || HTP, is the technology created to measure how employees do in their organisation, e.g ABC Bank want to incorporate elearning as part of their KPI. This means each employee will need to key in certain hours per week doing elearning, which will be assessed within the elearning programme. This in turn will be recorded in the LMS so as the person in charge of Learning in ABC Bank will see the record that they have done the assignment they need to do to fill in their KPI. How they performed in the assessment is one of the method of HTP in ABC Bank's organisation. || As much as I can about HPT, as just like Jes, I can guess what HPT is about, but I am not really sure that if I have guessed correctly. || From discussions in forum as well as by completing the assignment. Perhaps to communicate with the instructor, the instructor can have a special page where each student can communicate with him, as and when it is convenient for them. ||
