| paddatrapper | morning chesedo | 09:51 |
| chesedo | how is it going paddatrapper? | 10:01 |
| paddatrapper | chesedo: good thanks. You? | 10:35 |
| chesedo | paddatrapper: great ty, began with studies again late last week | 10:42 |
| paddatrapper | chesedo: nice. I start in 2 weeks again | 10:47 |
| chesedo | nice | 10:52 |
| * chesedo has to spark, it seems that one lecturer is expecting us to complete 16 chapters (at least 8 are revision) before the end of Feb - then we will also have nothing left for the rest of the semester | 10:53 | |
| chesedo | i guess this means UNISA uses java for its student portal backend -> https://pasteboard.co/H59IDft.png | 10:59 |
| MaNI | they use sakai | 11:01 |
| MaNI | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakai_(software) <- which is indeed Java | 11:02 |
| paddatrapper | chesedo: heh, good luck! | 11:08 |
| paddatrapper | UCT uses the same platform | 11:09 |
| chesedo | eish! | 11:13 |
| paddatrapper | it's not too bad, but the wiki and some of the other modules leave much to be desired | 12:24 |
| chesedo | overall not too much, it is just slow, outdated (uses iframes everywhere) and the discussion module is not geared at distance learners - we do not really use the other modules | 12:44 |
| paddatrapper | yeah I don't use the discussion and chat modules, but that's largely because my classmates ask stupid questions | 12:59 |
| MaNI | haven't used it lately, but at the time they switched over the old unisa portal was actually far superior IMO | 13:05 |
| chesedo | MaNI: really? when was that? | 13:40 |
| MaNI | 2009 or so | 13:42 |
| chesedo | interesting | 13:43 |
| superfly | Bwahaha! <paddatrapper> yeah I don't use the discussion and chat modules, but that's largely because my classmates ask stupid questions | 21:49 |
| paddatrapper | superfly: They go one about things that have been clearly layed out in 50 different emails... | 21:50 |
| superfly | paddatrapper: I hear you. Anyone with a little real world experience tends to be like that. | 21:51 |
| superfly | ag | 21:51 |
| superfly | paddatrapper: what I meant was that most students can be a little shortsighted because they haven't lived in the real world yet | 21:52 |
| paddatrapper | superfly: yeah that is true | 21:52 |
| superfly | Both my brothers and I had a gap year before studying, and we all saw the lack of thinking from those straight out of school | 21:53 |
| paddatrapper | it's crazy. Just a little bit of reading and half the questions wouldn't be there | 21:53 |
