Course: Crafting Effective Learning Assessments

I created this course and published it on my Moodle platform. Each module is comprised of SCORM package and a quiz, with an unofficial completion certificate as a template that can be costumed to the specifications of your organization. The course is tracked, and you must successfully complete each chapter to unlock the next one. The course is fully learner-centered.

Interference of Waves Simulaton

Interference of Waves Simulation

This interactive wave interference simulation demonstrates the fundamental principles of wave superposition using two sources. Users can adjust key parameters including wavelength, amplitude, phase difference, and source separation to observe how waves interact and produce complex interference patterns. The simulation features a real-time probe tool that displays individual wave amplitudes and their resultant superposition, showing constructive and destructive interference at different points in the field. The visual representation includes radiating wave fronts from both sources, with characteristic alternating bands of high and low amplitude clearly visible throughout the interference pattern.

Education before technology

Educational technology is more about strategically leveraging technology to enhance, transform, and even redefine teaching and learning than just merging education with technology. You have to be a strong educator equipped with learning theories, educational methodologies, and statistical analysis in the first place to be a successful educational technologist.

AI everywhere

Don’t do it, train your own AI to do it!

If this future becomes reality, there will be a massive wave of job displacement as AI takes over across various industries and job markets. But a wide horizon of opportunities will rise. Instead of a position of making decisions in a company, there will be a position of training the AI to make that decision and to maintain its logic.
As a bizarre example, companies might not need IT (Information Technology) officers anymore! Instead, they might employ AIT (Artificial Intelligence Technology) officers, whose main responsibility is training and maintaining the company’s AI model to solve the company’s technical issues!

DeepSeek AI: The tool I wished I had while building my photoelectric effect simulation

Looking back, I wish I had access to tools like DeepSeek. During my development process. In my recent experimenting with this open-source AI model, I’ve found it provides structured, research-paper-like responses with meaningful technical information from the first interaction. This would have significantly streamlined my research phase. Definitely, DeepSeek wouldn’t have appeared if ChatGPT hadn’t existed in the first place. But the super abilities that DeepSeek came with as it came into existence, plus being open-source, makes it super competent to the existing AI tools.

Simplicity

Simplicity is power

In creating interactive educational tools, simplicity is power. A minimalist design doesn’t just look clean; it helps learners focus on what truly matters. Instead of overwhelming the user with unnecessary details, focus on providing a clear, interactive interface that mirrors the real-world experience.

Virtual Oscilloscope

Over 2,000 people visited Virtual Oscilloscope in mere 7 days

Designed to replicate the functionality of a real oscilloscope, the Virtual Oscilloscope has captivated the attention of students, educators, and electronics enthusiasts alike. Its intuitive interface and accurate waveform representations have garnered positive feedback, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in circuit analysis and electronic waveforms. I extend my gratitude to all those who have supported me and invite others to join this immersive learning experience.
