Onetest is now Revelian

About 2 years back in my previous role as a Trainer with Daltron Training I used to organize and supervise online tests for the PNG LNG Company as part of their recruitment program.

The organization that ran this basic PC skills, typing and secretarial testing skills as well as cognitive skills and many others was ONETEST.

I found this online testing platform very simple, intuitive and user-friendly. For the past two years since I left Daltron Training I have accessed the site only once to re-register under a new organization name and have left it since.

Madang Teachers College & Hetura Fellowship Group Combine Fellowship Sermon

On the 23rd of August our regional fellowship group "Hetura" (which basically means friendship in the Motuan language of Central Province, PNG) from the local Madang town United Church Congregation was invited to have a combine Sunday service with the Madang Teachers College UC students.

On behalf of the group, I led the pulpit with this message which I would like to share with you all. I spent a good deal of time preparing this message however put it into bullet-point form to make the sermon short and sharp. I do not like to share a message holding a 6 page sermon in-front of people. I'd rather share from my heart what the spirit of God has inspired in me than read a full page of sermon written by someone else.

This is the sermon as I shared in bullet-point form. I wish to expand this later on to write a proper article sometime.

Repost: MOOC on M4D Report

MOOC or Massive Open Online Course is an online course aimed at unlimited participation and open access via the web. MOOCs are a recent and widely researched development in distance education which was first introduced in 2008 and emerged as a popular mode of learning in 2012 according to Wikipedia.  

Early access to MOOCs was largely based on the use of desktop or laptop computers. The design and structure of the first MOOC sites were also developed to be compatible with desktop/laptop systems. Since the widespread use of mobile phones, the development has now been geared towards mobile compatibility.

Side wok...

Over the two week Semester break, I barely had good rest. Wantoks and tutoks were bringing laptops and phones for me to fix. Whether it was a hardware or software problem, they had one thing in mind - that I was the "Fix-it-Felix" of Madang town.

Well, I tried my best and did whatever I could to solve their hardware and software problems and one way or another luck was on my side. I could say I do have skills but when my skills felt they couldn't handle the challenge it was just sheer luck and taking a big risk.

Cisco VOIP Phone Setup in Packet Tracer

HERE IS AN UPDATED VIDEO SERIES THAT COVERS THIS TUTORIAL

The following tutorial is a result of endless research on how to setup a LAN with two or three IP Phones that can call each other. I compiled this tutorial together for my CCNA 1 students. The actual setup and documentation itself was used for the 2015 IS Open Day room 223 display, modelling a small business office setup. The last part involved a challenge activity for them to create trunk links to ensure calls can be made over the WAN

I used the Packet Tracer instructor version however any version will still support the following documentation.

The following diagram shows that there are four (4) Cisco IP Phones connected; two phones to the Madang network and two phones to the Lae network.

The current configurations for this setup are shown below;

M4D - Mobile Phones 4 Development

This article is about the "Mobile Phones 4 Development" the Madang Cluster group workshop.

This group came about during the M4D workshop held here in Madang by Dr. Amanda Watson and Catherine Highet from M4D New Zealand.

I volunteered to be the cluster leader for Madang.

Thus the creation of this group and page here on my blog. I will be posting about the happenings of the little projects that were planned and to be carried out by the workshop participants and also will post some tutorials, guides and infor on using FRONTLINE SMS.

Installing Windows Server 2008 R2

While preparing for to teach my IS410 class in Network Management unit “Installing and Configuring Windows Server 2008 Domain Environment”, I decided to create this tutorial on installing the Server in a virtualbox. I use Oracle VM VirtualBox because it is a great tool for virtualizing any environment. VirtualBox will run on just about any modern operating system. Below is a step by step guide to completing the installation. It is assumed in this tutorial that you already know how to create a virtual machine. I have tried to cover that in another tutorial so will put it up shortly. 

Peroveta: Prophet Songs

I grew up listening to prophet songs or what we Motuans call Peroveta in my childhood days. Back in those days around the early 90's to late 90's where many of our elderly people were still alive, in every village gathering you would hear them singing this lovely songs.

All I know about Peroveta is that it was taught to our ancestors by the early missionaries that came from the LMS and Pacific islands. I know this for sure because most of the songs that they sing are in either Cook Island or Rarontonga languages (I know a few). Here's what pngtips says about peroveta.

MOOC List

Was doing some reading and research online about doing MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) studies and stumbled upon this site. A very useful site indeed that lists all the MOOCs around the globe all in one page. Awesome stuff! I seriously do not like opening hundreds of pages to find what I am looking for.

Here's a screenshot of the category list that you can search. Thought I should share it here for those interested in doing something.

Here is the link to the site again. Please do check it out! MOOC List
