One for all, all for one (o.O)

For ur information, due date for Maxis Bridging Community Competition is juz around da corner. It is on 6 of November 2007 after delaying for few weeks as requested by participants due to certain reasons. Welcome to November and bye bye to October..~:( So, for sure all the bloggers keep on improving as well as updating their blog to attract the judges (hehe...juz kidding!). Actually, the most part is have they even my grop achieved the project objectives that purposely to reach out the targetted community. In addition to that, deep in my heart, I appreciated for all the comments that we have received so far.

To make it clear, we dont even wanna promote any types of Internet Service Provider (ISP) to be implemented in UiTM Shah Alam. Some of the visitors of this blog simply said that we wanna implement the wireless project using Maxis as the middleware to access the Internet. Doesnt matter Maxis, Celcom or others. We already noticed that, students especially who stayed inside the campus have a problem while accessing even to have the Internet connection as well. Thus, by referring to the project goals, objectives or scope, we didnt stated any kind of ISP to be used in this project. We wanna see how far the wireless implementation will help the student performance through the project.

Yes we are using Maxis Broadband to implement the mini wireless zone in our project. Juz bear in mind that, 1K (thank you to MAXIS) is not ENOUGH to make it real!!!!!!! It is belongs to the high level management to make this project as a platform to further the REAL implementation. YES, for sure it takes huge amount of budget. So, thank u for asking guys. Dont judge the book by its cover. Read through first only then u will feel the excitement!! yeah!!!..

Best regards,

Project Analysis

For today's updates, we would like to show some details explaination of data analysis based on primary resource which is short questionnaire given to the respondent.

Figure 1: Sample of Short Questionnaire

Figure 2: Feedback Analysis

In addition to that, we have visualized the data gathered in the form of bar graph. Below are graphs obtained for each of the questions:

Graph 1: From Question 1 (Do you own a personnel computer / laptop?)

Graph 2: From Question 2 (Is your laptop having a built-in wireless application?)

From the first and second questions, we could say that most and all of the participants own a laptop themselves. Mostly today, each laptop will be equipped with built-in wireless application and devices ready instead of having to rely on external devices to install the wireless application. With this fact, these participants are already in the final phase of just only receiving the internet access anytime soon.

Graph 3: From Question 3 (If so, have you ever used the Maxis Wireless Community till today?)

Graph 4: From Question 4 (What do you think about the program above? Does it help you at all?)

From the third and fourth questions, it is obvious that majority of the participants have already been using the Maxis Wireless Community that are being implement. In fact they still are using that program till today as a medium for connecting to internet zone. This indicates that the program brings a lot of satisfaction and benefits to them as shown in question 4 where most of them says that the program is excellent and really helps them in their daily life in terms of internet access and facilities.

Graph 5: From Question 5 (In what aspect does the program above helps you? (You may thick more than 1 answer)



Graph 6: From Question 6 (In your own opinion, does the implementation of Wireless Community here in UiTM really satisfy your need to have a good internet facility?)

From question number 5 and 6, it shows that with the implementation of the Wireless Community, these participants can use the internet effectively where majority of them choose that they dedicate most of their internet usage through academic times that includes surfing journals and articles, taking notes and get others academic resources.

As conclusion, most of them feel that the implementation of this program really and brings a lot of benefits to them where 26 participants chooses to say yes as their answers. Hence, we would rather say that, we have achieved the Project's MOV.
