.Reflection for Wiki
? 9:37 PM, Friday, May 23, 2008
This week is e-learning week. All we need to do is to submit an entry about the research on out individual topics and submit it to Wiki. It's very similar to the one I used for BSIT subject. Okay, There are quite a number of resources I came across, but there is one that give me an overall research developement of AIDS. After reading through the PDH file, I gain better understanding about the developement of AIDs research. I came across with HARRT, it is a kind of treaatement that is used to treat the AIDS infections, but this does not fully cure the patients, it only helps them to live longer. Also, I realized that most infections do not died from the AIDS virus but actually other problems such as kidney failure. Lastly, the research for a cure for AIDS infections continues, at the same time, the findings also helps treat other chronic disease patients.
Resource used:
National Institute of Health, USA. (2006, October). “Fact sheets - HIV/AIDS”. Retrieved May 21, 2008, from World Wide Web:
http://www.nih.gov/about/researchresultsforthepublic/HIV-AIDS.pdfEvaluation of the resourceI think this site is a trustful website as it is a government founded website. The contents are reliable, because its main purpose is to provide education and research information for the public. Thus, the information on the website is mainly facts or research findings. It allows me to gain insights easily on the subject by categorizing the different parts of the topic.
Their focus audience are the public and the researchers. Publics like me can gain a better understanding about the subject. And at the same time, they are also working on the research area, thus they also provide very useful and professional information for the researchers around the world.
All in all, the website is well-arranged; contents provided are easy to understand way and it provide ease of navigation. At the same time, I trust the information on the website as it does not contain any biasness.
