Task #1
| Find out types of uncompressed audio formats |
I. Pulse-code modulation (PCM) – Is a method used to digitally represent sampled analog signals which is invented by Alec Reeves in 1937. It is the standard form for digital audio in computers and various Compact Disk and DVD formats as well as other uses such as telephone system. II. Raw files concerned with audio or sampled signals are formats that may be used by some applications or embedded devices to input, process and/or output information. The information is either stored the way it is because it preserves information or corresponds to a certain memory organization without decoding. The information stored may be in any kind of depth, ordering, endian-ness and alignment. Note that the information could be in the frequency domain with information on partials for each window, as opposed to a time domain sampled sound, depending on the use of the file. III. Compact disk audio (CD-DA) – Used in all regular CD player called CD Digital Audio or Cd-DA for short. IV. Waveform Audio File format (WAVE)- is a Microsoft and IBM Audio Format standard for storing an audio bit stream on PCs It is an application of the RIFF Bitterer format method for storing data in “chunks”, and thus is also close to format used on Amiga and Macintosh computers, respectively. It is the main format used on windows system for raw and typically uncompressed audio. V. Audio Interchange File Format - developed by Apple and Amiga. Works similarly to WAV but uses a different method of dividing the PCM data into manageable chunks. Widely available free codecs for all platforms. AIFF is the native format for audio on Mac OSX. |
Task#2
| Find out types of lossy compression formats |
I. Mp3 - MP3 files are played on the computer via media player software, such as Apple's iTunes and Microsoft's Windows Media Player, as well as in countless iPods and other handheld players. MP3 sound quality cannot fully match the original CD, and true audiophiles complain bitterly, but millions of people consider it "good enough" because they can pack thousands of songs into a tiny pocket-sized player. II. (Windows Media Audio) An audio compression method from Microsoft. Known originally as MSAudio, this proprietary format competes with the MP3 and AAC methods. WMA encodes rapidly and is known to be especially effective at low bit rates. III. ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) - Is an audio compression algorithm used to store information on minidisc and other Sony-branded audio players. IV. MPC (also known as Musepack or MPEGPlus/MP) - is a lossy audio compression format, similar in function to MPEG Layer II Audio, also known as Musicam. Thepsycho-acoustic model of MPC is based on MPEG ISO model 2, but is extended by CVD (clear voice detection). The quantization algorithm of the MPC encoder performs spectral shaping of the noise, called adaptive noise shaping (ANS), in order to overcome the low frequency resolution of the polyphase quadrature filter bands. V. RealAudio is a proprietary audio codec developed by RealNetworks. It is especially designed to conform to low bandwidths, and it can be used as a streaming audio format, i.e. played at the same time as it's downloaded. Many radio stations use RealAudio to stream their programming over the internet in real time. |
Task#3
Get cda files from your lecturer.
| List of cda files | ||
| Files Name | Duration | Size |
| Track 13 – Biarlah Bulan Bicara Track 14 - Kerinduan Track 15 – Juwita | 3.58 4.54 4.20 | 44 bytes 44 bytes 44 bytes |
What do I know?
What have we learned today is the uncompressed audio formats. Now we know what the meaning of uncompressed audio format which is the most accurate representation of sound waves, but also can be the most intensive method to save resources and digital audio recording, both in terms of storage and management. It was a lot of compressed audio formats such as WAV (wave form Audio File Format), BWF (Broadcast Wave Format), MBWF (Multichannel Broadcast Wave Format), AIFF MP3 and. In addition, we also learn about compress format audio compression format lossy. Lossy audio compression technique that does not mean the data decompression back to 100% of the original. Type of lossy compression audio format like MP3, MP2, AAC, and WMA MUSEPACK.
What I need to know?
What we need to know is about the use and importance of audio formats and compression lossy compressed audio format. When we try to convert CDA files, we found that the size has changed. 13 tracks for the song titled ‘Biarlah Bulan Bicara’, the changes of this song is 3:58 and change in size is 2.7MB. The song on track 14, ‘Kerinduan’, the change in size is 3.8MB.The song Juwita in track 15, the change in the size of the place is a 4.5MB.
Task#4 – need software of converter take from lecturer.
| Convert the above cda files to mp3 | ||
| Files Name | Duration | Size |
| Track 13 – Biarlah Bulan Bicara Track 14 - Kerinduan Track 15 – Juwita | 3.58 4.54 4.20 | 3.6 bytes 4.5 bytes 4.0 bytes |
What do I know?
Now we already know how to convert audio to other audio file format follows step by step.We also know that the song will change as we make conversion. At the same time a measure of the song will be changed. When we already know about the change when change something, then the original has been transferred to an audio format file.
What should I know?
What we need to know about the change would make them suitable for filing and audio transmission at high resolution, and working with audio in professional level, and they are a 'master' choice of audio formats and compression techniques that do not decompression the data back into 100% original. Although the change gave us benefits, but there is actually has a bad impact. This is an act of the law to be plagiarism or promote piracy in the country. So, we should not do it outside of the class.
However, we would like to thank our lecturer Mr.Azhar for giving us guidance on new knowledge related to computer technology and the problems associated with it. Without guidance from him, it will be difficult for us to think and solve problems. Thanks you.

What is problem based learning 4
One of the primary features of Problem-Based Learning is that it is student-centered. “Student-centered” refers to learning opportunities that are relevant to the students, the goals of which are at least partly determined by the students themselves. This does not mean that the teacher abdicates her authority for making judgments regarding what might be important for students to learn; rather, this feature places partial and explicit responsibility on the students’ shoulders for their own learning. Creating assignments and activities that require student input presumably also increases the likelihood of students being motivated to learn.
Defining Characteristics of PBL:
Student-centered & Experiential
Select authentic assignments from the discipline, preferably those that would be relevant and meaningful to student interests. Students are also responsible for locating and evaluating various resources in the field.
Relevance is one of the primary student motivators to be a more self-directed learner
Inductive
Introduce content through the process of problem solving, rather than problem solving after introduction to content.
Research indicates that “deeper” learning takes place when information is introduced within a meaningful context
Builds on/challenges prior learning
If the case has some relevance to students, then they are required to call on what they already know or think they know. By focusing on their prior learning, students can test assumptions, prior learning strategies, and facts.The literature suggests that learning takes placewhen there is a conflict between prior learning and new information.

The Characteristics of Problem Based Learning 3
PROBLEM BASED LEARNING
By : Name: Nur Wahida Bt Majid
ID: 2009933011


Overview and Characteristics
My report today is about The Characteristics of Problem Based Learning (PBL)...
WHAT IS PBL?...
1)- PBL IS Problem-Based Learning
2)- PBL utilizes real world problem
3)- PBL is learner-centered
Problem based learning has several distinct characteristics which may be identified and utilized in designing such curriculum.
These are:
- Use of real world problems - problems are relevant and contextual. It is in the process of struggling with actual problems that students learn content and critical thinking skills.
- Reliance on problems to drive the curriculum - the problems do not test skills; they assist in development of the skills themselves.
- The problems are truly ill-structured - there is not meant to be one solution, and as new information is gathered in a reiterative process, perception of the problem, and thus the solution, changes.
(Adapted from Stepien, W.J. and Gallagher, S.A. 1993. "Problem-based Learning: As Authentic as it Gets." Educational Leadership. 50(7) 25-8 and Barrows, H. (1985) How to Design a Problem Based Curriculum for the Pre-Clinical Years.)
- PBL is learner-centered - learners are progressively given more responsibility for their education and become increasingly independent of the teacher for their education.
- PBL produces independent, life-long learners - students continue to learn on their own in life and in their careers.
- Problem are ill structured, many possible solutions.
- Learners are responsible for their own education increasingly independent of the teacher for their education.
