Certified Content Creator: What is that?

It has been more than three months since the deadline for content submission at MOHE website.  This is the MyDigitalEducator programme.  Alhamdulillah, with the support and mentoring from the mentor and fellow colleagues, I managed to complete the tasks on time.  That is what matters most.  The results?  I do not care much.  

An email was sent yesterday (15 November 2022) late afternoon to inform us about the results.  Alhamdulillah, I saw few names that I recognise from UTM.  One of them is the one that I learned about making videos using Canva.  I do not create the videos that I submitted in the programme using Canva though because I do not have enough time to learn due to time constraints.  

At that time, our aim is simple – “Let’s don’t repeat this again next year“.  She has the same opinion.  One of the funniest moments that we shared is when both of us were trying to submit our final assignment around 3pm.  At that time, we realised that the system was lagging.  It was not a good indication.  We know from our experience dealing with UTM ELearning, if the system is lagging, it means that there might be overloading problems due to users (large number of users at the same time).

We had a laugh at that time and said to one another “Dah mula dah.  Kena cepat ni.  Dah tak boleh nak belek lagi dah sistem ni“.  Then, we had a break for a while for asar prayer around 430ish.   I did not log in to the system after that.   I felt that I have done my best with my own limited knowledge and ability so, I could not expect more than what I can do.   She tried to log in after asar, a couple of minutes just before 5pm but could not access to the system.  She called me “Kak, dah tak boleh nak log in dah.  Ingat nak semak balik apa yang saya dah letak tadi.  Nampaknya kena redha je lah.”   Being a perfectionist, I know that she still wanted to have a final touch of everything.

At this point, I was beyond care about whatever ranking (I know that my mentor has different idea about this) and the only thing that I care is, I do not want to repeat this again.   With this experience, I know it is not easy to create materials for micro credential course.  I know my own ability to prepare for micro credential course.   It is not for me.  

No more you, Kak Dila.

Though it has been over five years after the incident, I can still vividly recall every detail. It is like you were holding me in your arms and comforting me only yesterday. I know you kept the incident to yourself and never told anyone about it.  There will be no one like you.  I will miss every single thing about you.

The last message that we had was in July 2022.  You asked me about e content.  You had learned EdPuzzle from Norah.  You had used it in your class.  But you wanted to know more about other platforms.  You asked me what are other platforms that I use that you can learn. 

You asked me to remind you about e content in September 2022.  You said “Terlalu awal kan kalau nak isi bulan Julai ni?”  The day that I supposed to remind you never came.  By September, I heard that you were not feeling well.  I did not want to bug you with e content.  

I went to your home yesterday (6 November 2022, Sunday) with Kak Narina after her 1pm class.  Honestly, we were unprepared for your passing.  But, we know that Allah Loves you more.   “Dijah, akak minta maaf kalau ada salah silap ya?”  That was among the last messages that I received from you.    There will be no more you who would always be there for me.  I miss you already, Kak Dila.  May Allah Grant you jannah.  

TES: How to complete course file (new way)- especially for FSSH academicians

For FSSH academicians, these are the steps that you can use to complete the task

a) Make sure you complete the course file in the respective system.

b) Once you have completed the course file, go to the course file of a specific course, click View Course File (B3).   You will see the list of courses that you teach for that particular semester.  Make sure you click the relevant year for evaluation.  Do not choose the previous year courses! (tongue in cheek remark!)

c) To view the course content, click View of a specific course (at your right side).  

c) You might see a Print icon on the top middle.  Click that Print icon

You will see there is a link that you can copy (Click HERE to see example)

d) Copy the link and paste in TES (URL box)

Tips: Make sure you complete the course file well.  Meaning, double check if there is a missing document which you might have not uploaded yet.  You can submit ONLY ONE course (they emphasize QUALITY, not QUANTITY).  But if you want to submit all courses by using only one link, you can save all links in a Google Doc.  Just link the Google Doc or Google (make sure the link is set as “Anyone with the link” as a viewer.

But please be aware that this does not related to programme auditing in which the auditor(s) might look at your course file randomly.  So, if you only complete one course file, thus, it might jeopardize your programme to receive proper accreditation.  

 

TESDCP: What is new in the course file (TESDCP)?

There is a new feature in TES (Course file).  We have an option either to upload the documents as usual or you can link (copy-paste URL) the course file that you use.  For example, if you use Google Drive, copy-paste the link here and make sure you make it as public – so people can see it without having difficulty.   

In this picture, you might see that there is a red notification (* not compulsory).  This is because I have completed the course file using the old style.  I did this back in July 2022 immediately after we presented the marks.   But apparently, I have to provide the link of the course file in the URL box.   If not, the B3 (Yearly Validation) will be empty (not Green).

Previously, it is time-consuming to complete uploading documents at two different systems.  There is no doubt about that. Who am I, though, to challenge that? I only comply grudgingly. I am aware of individuals who give up and could not be bothered to upload the materials to the appropriate systems. Occasionally, a simple hands-on uploading can be challenging if we do not know where the required documents are saved.

Normally, I would simultaneously upload course materials to TES and the faculty’s course file system.  This is the “old” practice.  Because I am aware with myself with selective memory, I know where the documents (files) are and so do not need to search for them later.  Alhamdulillah, with the new feature, I no longer have to do that.  I just need to complete my course file in one system and copy-paste the link in TES.   (Refer to B5 – Link eLPPT – in yellow color)

Note: I would like to extend my gratitude towards those experts who created/upgraded the systems to make things easier for us as compared before.

 

Part 3_Star rating for ICESYS: What you should know?

Before you apply for the star rating, you need to register your project first.  After the registration was approved, only then you can apply for star rating application.  To register the project, there are certain things that you need to prepare (in writing).   What I did is, I type the description in words or notepad and I just copy paste it in the system.  It is easier this way as the system cannot idle long.

You need to write description for 

a) an executive summary (300 words)

b) problem statement (300 words)

c) background (300 words)

 

Other than that, you need to select and fill in information on the relevant boxes such as duration, location, SDGs, objectives, milestones, output and such.

In addition, you need to upload certain documents as attachment such as report, survey (observation, questionnaire and analysis), proposal, flowchart, letter of appointment, collaboration letter, milestone and paper work.  

In my case, I also uploaded participant attendance, report, survey results and letter (if you use Google Form, just download the report and save as PDF).  

You can recycle the same documents for your star rating application.  

Once you have filled in the boxes with * and uploaded the relevant evidence, you have to submit this registration application first, before you can apply for star rating. 

Tips:  Please make sure that your registration is completed and approved a few days before the final deadline for star rating application.  For “last minute people”, make sure your project is approved before you complete the star rating application.  You can do it within an hour (or so) if you have all the necessary information and documents at hand.  

 

Part 2_Star rating for ICESYS: What is the difference between the five star rating?

There are specific differences of criteria for different star rating.  In addition, the documents or evidences needed are also different.  

Star rating 1:    The community has a positive orientation towards the programme.  An attendance exceeds or equal to 80%.  The two documents needed: 1) Attendance List and 2) Official document of community involvement consent (it could be in a form of letter or certificate of attendance or recognition).

Star rating 2:    The community consider the programme relevant and needed.  A formal university-community cooperation agreement exists.  Stakeholders generally agree to the implementation of the programme. The two documents needed: 1) Questionnaire / Interview and 2) Letter of Collaboration.  If you have attendance list, it is an optional (better to have it).

Star rating 3: The community action programme results in change in attitude/ knowledge/ skills or aspirations.  Participants exhibit a change in attitude, knowledge, skills and/or aspiration. The three documents needed: 1) Survey form, 2) Interviews Transcription & analysis and 3) Video – before and during program

Star rating 4:   The community programme results in a change of practice.   Participants adopted the innovations that were introduced.  The three documents needed: 1)  Observation checklist, 2) Interviews Transcription & analysis and 3) Video – before and during program.  Report is not compulsory (but once you have it, it will be rated to 5 star).

Star rating 5: The community is empowered and can independently sustain the practice that was introduced through the programme.  Participants continue to practice innovations without UTM’s assistance.  The four documents needed: 1) Report (contains description of event, put pictures etc. and if you have conducted survey, include the findings of the survey too in the report), 2) Observation checklist & analysis, 3) Video – before and during program and 4) news – media coverage (provide the URL link of the media coverage such as UTM news).  In addition, you also need to state the impact of program and sustainability value (need to write a description about this in the report)

 

 

Part 1_Star rating for ICESYS: Required documents

There are certain things that are needed for star rating that you apply in ICESYS.  

Make sure you have the following (if not all, it is suggested that you have the starred documents):

a) Facility/Tools/Equipment/Machinery/System invented for the community (Write the description – PDF file)

*b) Letter of Appointment or Official document of community involvement consent

c) Letter of Cooperation (Official document of community involvement consent)

d) Letter of Intent (LOI)

e) MoU (Memorandum of Understanding)

f) MoA (Memorandum of Agreement)

g) Intellectual Property (IP) (Give the evidence of IP number etc. – PDF file)

h)  Award (Upload the certificate which indicates the award that you won – PDF file)

*i) Attendance List (Make sure you take the attendance of participants during the program)

*j) Questionnaire / Interview (Survey form, Interviews Transcription & analysis) – It would be better if you prepare a formal report which contains information about observation checklist & analysis.  This is needed for Star rating 4 and 5.

*k) Video – before and during program (I do not know how to combine video within a video so, I just created a video which I included pictures that I took during the program)

l) News – media coverage (This is needed for Star rating 5)

 

Mesyuarat Fakulti Bilangan 2/2022

Setelah empat sekolah bergabung dengan tiga orang dekan (Prof Dr Muhammad Sukri Saud – 1 Julai hingga 30 September 2019, Prof Dr Zaidatun Tasir – 1 Oktober 2019 hingga 30 September 2022, Prof Dr Arieff Salleh Rosman – 1 Oktober 2022 hingga kini), FSSH telah masuk ke tahun ke empat sejak bergabung.

“Kita bersama mencari redha Allah di bumi UTM”

Five big things 2022 yang disasarkan oleh UTM

  1. Penyampaian berkualiti tinggi
  2. Komitmen terhadap tugasan akademik dan penyelidikan
  3. Memperkasa bidang tujahan
  4. Memperkukuhkan kolaborasi komuniti/industri
  5. Kerjasama global praktikal

FSSH sebagai sebuah keluarga, sekiranya ada satu anggota yang sakit, seluruh badan akan merasa sakit. Ini bertepatan dengan hadis Nabi Muhammad SA

a)Setiap anggota badan

Al-Nu’man ibn Bashir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.”

Sumber: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6011, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2586

b) Meringgankan beban orang lain

Abu Hurairah  said that Allah’s Messenger  said:

“Whoever helps a believer with a hardship from the hardships of this life, Allah will help him with a hardship from the hardships of the Day of Resurrection. Whoever shows leniency towards someone in difficultly, Allah will show him leniency in this life and the hereafter. Whoever conceals (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah will conceal him in this life and the hereafter. And Allah will continue to aid the servant as long as the servant aids his brother.

c) Doa Nabi Muhammad SAW terhadap pemimpin

‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: I heard the Messenger (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) saying in my house: “O Allah, treat harshly those who rule over my nation with harshness and treat gently those who rule over my nation with gentleness.”

d) Ciri pemimpin

Auf bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, “The best of your rulers are those whom you love and who love you, and those who supplicate Allah in your favour and you supplicate Allah in their favour. The worst of your rulers are those whom you hate and who hate you; and whom you curse and who curse you.” It was asked (by those who were present): “Should not we oppose them?” He said, “No, as long as they establish Salat; as long as they establish Salat in your midst.”

Laluan kerjaya mengikut trek

Laluan kerjaya mengikut trek telah dirangka beberapa tahun yang lepas (jerayawara dilaksanakan beberapa kali pada 2016). Ianya telah dilaksanakan pada tahun 2019 selepas dilancarkan pada 2018.

Secara ringkasnya, ada beberapa perbezaan dari segi kriteria bagi 4 kategori trek: kepimpinan (leadership), pengajaran (teaching), penyelidikan (research) dan amalan profesionalisme.
