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

1 Julai 2018 adalah tarikh bermakna bagi Fakulti Sains Sosial dan Kemanusiaan. 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.

Jenis cuti bagi penjawat awam: Apa yang perlu anda ketahui?

Rupanya ada banyak jenis cuti. Yang aku tahu, cuti rehat, cuti sakit dan cuti haji (sebab pernah guna kesemua jenis cuti tersebut). Bagi yang mempunyai masalah kesihatan seperti penyakit barah, kusta dan tibi, terdapat cuti khas yang dipanggil sebagai “Cuti Tibi, Kusta dan Barah”. Cuti ini diberikan bagi memberi peluang kepada penjawat awam untuk menumpukan perhatian terhadap rawatan yang berlarutan disebabkan oleh penyakit sama ada kusta, tibi atau barah. Hanya tiga jenis penyakit sahaja yang diiktiraf bagi kategori cuti ini.

E-content 2022

This year, I plan to submit four types of e-content: tools for communication, gamification, video-based learning, and tools for working together. This morning, I went to another E-content session, where it was confirmed that one of my E-content materials from last year was wrongly graded. I don’t get any points for it, but Dr. Nihra explained this morning (9 August 2022) how I could get points for that material on the rubric. He said, “It’s too late to tell me now because your ELPPT from last year can’t be changed.” Because of this mistake, there is no consolation mark for this year’s e-content evaluation (pun!). Just a note to whoever is doing the judging this year: Please study the rubric very carefully and thoroughly. You did wrong last year, either on purpose or by accident (tongue in cheek comment!).

We can only send in materials from five categories, and we only need to send one example from each category. For example, if you submit TWO things (like Quizziz and Kahoot!) under ONE category, like “gamification,” only ONE thing will be graded, and you will only get credit for ONE thing. This year, the TESDCP system will automatically stop you from adding new material in the same category. So, you won’t be able to add more than one of the same kind of content. So, choose the best piece of the material to submit for your e-content.

You can’t resubmit material you’ve already sent (and that has already been evaluated) unless you add to or change the content. For example, if you’ve already sent in a quiz in the “Gamification” category with 5 questions, you can send it in again if you add 5 more questions.

To experiment with the …………. (fill in the blank) of the e content evaluators, I put in a content under the category “collaboration tools.” It has a lot of things, like a class note, an article, a formative assessment, a discussion platform, etc. All of it is on ONE platform (i.e. Wakelet), which brings together different materials from other places. With just ONE platform, students can get to their class notes, take quizzes, and even talk to each other. Amazing, isn’t it?

I wonder how the evaluator(s) will assess this material . I will let you know if I get any marks for this material (tongue in cheek remark!). May Allah ease the process and bless us with the best results!

One of my colleagues asked me why I am so eager to get a bonus mark for e content. The thing is, I do not aim for the marks. But I want to know how the e content is assessed (evaluation process) because it seems there is “always a minor improvement/tweak” each year. I asked one of the _________ (fill in the blank) and this person admitted that the evaluation process is “improved” since they started to introduce e content back in 2018. The rubric might be the same but the evaluators might vary in their evaluation. Thus, it does explain the variety of marks that I got since 2019 (the first year I submitted e content materials). I asked around and I am not the only person who wonder about the __________ (fill in the blank) of evaluation even though we refer to the rubric to ensure that our e content materials comply to the evaluation criteria.

This is why when some people ask me why they got different marks every year, I would simply reply “Ask Dr Nihra“.

This year deadline for the e content submission is 30 September 2022 (Friday).

Note: If anyone wants to learn about Wakelet, you may refer to Wakelet official web.
