What are digital materials that you can consider as e-content?   This is the question that I ask some of my colleagues.  There are variety of answers from them.  But, I summarise the examples in the given table below.  

Type of digital material	Examples
Social media	Instagram post e.g. cooking demonstration etc., Facebook post (but you have to make your Facebook public) and such.
Blog	people.utm.my [e.g. you write instruction that you use for Active Learning activity in your class that you share on your personal webpage]
Document Sharing	Google docs, Google forms etc.  that you share the link with others
Collaboration tools	Padlet or Prezi that contains notes and activity that requires students to collaborate with each other.  Example: Research Methodology class
Learning Management System	Flipgrid (Example: Human Development class), Acadly
Gamification	Set of questions that you have created in Quizziz or Kahoot! (examples) that you share with others [You need to set the questions as PUBLIC].  Example: Educational Psychology class
Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)	Any material that you develop with others that you share through online
OpenCourse Ware (OCW)	Digital materials that you copyright and share for common usage
Mobile Apps	I have no idea on this
Computer-mediated reality	I have no idea on this

Ops…. I forgot to put examples for Video based learning.  Sorry.  For video based learning, if you have a video or use video that YOU CREATE yourself for your teaching and learning activities, it would be considered.  If you ask your students to create videos and they upload on Youtube (using their own account), it is not counted as video based learning.

So, this year (2020), I challenge myself to learn one video making/editing using whatever format (offline or online – I find that offline is a bit trickier).  So far, I have tried Moovly, Powtoon, and Biteable.  Each has its own unique features.  I am just an amateur to review those things.

Here are some of the videos that I have created so far

1.  Think-Pair-Share (Moovly)
2. Sternberg’s theory of intelligence (Moovly)
3. Cattell’s theory of intelligence (Moovly)
4. Spearman’s theory of intelligence (Moovly)
5. Thurstone’s theory of intelligence (Powtoon)

 

E-content is not a new thing at UTM.  But for me, it is a new thing.  When I underwent my Latihan Ikhtisas, they were implementing this.  So, I just know this when I attended the TES workshop last June 2019.  

I try to find more information about this.  A short handout was given by Dr Nurbiha through email dated on 7 November 2018 [Click HERE to see the handout in PDF format].  

So, what is e-content [e-kandungan]?

DEFINITION:

E-content is any digital open access material based onDasar e-Pembelajaran Negara (DePAN) provided

1.         it is developed/created/constructed by instructor(s) of an affiliated education institution

2.         it does not infringe copyright 

3.         it is offered publicly through online medium for the purpose of teaching and learning .

4.         it is accessible to public using variety of platforms except UTM e-Learning (for UTM e-Learning, any material linked or uploaded is accessible only to registered users)  

How can e-content to be considered as bonus in ELPPT?

As long as your material fulfilled the 4 aspects as mentioned above, you can link it in your TES [Refer to the handout to see the steps involved] .   

What are the materials considered as e-content?

1. Social media
2. Blog
3. Document sharing
4. Learning Management System (LMS)
5. Collaboration tools
6. Gamification
7. Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)
8. Video-based learning
9. Opencourse ware (OCW)
10. Mobile Apps
11. Computer-mediated reality

Disclaimer: Personally, I only know some of it because I have experienced creating/developing/using it.  But others, I only hear from my colleagues who have developed and are using the materials in their class.  So, my knowledge in this is rather limited though.
