MALANG NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, INDONESIA – LECTURE SERIES 

MALANG NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, INDONESIA – LECTURE SERIES 

Sharing an info. I have been invited to deliver a lecture series on Geographic Information Science (GIS) at Malang National Institute of Technology, Indonesia.

The interesting thing about the pandemic is that we don’t need a passport or air tickets to travel. Everything is virtual.

Thank you to the organizing committee for inviting and giving me the opportunity to share some of the knowledge I have to the geodesy students there.

“Sharing is good, and with digital technology, sharing is easy.” – Richard Stallman

MYBANTU WEB APP – DATA UPDATE

MYBANTU WEB APP – DATA UPDATE

myBantu map have recorded thousands of data that have been submitted by individuals in need. But it is believed that there are locations that received assistance but is not been edited (updated).

Therefore, the myBantu map will go through a data updating process to avoid duplication of assistance. Since this update process is done in batches, there is a possibility that there will be locations marked as “received assistance”, but it is otherwise. Double check is needed.

Individual who are in needs, make yourself visible by filling out the myBantu form https://arcg.is/1mK5zn0

NGO or individuals who wish to give a hand, you may refer to the myBantu map https://bit.ly/3qH04qu

MYBANTU WEB APP – MAP EDIT

MYBANTU WEB APP – MAP EDIT

Since myBantu map received a lot of assistance from NGOs as well as individuals, and to avoid duplication of assistance, you can delete the assistance location on the myBantu map. Here’s how:

1. Click ‘Edit’

2. Click on the location point where you have received assistance

3. Then click ‘Delete’. That’s all.

The map will be updated in real time. Do refer to the picture below.

To Malaysians who need assistance with basic needs as a result of being affected during the pandemic, can fill out this form (https://arcg.is/1mK5zn0).

For those who want to channel donations, you can check the myBantu map which shows the location of individuals who need help. Click here https://bit.ly/3qH04qu.

MALAYSIA BANTU (myBantu Web-App)

MALAYSIA BANTU (myBantu Web-App)

In my busy schedule as an academician, I have managed to find myself time to create a web-app to help individuals affected by this COVID-19 pandemic (i.e: income, employment, etc.).

This web-apps show the locations of individuals who need such help. This information is filled in by the people themselves, and any NGO or individual can see the location where assistance can be extended. Update in real-time.

Starting with 10 data points, it has now reached more than 500 point locations that have been entered in the myBantu map (July 7th). Many NGOs have also managed to provide assistance at the locations on this myBantu map.

Sorry if the web-app is not “fancy”, I am not a web design expert but as long as the objective can be achieved, why not give it a try.

This web-app can be accessed using the myBantu map link https://bit.ly/3qH04qu. If you need or know anyone who needs help, fill out the individual information through this form https://arcg.is/1mK5zn0.

I pin this story here as my personal-event memory.

Hopefully it can benefit many.

EXTERNAL PHD EXAMINER AT AZMAN HASHIM INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SCHOOL

EXTERNAL PHD EXAMINER AT AZMAN HASHIM INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS SCHOOL

Opportunity to be as an external examiner for PhD student named Hama Qasim Hama Qushid from Iran. Qasim is a student at Azman Hashim International Business School (AHIBS). I was also informed after the defense session that Qasim is also a consultant who is actively involved in GIS-related work in his country.

The topic of his research is on spatial data sharing for smart cities in Malaysia. Quite an interesting topic. But in reality it is not a straightforward research if the research scope is not well defined. I love to help and give suggestions to improve his research and to make it achievable. In fact, this will benefit geospatial data sharing in Malaysia. 

All the best Qasim!

DIRECT MESSAGE (DM)

DIRECT MESSAGE (DM)

(This post is related with my previous post)

There are LI friends congratulating or Direct Message (private message) asking me how I managed to achieved 10 Awards of Excellence for Active Blended Learning in all the courses. And how to get such high access hits in the elearning system.

What I did was, the implementation of the course is structured alike courses offered internationally. Organized by topics and also sub-topics (including exercises and lab tasks).

Perhaps instructors can mirrors some of the courses offered like in Coursera, Udemy, FutureLearn or any MOOC offered online. There you will have an idea how courses are being designed and implemented.

But if you have any tips and hints, please mind to share. I believe this will benefit the students in their learning process. While improving ours.

Below are the student’s feedback about their courses for this semester. Mine are the most left and right (red arrow). This “Satisfaction Index” is important for future reference.
