I hope that the research articles published with my students can benefit others.
This is a good marketing strategy. While reading the email, I am wondering who the ‘highly followed author’ is. Not sure if I should upgrade to the Premium version of Academia.edu. Will hold it for the moment.

This is the first meeting for ISSI RG after our Strategic Planning Workshop that we conducted on 12th November 2018.
One of the agenda was to get ISSI RG members involved in the High Impact Research program which includes 6 projects. The project leaders were welcomed to introduce themselves and their respective research group. Then, followed by the explanation of their project.
Out of the 6 projects, I decided to join the Assessment group led by Dr Habibah from the Faculty of Education due to my interest in online assessments since the year 2000 when doing my MSc dissertation. In addition, I am currently in the process enhancing a prototype called Computer Assisted Problem Based Learning Assessment Tool (CAPBLAT). Alhamdulillah for this opportunity to collaborate with other research group members.
The second agenda was presentation and discussion with Madam Sapiah from the Smart Digital Community Research Alliance on the Trans-disciplinary Research Grant Scheme of the Ministry of Education (TRGS-KPM).
For the third agenda, I updated ISSI RG members about the role of the Research Manager that has been appointed to researchers. I guess some of us missed the information regarding this. The implementation of Research Managers was announced in one of the Monthly Engagement with VC last year to assist researchers more closely in monitoring their research.
UTM Research Management Center has went through major restructuring in such a way that we no more operate according to functional units such as Project Record, Research Activities, Appointments and Monitoring. Instead, we have 5 Research Managers who have been assigned Principal Investigators under their responsibilities. Do you know who is your Research Manager?
The next critical agenda was in planning for the publication strategy for ISSI members. Which Q1 and Q2 journals should we target? A series of hands on workshops will be conducted through out the year, inshaa ALLAH. This will be led by Dr Halina and Dr Mahadi.
Another major agenda was a meet up session withUTM Innovation and Commercialisation Centre Director Professor Dr Shahir Shamsir and Madam Azlin Abd Jamil who is the Manager for the IP Management Unit.
Prof Shahir shared with us the innovation and commercialisation ecosystem and on how income generation can be made possible in various ways.
One of the short term plan is to register ISSI Spin Off company very soon. Inshaa ALLAH.
A final note, we had the Corporate Shirt measuring session. So most probably this will be the very final meeting that we wear the teal blue corporate shirt which some said looks like KLIA cleaner or TNB meter reader heheh. Corporate Shirt is no more corporate? A uniform?
For projects that already have papers published, the papers will be compiled as output of IDG. Else, paper(s) need to be submitted which will be published as Symposium proceedings.
