2021 Day 139 Task – Plant Design Project Interim Presentation

We were all shocked from the national announcement made by MKN that UTM has been declared Enhanced Movement Control Order (EMCO) which will commence on the 21st of May 2021. In Malay this is called PKPD or Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Diperketat. This simply means that the in and out movement to UTM will no longer be in the power of UTM but will be under the jurisdiction of MKN. It is expected that military and police will take guard UTM.

Nevertheless, live and work has to go on. Today, we are going to have the Plant Design Project Interim Presentation which will be from 2pm to 5pm.

Other highlighted tasks of the day:

  • Communicating with my PA students with regard of Covid in UTM
  • Preparing for the Chem Eng Online Interview questions and planning.
  • Coordination for RCEE2020 publication plan.

2021 Day 126 Task – Studying IOP Proceeding Details

We are going to run RCEE2021 and one of the important task for it is to publish the papers presented in this conference with a Scopus Proceeding. This is normally among the main attraction for participants and presenters, which is to have their work published in a reputable journals or proceeding, often that have Scopus status. In conjunction of that, I have been in communication with IOP to see the possibilities to work together with them to publish our RCEE2021 papers in one of their famous proceedings.

Alhamdulillah, so far so good. We have been in communication and hopefully we can make a deal. Of course there are many aspects that require detail eyes such as the requirements and others. This is truly a new experience and exposure to me because all this while I have not thought about this. I was always the person sending papers to be presented and wait for my paper published in scopus journal or proceeding.

But now, with and under CEE, I am the number 1 person in charge of this. I am learning about it and I hope with the help of my senior fellows and also other committee members, we can make this effort a massive success. InsyaAllah.

One of the rare and unusual activity I did today was delivering Zakat Cash to asnaf. After Friday prayer, Hj Samiin, En. Wagiman and me, we went from one house to another house at Pulai Bistari and Pulai Mesra vicinity to deliver the zakat assistance. It was my first time doing such thing but it was interesting one. Out of 20 envelops with cash amounting up to RM400, we managed to deliver to 12 recipients. Another 8 were either not at home, have moved to another address and other reasons.

Why am I mentioning this here. Well, it’s part of the community service task, as a an academia, as a member of the society and as a human 🙂

  • Complete checking all PSM student research work progress.
  • Submit 2 CERD Manuscript to ReCASE2021 symposium for ShuChyi’s and Raihan’s paper.

2021 Day 118 Tasks – Collaborative Tools for Teaching and Learning

Synopsis :

Interaction is a vital part of learning. This means being able to communicate and interact with others through different modes and means. As teachers move to online methods of teaching, it can be hard to keep the same level of interaction up as there would normally be in the physical classroom. That’s why it’s important to find ways of allowing our students to continue interacting with each other, and even with those beyond the virtual classroom. One way of doing this is through online collaboration tools. Online Collaborative tools enable teachers and students to perform a wide range of tasks, such as interactive discussions, online collaboration activities, sharing and accessing electronic learning resources, and many more others. Thus, this sharing session will share several tools such as Padlet, Google Jamboard and Miro that can be applied for collaborative activities in synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning sessions.

TEACHING & LEARNING COURSE (ONLINE)

Title : Collaborative Tools for Teaching and Learning

Date : 29th April 2021 (Thursday)

Time : 10.00 am – 11.30 am

Speaker :

Dr. Noor Dayana Binti Abd Halim, School of Education, Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, UTM Johor Bahru

I attended the above mentioned training organized by UTM Lead and I found it to be interesting. But sadly I was only there to view it after 45 minutes which means I was not there to view the early part of the training. I will definitely view the early part soon since this Collaborative Learning Tools are imperative for me to help design teaching in my class creatively.
