NALI2025 Workshop 1: Learning AI tools in ODL development

I recently had the privilege of attending the NALI 2025 workshop entitled “SIM Development for ODL Using AI Tools.” The session provided valuable insights into the integration of artificial intelligence in designing and developing course materials for Open and Distance Learning (ODL).

The workshop highlighted the use of various AI platforms—including ChatGPT, Gemini, CoPilot, and Whisk—which enable educators to:

  • Systematically design and structure ODL course content.

  • Develop more effective and impactful prompts to enhance instructional delivery.

  • Facilitate the creation of dynamic, interactive, and high-quality ODL learning modules.

This initiative represents an important step towards advancing innovation in teaching and learning, in line with the digital transformation of higher education.

Another Paper Published for 2025!

I’m excited to share that my latest paper, “GIS-Based Site Suitability for 5G Telecommunication Towers Enhancing Mobile Network Coverage,” has just been published in the Journal of Advanced Geospatial Science and Technology (JAGST)

This study applies GIS-based spatial multi-criteria analysis (SMCA) to identify optimal locations for 5G telecommunication towers in Kulai, Johor. With 5G coverage still limited in Malaysia, our findings show how geospatial data can be leveraged to plan and expand next-generation mobile networks more effectively — from analysing existing 4G/5G infrastructure to assessing population density, terrain, and signal coverage.

We hope this work contributes to smarter infrastructure planning and improved connectivity for underserved areas.

Appointment as Auditor

Recently, I was appointed as one of the auditors for course files at the Faculty of Built Environment & Surveying (FABU), Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). This is my very first experience stepping into the auditing process — and what a truly exciting journey it has been!

Initially, my intention was simply to learn and observe how the auditing process works. However, this opportunity has given me an eye-opening and enriching experience, offering a fresh perspective on academic quality assurance, processes, and continuous improvement from the auditor’s side.
I am grateful for the trust given and look forward to applying these insights to strengthen teaching and learning practices in the future.
