HELLO! I am a Professor of Food Technology at the School of Industrial Technology, Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) and current Director of Centre for Academic Excellence (CDAE), USM.

I've been teaching in USM for almost 25 years. The journey has been colourful, exciting and challenging.

I'm very passionate about learning and education. I believe our role as educators goes beyond transmitting knowledge — our role is to nurture our students, the future nation builders, to become lifelong learners — to teach them the skills of 'learn how to learn' and to teach them the appreciation and the love for knowledge.

As Socrates said,
I cannot teach anybody anything; I can only make them think.

I'll be facilitating the workshop on Tuesday. I'll be sharing my own practical experience of having my courses online on various platforms

I'm a Reference Librarian at USM Library. I've been working at the library for about 13 years handling different tasks from cataloging, customer relations and currently as reference librarian.

My main task now at Reference Division is to handle User Education classes, teach USM students and researchers on how to use various research support tools in helping them to produce their research works efficiently.Check out our research support modules here:https://referencephsusm.wordpress.com/2018/08/16/traning-overview/

Last year, we've introduced our first MOOC on Info. Literacy specifically design for new USM Undergraduates. This year, we're looking forward to explore and produce another modules for MOOC & Microcredentials.

I do hope that this course will enlighten us on how to create high quality online courses as well as to market and sell it online in the near future.InsyaAllah.

Hello, everyone! I am an English lecturer at KDU Penang University College. Currently, I’m also a trainer for the Teaching and Learning Centre of the UC.

I’ve been in education for more than 10 years. Every day is a challenge but nonetheless exciting; mind-blowing and heart-warming at the same time. I enjoy growing and learning with my students every step of the way.

As Phil Collins said, “In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn.”

Assalamualaikum wbt & greetings to everyone.

It’s good to see you again Prof Karim :)

I am a senior lecturer from History Section, School of Distance Education, Universiti Sains Malaysia. Since my first experience of teaching as a school teacher, my passion in teaching & learning has never come to an end. It has been flourishing even more as I attended seminars & workshop to enhance those skills. Apart from that, hopefully through this workshop, I could help my department to improve the quality of our online short courses (3 months) that have been conducted under the Pendidikan Berterusan programme for many years already.

Thank you.

I'm a Professional Learning Facilitator and I'm tagging myself as The Quiet Participant because I'm usually the noisy one when it comes to conducting programs as I have been conducting programs for the past 14 years, at times 24-25 days in a month in 9 countries ;) So this time, in Prof Karim's class, I get to be quiet and learn from this esteemed man.

Assalaamu’alaikum and Hi everyone! :)

I’m the author of Take Charge! Parents book in which I share some tips and techniques to manage kids behaviour. The approaches I used are Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Positive Discipline and Influential Language.

I work from home, homeschool my kids, conduct parenting workshops, write and looking forward to conduct online classes from home soon.

I believe online will be ‘the’ platform for knowledge sharing very very soon, thus every person who has something to share should start exploring this platform.

I wish to learn as much as I can in this workshop and apply it successfully, InsyaaAllah.

Salam ukhwah, take care. :)

Hello to all online educators (by joining this course I can automatically pronounce you all with that salutation).

Assalamualaikum and Good Evening. First and foremost, I would like to thank School of Distance Education, USM and CDAE for this golden opportunity. Lemme introduce myself. I would like to utilize "1 Husband and 5 Wives" principles to introduce myself.

WHO are you?

I am Mohd. Asyraf Mansor, you can call me Asyraf or Am.

WHERE do you come from?

I am a senior lecturer from the Mathematics Department, School of Distance Education. Geographically, I am originally from Sarawak.

WHICH mode of learning is better, “Conventional” or “Online Learning”?

As a distance learning educator, hands down, I will diplomatically say Online Learning.

HOW long have you been in the academic world?

If in a game, I can consider myself as a newbie. I’ve been teaching in USM for about 11 months.

WHAT is my aspiration about being an online educator?

I hope I can develop my own online course, obviously better than Coursera, Data Camp and many more. I would love to create an interactive online courses so that my potential students will follow it religiously. :)

WHY did you join this course?

I would like to drink some wisdom from Prof Karim and his team about the effective tool to enhance the existing online program in my school. I would like to enhance and equip myself with tonnes of skills required to revamp our online courses a.k.a “Pembelajaran Berterusan”. In addition, I would love to share all the inputs given during this course to all my colleague is SDE, USM.

As said by Ananth Agarwal,

Online Learning is like a rising tide, it’s going to lift all the boat.

So, it is the new tsunami of education, as we can learn at our own pace in an interactive and engaging way. (While sipping Starbucks Coffee)

Thanks.

Asyraf
