"I am an engineer by instinct and an educator by profession."
An Edutech Professional with over 20 years of experience as a Lecturer, Researcher, and e-Learning Consultant. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to guiding and mentoring students at various educational levels, specializing in core mechanical engineering courses, particularly in manufacturing, CAD, CAM, and IT.
My passion lies in leveraging technology to transform education and tackle engineering challenges. I find great pleasure in sharing the knowledge and insights I’ve gained from my extensive industrial and academic journey.
I am known for being self-motivated and a quick learner, thriving both when working independently and as part of a team. My strong interpersonal skills allow me to connect with individuals at all levels of an organization, making collaboration a natural part of my work.
Currently, I serve as the Deputy Director at the Digital Center of Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) in Malaysia. In this role, I play a key part in implementing digital educational tools and strategies to enhance the learning experience. Previously, I was the Director of the Digital & Multimedia Learning Centre at UNISEL, where I successfully managed similar initiatives on a smaller scale.
In my current position, I have been instrumental in introducing innovative digital tools that enrich the educational experience. Our team works closely with faculty to identify ways to integrate technology into their classrooms and develop customized e-learning solutions. I also oversee the creation of engaging multimedia resources, such as videos, podcasts, and interactive online modules, all designed to enhance students' learning journeys.
I am also committed to professional development for my colleagues at UNISEL. I organize workshops and training sessions to boost their digital skills, ensuring they are well-equipped to use technology effectively in their teaching and administrative roles. I take pride in fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth within the institution.
One of my proudest achievements has been the successful launch of a comprehensive online Moodle e-learning platform. This platform has made it easier for students to access course materials, submit assignments, and participate in discussions from any device, significantly improving engagement and retention.
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, I stepped up to lead the transition to fully online learning. Our team provided essential support and training to faculty on using virtual platforms and developed strategies to keep students engaged in a remote learning environment. We also ensured that faculty and staff had the necessary technology and resources to work effectively from home.
Overall, we have been at the forefront of adopting innovative technology solutions in higher education, leading to improved student outcomes and a stronger digital presence for the university. My ability to adapt and lead during challenging times, especially during the pandemic, has been crucial in maintaining uninterrupted education for our students.
