Nice sharing by Dr Dwi regarding best practices in managing KALAM for online learning.

UMP adopts Moodle as its learning management system (LMS), known as KALAM. Since going online, due to covid-19 pandemic restrictions, Kalam has been greatly in use – from online learning management to comprehensive assessments platform.

With it’s user friendly interface, activities for the Antenna Propagation course and Electronic System Design is now included in this platform.

My philosophy in engaging students to the class has always involve 3 aspects; the trainer/lecturer, the students and the content. With education being affected to the new norm, thanks to covid-19, the content of a class/lecture is where I spent the most of my time as to assure attention span of students is maintained throughout the online session. There are still plenty to be done, but it is surely something that is I’ve always looked forward into.

In this sharing session, Dr. Ahmad Salahuddin Mohd Harithuddin, a Senior Lecturer from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) creatively deliver useful tips and techniques as well as  resources to create engaging session. Here are some of the snapshots of the session.
