E-Learning Training @UMK and MOOC Development

The Workshop Idea

After completion of Delphi Study in previous MEDLIT Delphi Final Conference that was held in Hanoi, thmarlise following package was initiated by its Leader, Dr. Marlies Bitter-Rijpkema (OUNL). With the results and insights of the Delphi Study, important puzzle parts were uncovered. Hence, this will be the foundation for the MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) on “Media Empowerment & Responsibility”; which will be the central aspect of the second year of the MEDLIT project.

To shape a shared understanding and knowledge of MOOC creation, two parallel workshops are planned; the first one is to train lecturers and the other for the training of technicians on collaborative MOOC development. To enhance collaboration and achieve collective synergies, both workshops conducted simultaneously from March 6th to 10th2017. The workshop is held at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) City Campus in Kota Bharu, Malaysia.

Five lecturers and three technicians of every Asian partner university are expected to participate in the workshop. The objectives amin-embiof the workshop are to create knowledge transfer platform in relation to didactic principles, to have discussions about known challenges and ultimately to build a shared knowledge base on common university software systems and programming in the field of E-Learning. We also invited an external expert of MOOC, Professor Dato’ Dr. Mohamed Amin Embi from National University of Malaysia (UKM) to share his fruitful and informative insights and experiences on MOOC development.

 Financial Sustainability of MOOC

For UMK, MOOC is a big agenda for the University. The University is going to embark on project for the preparation0i1a2081 of MOOC by about 70% of the courses offered before the year ends. Thus, MOOC is here to stay at UMK for a long period of time, including the MOOC related to media literacy. To ensure the sustainability , UMK has established the MOOC Production Centre supported by a strong production team with the cost of up to RM60,000.

Thus,  UMK has actually allocated budget to run the centre. This will obviously,   provide the financial sustainability for MOOC, which is part of our long term planning. . The MOOC centre serves as CGI room, which is an important facility to develop MOOC. Participant from each partner fully utilize the MOOC centre to build their respective MOOC. At the end of the workshop, they have successfully developed MOOC based on media literacy contents. The utilization and usage of UMK’s MOOC centre is NOT ONLY limited to the workshop and MEDLIT partners. We are also offering the MOOC centre to other higher learning institution in Malaysia and perhaps for the Southeast Asia as well, if they need it. Through this, it will help to further embark and strengthen MOOC development, locally, internationally and in worldwide. This will make the RM60,000 spent to build the MOOC centre is totally worth for long term !!!

Multiplier-effect of Workshop Content

A consecutive series of workshops have been organized by partner universities. The main objective of this consecutive series of workshop  is  to provide the platform not only to discuss the finding and output but also to disseminate and share the new impact of media on the society. The outputs obtained from the  1st workshop will be utilized as important inputs/key elements/objectives to design/organize 2nd workshop and so on. Eventually, the final workshop will generate huge outputs/impacts in terms of using MEDLIT to cause social change, reflecting the concept of multiplier-effect of the MEDLIT workshop series.

The first introductory workshop  was  held in Heerleen, The Netherlands which was considered    an excellent introduction  of media literacy, media system and media competency.  The workshop was conducted to illustrate how media has change the world history and the development  of human intellectuality.  This is the basis for further multiplication of media awareness  since the workshop provided  the background on the way forward for the project. Later a series of workshop were organized which gradually became a multiplying effect on the knowledge on media.

Throughout the workshop, it can observed the learning, awareness and sharing  process on media  took place resulting in an increasing level of knowledge and experiences among the participating members in the partner universities. For example, the workshop in Universiti Malaysia Kelantan has resulted in an extensive learning on MOOC development by 50 individuals  which will then be carried out in their respective countries. In the respective countries, we expected another set of people will be exposed to the MOOC development, which will multiply to many more not in the partner university and the community around it.

We realized that media is something universal and touches  the interest of every member of the society. The multiplying effect of the project is extremely obvious because it affected in many socio-economic areas in the community.
