Webinar Series entitled AI FOR EDUCATORS: PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS TO ENHANCE TEACHING, organised by IEEE Education Society Malaysia Section based on the following detail:

 Date: 24 April 2025 (Thursday)
 Time: 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM
 Platform: CISCO Webex Meet
 Speaker: Dr. Nurzal Effiyana Ghazali
Centre for Engineering Education
Universiti Teknologi Malaysia


The sharing implemented by Dr. Nurzal Effiyana Ghazali has explored the strategies of educators in using the Generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and ClassPoint to make classes more engaging, interactive, and student-centered. The speaker demonstrated the practical examples from her own classroom to design learning activities, formative assessments, and learning experiences using proven educational principles namely the Outcome-Based Education (OBE), Active Learning, the Book-End Approach, and the How People Learn (HPL) framework.

Furthermore, the sharing also delivered some of the challenges of GenAI brings into the classroom and how to make it work in your context with simple and meaningful strategies. Whether the audiences are new to AI or just looking for fresh ideas, the session has successfully offered the practical ways to use AI for formative feedback, personalized learning, and preparing students to become creators, connectors, and critical thinkers in the era of the Society 5.0 and in the next learning strategies.

A significant session on establishing energy security on the fresh boulevard was held at the Al-Haytham Room, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Shah Alam. The topic of Energy Resilience Assessment (ERA) has been chosen for a webinar sharing on 16th May 2025, Friday, delivered by Ir. Dr. Nurfadzilah binti Ahmad, Head of Strategic and Corporate, UiTM Solar Research Institute (SRI).

The session was both informative and enlightening, serving as a safeguard for diversifying energy sources and adapting to global energy trends. Moreover, the ERA mechanism can fulfil the demand of cyber threats protection, climate risks mitigation and infrastructure robustness for energy resilience.

Congratulations to Ir. Dr. Nurfadzilah Ahmad and the IEEE Education Society Malaysia Chapter as the organizer for the excellent effort to initiate this resilient energy system program.
