Enhancing learning through real-world application: experiential learning for INFO 4342 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
No full textThe Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) course is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure an organization can maintain operations despite disruptions caused by incidents or disasters. This course covers strategies and practices that organizations can adopt to prepare before, respond during, and recover after such events. Throughout the course, students will engage in assignments and projects focused on key areas such as risk assessment and business impact analysis (BIA). By the end of the semester, students are expected to apply the theoretical concepts learned to develop a comprehensive BCDR plan for an organization, demonstrating their ability to safeguard business operations in the face of potential threats. Experiential learning is one of the teaching methods applied in this course, allowing students to engage directly with real-world scenarios and learn through hands-on activities. This approach immerses students in practical situations, facilitating learning by doing. In terms of learning styles, this method aligns with kinesthetic learning, which emphasizes active, physical engagement as a key component of the learning process. In this group assignment, students will walk around the KICT building to identify potential risks and capture photographs as evidence. These images will be included in their risk assessment table. Students will identify the sources of risk, assign ratings, and ultimately provide recommendations for improvement to KICT management. This assignment aims to enhance students' critical thinking and their ability to develop practical solutions
Embedding Employability: Insights and Outcomes
No full textSpeakers: Dr Sayjda Talib (lead author), Teaching Fellow, Lancaster University with Dr Stacey Noble Senior Teaching Associate, Lancaster University Talib and Noble (2018) Abstract - “This paper details the experiences of embedding bespoke employability modules within the accounting and finance curriculum at Lancaster Unviersity and also provides a take on the role of the Academic Employability Champion, a new departmental ‘curriculum facing’ post for academic staff. The paper begins by outlining the pedagogical gaps faced by the department with increasing anecdotal employer feedback that graduates were not ‘desk ready’. The paper then outlines the consultation process with the faculty/central careers team and the initial provision of AcF.150 and AcF.350, the employability modules. Changes to the module in the five years which it has been operational include greater involvement with employers, intensive student conferences and workshops, integration of cutting edge technology (e.g. video interview simulations and business games).The paper ends with a discussion on the feedback from students, staff and employers and the potential applicability of the bespoke modules in other Higher Education (HE) institutions
Application of repetitive language style in the text of the form 4 novel of Lieutenant Adnan by Abdul Latip Talib
No full textThis study aims to explore the application of the repetitive language style found in the novel Lieutenant Adnan by Abdul Latip Talib. The first objective of this study is to identify the application of repetition language style which includes six different types namely anaphora, epiphora, simplok, response, woordopname and parallelism. The second is to identify the application of the most dominant repetitive language style found in the text of this novel. The research methodology involves qualitative research based on text analysis of Lieutenant Adnan's novel by Abdul Latip Talib. This study uses Stylistic Theory based on the views of J.J Webber (1989). The analysis of this study also involves close and careful reading of each word, phrase and sentence to identify the application of repetitive language style found in the text of this novel. The results of the study found that the application of repetitive language style consists of anaphora, epiphora, simplok, response, woordopname and parallelism. The analysis found that the author uses this repetitive language style to emphasize and develop ideas in his writing sentences. In addition, the author of this novel likes to use the language style of anaphora repetition in his writing. The impact is that the application of language style elements in the writing of a novel text is seen to be able to act as an intermediary between the author and the reader to convey thoughts or ideas to be perceived and appreciated more easily and meaningfully in addition to enriching the aesthetic value of language in the writing of a novel text
Book Review: Museums, History and Culture in Malaysia
No full textIt is not very often that one comes across a book about museums in
Malaysia. Neither can one easily find such a book that has its contents
closely intertwined with the history and culture of the country. This is
because an attempt to link the museums with history and heritage is indeed
full of complexities as the author has tried to show. The book nonetheless
shows that such task is possible. In fact, for college students, the book is
quite helpful in providing useful historical information of Malaysia's past.
From the narratives of the book, readers will certainly be made aware about
the truth of the saying that Malaysia is unique in every sense of the word. As
a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic country, it is unique in its style of political
pragmatism as seen from the unconventional way its political elites try to
manage a plural society that is still struggling to become a viable and
integrated nation. Through his book, Museums, History and Culture in
Malaysia, the author Abu Talib Ahmad has painstakingly demonstrated how
museums in Malaysia try to cope with the diverse and pluralistic views of
the country's histor

No full textReading Quran has been made easy with the advancement of Mobile Technology. People may have a digital copy of the Holy Quran on their mobile devices. They may read the Quran at their conveniences through smartphones and tablets. Many Mobile Quran Applications (Apps) are available to be downloaded and shared amongst users. However, not all developers of the apps inform the users on the originality and reliability of the Holy Quran contents. Furthermore, with the onward increasing number of such apps on the Internet, raised a question of users’ awareness on any means of authenticating the sources and contents. Thus, information on the usage and awareness of the authenticity of Quran Apps has been uncovered. Preliminary results of a quantitative survey of 34 respondents show 74% of them use Quran Apps and more than half, do not check the originality of the Quran contents. The results also show 56% of them are aware of the fake Quran Apps; however, 53% of the respondents indicate that they are unable to check the authenticity of the apps for various reasons. In terms of the method to check the Quran Apps, only 9% know how to find and navigate the apps for checking the authenticity. It is tentatively concluded that users require more awareness and guidance to ensure that they are reading and referencing to an authentic mobile copy of the Quran. This study leads to a future exploration of users’ behavior on awareness and navigational strategy for searching indicators of the authenticity of the Quran Apps
