Our 5th invited online speaker was none other than Prof. Dr. Mohamed Amin, Deputy Director (e-Learning), Centre for Academic Development, UKM. He gave a sizzling and insightful online talk  about e-learning in higher education in Malaysia, and then explored some of his exciting innovation projects, which include iFolio and  JiT2U (a mobile module gently introducing educators and learners to the concepts and potentials of Web 2.0 tools).

In this talk, Prof. Amin, Chairman of the Malaysian Council of Public Institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) e-Learning Coordinators shared findings of a nation-wide study designed to find out the status and trends of e-Learning implementation in Malaysian IHLs. He highlighted issues, challenges and lessons learnt from implementing e-learning at various institutions of higher learning. This talk is certainly beneficial to those who are planning or already implementing e-Learning at their respective institution/organization.
