7 APU Educators just earned a spot in the MIE Experts Programme!
Back in September 2021, three of our academicians were recognised as the Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Experts. Today, we are honouring another 7 of our inspiring educators who had worked relentlessly to earn a spot in the second round of the Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Expert programme 2021/2022!
Each year, Microsoft selects Innovative Educator Experts to be part of this exclusive global community paving the way for their peers to share ideas, try new approaches, and learn from each other.
In an increasingly digital world, technology will continue to evolve. Educators must remain well informed and proactive to developments in technology in education.
To step up their game, our following educators have exhibited their competency in using Microsoft tools extensively in their classes while enriching the teaching and learning experiences to ensure our students are right on track.
- Dr. Janitha Kularajasingam (School of Marketing and Management)
- Ms. Akansha Mandhana (School of Technology)
- Mr. Mohamad Firdaus Che Abdul Rani (School of Computing)
- Ts. Dr. Siti Azreena Binti Mubin (School of Computing)
- Mr. Wong Chung Wei (School of Computing)
- Ts. Dr. Alexander Chee Hon Cheong (School of Engineering)
- Ms. Goh Yong Lin, Mindy (School of Media, Arts and Design)
In this MIE Expert programme, educators will be leveraging on the Microsoft technology to achieve new levels of productivity, implement useful digital tools to expand learning opportunities for students, and increase student support and engagement. This also further enhances the overall lesson plans and facilitate personalised learning.
The effective use of MS Teams, MS Whiteboard, MS OneNote and other tools not only makes a class more lively, but they can also create a more inclusive learning environment that stimulates collaboration and inquisitiveness, as well as allowing our lecturers to collect data on student performance.
The MIE Expert programme is an annual programme dedicated to recognising global educator visionaries through self-nomination.
A MIE Expert is exposed to first-hand information and invitation to Microsoft educator conferences & publications, certification and recognition badges as well as gaining access to exclusive Microsoft Educator Network privileges.
Special thanks to Mr. Jerry Chong Chean Fuh, Ir. Dr. Freddy Tan Kheng Suan and Ms. Sireesha Prathi Gadapa for initiating the session with our respective academicians in sharing relevant knowledge and necessary training to support our colleagues in becoming better educators!
