The Malaysian Government has launched the Malaysia Digital Economy Action Framework (MyDigital) and is expected to create 500,000 job opportunities in the field of information technology that need to be filled by local IT experts. This program aligns with the current needs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR4.0) and 21st-century learning using a transdisciplinary approach. The program, designed in a transdisciplinary manner, has the potential to attract a larger number of student admissions from various fields, targeting candidates with a Bachelor’s degree in any field from any recognized Higher Education Institution by the Senate of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. The program also incorporates future skills development, including aspects of business (including business law and intellectual property) and exposure to and use of the latest technology, supported by industry panels and other stakeholders. Furthermore, the program has produced knowledgeable entrepreneurs providing technology-based solutions and digital business. It is expected to meet current market needs, remain relevant, and attract the interest of many prospective students. Graduates of this program are capable of running IT-based businesses and indirectly creating job opportunities for the public.
The program also accepts student applicants through APEL A and APEL C, considering work experience and credit transfer. The Teaching and Learning Methodology (PdP) for courses in this program is student-centered, employing active learning. In addition to face-to-face learning, the program will also use blended learning methods assisted by digital applications, such as online meeting applications like WEBEX and UTM e-Learning, for synchronous or asynchronous online learning implementation. A transformative 21st-century delivery-based PdP is also applied in this program. The methods used are based on the New Academia Learning Innovation (NALI), such as:
i. Problem-Based Learning
ii. Case Studies
iii. Collaborative Assignments
In addition to traditional assessments, courses in this program will also use alternative assessments. Alternative assessment is a method that measures the level of student mastery compared to the level of student knowledge through Project-Based Assessment and Case Study-Based Assessment methods. It refers to the understanding of students in completing an assignment by utilizing existing knowledge.
