IDE4TE is a teaching and learning exhibition organized by the Industry Driven Education Alliance (IDE4) comprising four government-linked universities (GLUs) in Malaysia. The four universities are Universiti Tenaga Nasional (UNITEN), Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP), Universiti Multimedia (MMU) and Universiti Kuala Lumpur (UniKL). The exhibition aims to bring together educators, researchers and practitioners of digital education and innovations in an exhibition that showcases a myriad of innovative technologies for the classrooms. IDE4TE is hosted on rotational basis between the four universities and for IDE4TE 2020, UNITEN proudly took up the baton.
With the theme “Innovating Teaching, Advancing Learning”, IDE4TE 2020 was conducted fully online on 23rd September 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A total of 80 posters was showcased in the event across various disciplines of education, the highest number ever. Apart from the four GLUs, participations were also received from Universiti Selangor (UNISEL) and Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM).
The ALIEN Research Group at UNITEN participated in the exhibition via three posters entitled “Collaboration Between Asian and European Institutions in Fostering Active Learning: An Experience Sharing”, “Development of a Serious Game for Requirement Elicitation and Analysis” and “ALIEN Platform: A Global Platform for PBL Practitioners”. The first and the second posters won gold medals while the third poster won a silver medal. Through the presented posters during IDE4TE 2020, ALIEN project has been promoted to other universities in Malaysia.
