GOLD AWARDS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. MUS AI IC<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Project Leader:<\/strong> Assoc Prof Dr Suki Chin (Academic Affairs Department)
Team Members:<\/strong> Prof Dr Tina Lim, Ms Kan Poh Yi, Ms Hemasree Balakrishnan, Ms Amirah Fatinah Azmi (Academic Affairs Department)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Model for University-wide Staggered Artificial Intelligence Integration in Classrooms (MUS AI IC)<\/strong> offers a structured and systematic blueprint for integrating Generative AI into teaching and learning across QIU. Developed in response to the rapid evolution of AI and its impact on academic practices, this model provides a clear, time-bound, and staggered implementation framework that supports inclusive adoption across all faculties. By reducing uncertainty, encouraging informed academic discourse, and positioning AI as a core educational tool, MUS AI IC aims to cultivate future-ready learners equipped to thrive in an AI-driven world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. I-Visuo Kad<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Project Leader:<\/strong> Ms Ummu Hani (Faculty of Social Sciences)
Team Members:<\/strong> Prof Dr Aznan Che Ahmad, Ms Noor Eleena Nordin (Faculty of Social Sciences)
Category:<\/strong> Innovation in Teaching & Learning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I-Visuo Kad<\/strong> introduces a fresh approach to early childhood visual learning by combining high-contrast flashcards with Islamic values\u2014an area often overlooked in early learning products. Based on research showing that newborns respond best to high-contrast visuals, the innovation offers two key benefits: strengthening print awareness for babies and young children, and providing parents and educators with Islamic-themed learning materials that support moral and spiritual development. The cards bridge scientific understanding and cultural needs, offering a meaningful alternative to common commercial flashcards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Kamera NilaiKu<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Project Leader:<\/strong> Ms Aimi Farina (Faculty of Social Sciences)
Team Member: <\/strong>Ms Aida Diyana Nabila (Faculty of Social Sciences)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kamera NilaiKu<\/strong> is an imaginative, play-based learning tool designed to help preschoolers recognise and practise Islamic values in their daily interactions. Using a wooden toy camera, children \u201ccapture\u201d good deeds\u2014such as greeting others, sharing food, helping teachers, or reciting prayers\u2014allowing them to internalise positive behaviours through active engagement. This creative approach encourages self-awareness, empathy and moral development, transforming everyday moments into opportunities for values-based learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SILVER AWARD<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Transformative Teaching and Learning \u2013 Cham Peng (Read: Champion): Media, Culinary Arts and Communication Bootcamp<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Project Leader:<\/strong> Mr Amirul Faiz (Faculty of Social Sciences)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project addresses the limitations of traditional university programmes\u2014particularly in fields like Media and Communication\u2014where students are often confined to narrow specialisations. By integrating multidisciplinary skills and innovative learning methods into the curriculum, the initiative seeks to enhance graduates\u2019 competitiveness in a fast-evolving job market. It demonstrates how diversified skill sets, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and flexible learning pathways can strengthen students\u2019 creative capacity and employability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s achievements build on QIU\u2019s growing reputation for excellence in the innovation landscape.
