FOREWORD BY

MINISTER OF HIGHER EDUCATION

History has proven that industrialisation and technological development are capable
of transforming a society. The development of ICT especially the evolution of the
Internet has challenged the concepts and theories of traditional education, especially
to the concept of the classroom as well as the method of teaching and learning.

The leap from red brick universities, to the virtual university evidence the dynamics of
education. To withstand the robustness of the generational shifts, education requires
all parties to parse and interpret information accurately and will be one of the basic
requirements of leadership, which should be consistent with the fact or evidence of a
study accompanied by a valid reference source.

From a digital revolution we turn to a cyber-physical system. Through this system, the
use of robots continues to increase in line with the development of artificial intelligence
(AI) and Multi-Purpose Internet (IPB; "Internet of all Things") – which combines various
devices, software, tools and more. So let us take a step towards strengthening
education in the Connected Intelligence Era, where the clash between human nature
and the world of robots in industry surges will take effect.

I do believe, E-learning is able to give a positive impact in the application of 21st

century skills and offers flexibility in our education system when used best. Education
in Malaysia is a continuous effort towards expanding the potential of individuals in a
comprehensive and integrated way to create harmonious and balance, intellectual,
emotional and physical human beings based on the belief and obedience to God. This
effort is to produce Malaysians who are knowledgeable, skilled, noble, responsible
and capable of achieving well-being and contributing to the harmony and prosperity of
society and the nation”.

These noble values are important to be applied in the soul of the younger generation
as they are the coats that will manage the nation in the future. Hence, it is our
responsibility with our children to have a perfect and quality education.

Soaring upwards.
