My contribution to teaching and learning is also expressed through speaking, facilitation, and professional sharing. Over time, I have been invited to contribute as keynote speaker, plenary speaker, invited speaker, presenter, trainer, and organiser in conversations related to blended learning, flipped learning, AI in education, learning analytics, online learning, collaborative learning, and wider questions of educational change. These engagements have allowed me to share practice, shape discussion, and contribute to how educators and institutions think about teaching in changing contexts.
Across these roles, I see speaking not simply as dissemination, but as an extension of educational leadership. Whether addressing academics, institutional leaders, or broader professional audiences, I try to translate teaching and learning issues into forms that are reflective, practical, and forward-looking. This is especially important in areas where educators are responding to rapid change, such as AI, open and online learning, and new expectations around assessment and learner engagement.

AUN-TEPL Seminar 2023 - Singapore
Shared how Universiti Malaya used stakeholder-led learning space design to promote collaborative learning, educator ownership, and more purposeful use of teaching spaces under real resource constraints.
Workshops and Educator Development
Alongside conference speaking, I contribute extensively through workshops and training for educators within Universiti Malaya and beyond. These sessions translate educational ideas into direct support for teaching practice, especially in areas such as flipped learning, active learning, AI in assessment design, digital teaching tools, and platform-supported learning design.
Examples of this work include Integrating ChatGPT into your assessment design for CDAE, USM, and Introduction to Flipped Learning for UMCCed. I value these sessions because they allow ideas about teaching and learning to move beyond discussion and into implementation, helping educators experiment with new approaches while remaining grounded in pedagogy and learner needs.
Earlier talks and public commentary
Earlier in my educational leadership journey, I was already contributing to conversations on blended learning, learning spaces, and digital transition. These engagements helped shape the foundation for later work in AI, online learning, and future-oriented educational design. They also reflect continuity in my interest: helping educators and institutions respond thoughtfully to change rather than react to it superficially. For me, speaking is part of the same broader work as teaching itself: creating opportunities for reflection, dialogue, and more meaningful educational practice.
