Several speakers get my attention such as

• Dianne Cheong Lee Mei papers on the use of wikis in her classroom to brainstorm a particular topics.

The second day starts with a plenary Sessions for speakers. Beberapa perkara seperti penetapan KPI dan feedback dibincangkan. Namun kenyataan berikut dari Prof Dato' Dr. Ibrahim Ahmad Bajunid menarik perhatian saya:

"UiTM hold the highest rate of employed graduates because it is a teaching university. If the focus is now switch to research university, the future of it's graduates is in question"

"The quality of a lecturer goes beyond KPI. The soul of a true teacher made him/her stand out from the rest"
