A collaborative initiative between the Faculty of Business (FOB) and Sektor Sumber Teknologi Pendidikan (SSTP), Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri (JPN) Melaka, came to fruition with a Knowledge Transfer Programme held at the iTrade Lab on MMU’s Melaka campus from 21 to 22 October 2024.
Led by FOB Dean Dr. Siti Zakiah Melatu Samsi, 22 officers from various educational sectors—including SSTP JPN Melaka, Pejabat Pendidikan Daerah (PPD) Alor Gajah, PPD Melaka Tengah, PPD Jasin, and Pusat Latihan KEMAS Melaka—gained practical skills in using Microsoft Power BI for effective data visualisation. This training equipped participants to transform raw data into actionable insights for their workplaces.
The programme’s trainer, Dr. Tan Khong Sin, Assistant Professor from FOB and an expert in Microsoft Power BI, guided participants in mastering essential data visualisation techniques. Through hands-on experience, they learned to better analyze and present educational data efficiently.
All attendees received tokens and certificates in recognition of their participation. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many participants expressing appreciation for the valuable knowledge and the interactive nature of the workshop.
This collaboration between MMU and JPN Melaka continues to strengthen the connection between academia and the educational sector, promoting the practical application of digital tools like Power BI in everyday work environments.
