NILAI, February 14, 2018 – In order for the youth, students and public at large to enroll any programs conducted by Sejahtera Leadership Initiative (SLI) at anytime, anywhere, anyplace advantages of visual lessons, there is a need to move with the times. The blended learning approach by using part face-to-face and part online training needs to incorporate advance learning technologies. E-Learning is the step forward to make SLI more accessible, sustainable and environmental friendly. With only a computer and a remote connection, students can save time, travel and boarding cost while pursuing SLI programs.
In this context, Professor Tan Sri Dzulkifli Abdul Razak, SLI Founding Convener who is Chairperson of Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia and Dato’ Dr. Basant Singh Siddhu, Senior Partner MIRA Consulting Inc (MCi) agreed to endorse the signing of Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between CEO SLI, Dr. Haji Zulkifly Baharom & CEO MCi, Sriram Ranganathan. This MOU will enable MCi to offer state-of-the-art technologies to design, develop and implement SEJAHTERA LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK on Build, Own and Operate basis. SLI objectives can be achieved by adopting MIRAConnectTM Platform to deliver Measureable Innovative Reliable Affordable and Connected Business solutions, delivered through different mediums such as web, tablet or mobile.
SLI is a think-tank citizens’ initiative that nurtures a holistic human-centric and balanced well-being leadership branded as Sejahtera Leadership by providing research, publication of books and case studies, speaking engagements, training, seminars, consultancy and advisory services through its SPICES modules. SLI has established collaboration with some international organizations like the UN Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) Tongyeong Sejahtera Centre, Korea The Global Centre for Study of Sustainable Futures and Spirituality (GCSSFS) India, and the Soka Gakkai International, Tokyo, Japan. Whereas, MCi is involved in technology solutions and is desirous of assisting and partnering with SLI to redefine and operate SEJAHTERA LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK.
Professor Tan Sri Dzulkifli said, “We live in times where technology changes are as rapid as it can get. Staying in tune with this changing technology is the only thing that leads to success. E-Learning incorporates all the latest technologies giving learners a chance to experience simulations, improve their skills, and take a shot at aiming for Sejahtera Leadership programs. It might be able to scale the traditional walls and change the way how conventional teaching is delivered. MCi has now provide SLI to become more accessible and interactive with the platform of multi-dimensional teaching tools. Educators could now use graphics, multimedia, sound and motion to teach Sejahtera concepts that could otherwise be taught only through practical’s face-to-face interaction.”
In response, Dato’ Basant Singh said, “This disruptive transformational SEJAHTERA LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK could reach even hard-to-reach learners is among the most measurable advantages of e-learning. In the near future SLI should consider customization, which includes Bahasa User Interface and multi-lingual approach.
