MMU MCO Report 28-04-2020 Our Finest Hour MMU’s Response to COVID-19 and MCO A definitive summary of the university’s collective response to the global pandemic, in ensuring continuity of the academic process and campus operations 30 April 2020 Message from the Acting President The COVID-19 global pandemic is an event unlike anything humanity has faced in the modern era. Since we have no idea how cataclysmic it would be compared to prior outbreaks, such as the 1918 Flu pandemic, or the 14th century Black Death, we have no choice but to disrupt our collaborative way of life, or face contracting and succumbing to the disease. However, life must go on. Each of us must remain true to our vocation, come what may. Obstacles were meant to be overcome, gaps to be bridged, puzzles to be solved. As such, for academicians, our dedication towards nurturing the future leaders of the country should not waver. Fortunately, on 18th March 2020, the Ministry of Higher Education released to the media an FAQ which provided guidance for institutes of higher learning in the country during the Movement Control Order (MCO). Among other things, the FAQ expressed that the Ministry was cognizant that a number of universities were ready to deliver its courses online, due to the availability of requisite infrastructure, as well as lecturers who were capable of utilizing said facilities. MMU was established by government mandate to be a game-changer in Malaysian academia. It was for that reason that MMU, from day one, had put in place the requisite infrastructure for online teaching and learning, which was continuously upgraded over the years. Now, MMU has been pushed to be agile, so as to help ensure that Malaysian further education is not foiled by COVID-19. Of course, to effectively deliver virtual classes, a host of attendant support services are required, just like in traditional, off-line institutions. The limitations imposed by the MCO, however, necessitated unique approaches be used in delivering these services, so that the nation’s efforts in disrupting COVID-19’s chain of infection would not be rendered for naught. This document is a summary of the services and responses that were made by MMU, so as to make possible its continued teaching and learning processes, despite the reduced mobility of not only staff, but also students, during the MCO. The MMU Covid-19 response was coordinated by the university's Crisis Management Taskforce (CMT). I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the staff of MMU, both academic as well as support, for their hard work in implementing the CMT’s counsel. I am inspired by Winston Churchill in hoping that, years from now, when our successors look back at what the university has achieved, they will look at the gargantuan impediment we are currently facing, and they will say, “Instead of cowering in fear, they found ways to overcome; it was indeed their finest hour.” I would also like to thank MMU students for their understanding, patience and determination as we navigate through this period of time. PROFESSOR. DR. HO CHIN KUAN Acting President / Vice President (Academic and Internationalisation) 02 MMU’s Response to COVID-19 and MCO REPORT SUMMARY This summary covers MMU's MCO-driven responses across ten areas, which, cumulatively, span the entirety of a university's operations.

Knowledge Management (KM) acquires more grounds of acceptance by knowledge intensive organizations especially among multimedia development firms and universities in search for competitive advantage. KM can be viewed as a systematic application of fragmented knowledge through integration environment in workplaces and communities. As an emerging discipline, KM has been positively associated with innovation and competitiveness. The paper discusses this new discipline of KM through reviewing existing literature and deriving essential perspectives in understanding such a new approach. This research advocates on four established domains of organizational knowledge practices, namely knowledge culture, knowledge content, knowledge infrastructure, and knowledge process, based on previous work done by Korot and Tovstiga. It also presents interesting empirical findings based on surveys at four Malaysian universities, namely Universiti Tun Hussein Qnn Malaysia (UTHM), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Multimedia University (MMU) and Monash University at Sun way campus, Malaysia. This study discovers that private universities fare better KM practices in comparison to public universities. Knowledge content is deemed as the most important determinants in overall KM practices.
