During the first fifty years of independence, we saw the country grow from an economy predominantly based on agriculture and natural resources, to one which now features the advancement of high-end manufacturing and services. Along the way, we have expanded our global presence and today are the 18th largest trading nation in the world. We have in other words successfully moved up the value chain and established ourselves as a global player. While there is much for us to be proud of, we must CONSTRUCTING FUTURE continue to build our momentum and march towards achieving the goals set out in Vision 2020. The way forward was outlined in the Ninth Malaysia Plan, launched in 2006 by YAB Dato’ Seri Abdullah Haji HIGHER EDUCATION SCENARIOS Ahmad Badawi, where he made it plain that having established first class infrastructure in the country, Malaysia must now turn its attention towards enhancing its human capital. Universities and institutions of higher education in Malaysia must heed this as a call to action. Today, they are responsible for almost 700,000 students in tertiary education and this number will continue to grow as we strive towards our goal of having 40 per cent of the 17 to 23 year old cohort gaining such education. Through research, universities also play an important role as fountains of knowledge creation and innovation. Clearly, universities must be attuned to the ever changing needs of society and industry if they are to remain relevant and contribute towards human capital development. Strategic plans of action should also mirror Malaysian values and ethics, and embody our aspirations, particularly those for the younger generation. I am therefore pleased to note that Universiti Sains pave the way for leaders and scholars within the higher Malaysia (USM) has taken a proactive step to analyse education fraternity to consider the impact of future the role of the university in order to accomplish this. scenarios on existing strategies that they may have. The initiative in identifying alternative scenarios in which a university might exist, and the development of I wish USM well in charting its path forward and a roadmap arising from this, will help USM remain bringing about a form of higher education that best relevant to the needs of society and industry, and future matches its vision and the betterment of the nation. challenges both locally and globally. The Ministry of Higher Education welcomes these efforts DATO’ MUSTAPA MOHAMED by USM and it is my hope that this publication will MINISTER OF HIGHER EDUCATION MALAYSIA from the Minister of Higher Education Foreword viii Foreword from the Vice-Chancellor The changing nature of higher education and that of its clients, namely students, due to shifting demographics, economic paradigms, technological innovations and patterns of learning, in turn suggest that higher education reforms are sorely needed to cope with the demands foisted upon universities by the advent of the knowledge-based economy. As economies become increasingly sophisticated and the commodification of knowledge more prevalent, institutions of higher education need to reevaluate their roles and strategies as purveyors of knowledge beyond the existing educational frameworks. Such CONSTRUCTING FUTURE reevaluations must take into cognisance that universities continue to power economic growth, social and technological advancements through the provision of quality education. HIGHER EDUCATION SCENARIOS When formulating goals and strategies for a university As economies become increasingly of tomorrow, in the future planning process, it is critical that such activities be guided by thorough assessment sophisticated and the of the trends and major forces in our external commodification of knowledge more environment that shapes the context in which an institution will operate.

  • Knowledge Dissemination for Indonesian Dental Communities Through Telemedicine - a Report
    International Journal of Innovation, Creativity and Change. www.ijicc.net Volume 15, Issue 2, 2021 Knowledge Dissemination for Indonesian Dental Communities Through Telemedicine - A Report Aqsa Sjuhada Oki1, Shuji Shimizu2, Melissa Adiatman3, Miftakhul Cahyati4, 1Faculty of Dental Medicine, Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya – Indonesia, 2Telemedicine Development Center of Asia (TEMDEC), International Medical Department, Kyushu University Hospital, Fukuoka – Japan, 3Faculty of Dentistry, Universitas Indonesia, Jakarta – Indonesia, 4Faculty of Dental Medicine, University of Brawijaya, Malang – Indonesia, 1 Email: [email protected] Knowledge dissemination in dental science is a routine activity required by dentists in Indonesia. Through scientific updates, dentists can increase their capacity and lead to the health service quality improvements. To gain quality knowledge dissemination, it often takes time and cost to attend scientific meetings, so we need a breakthrough to help with this problem. Since 2016 the Faculty of Dentistry, Airlangga University, in collaboration with the Telemedicine Development Center of Asia (TEMDEC) has initiated international dental telemedicine which is performed on a regular basis, featuring both national and overseas speakers to discuss particular topics. These activities are expected to support dentists to get knowledge updates easily, as they are available in video streaming. From the questionnaires, it was concluded that the dental telemedicine program brought the benefits of knowledge dissemination to Indonesian dental communities and improved the value of the institutions involved. Key words: telemedicine, dentistry Background Dissemination of dentistry is an important requirement for dentists in Indonesia to update and improve their scientific capacity. This increased capacity is strongly correlated with an increase in the quality of dental service.
