Alhamdulillah, I was given the opportunity to share my research at the World Conference on Technology, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (WOCTINE) in Istanbul, Turkey from 28-30th May 2015. It was my first visit to Turkey and I count my blessings that I could represent UTM and network with other researchers in their respective fields.

I presented my research on MOOCs in Malaysian Higher Education: Stakeholder Analysis which I co-wrote with my supervisors, Prof. Rose Alinda Alias and Associate Prof. Naoki Ohshima. In this paper, I’m analyzing the correlation between stakeholders’ needs and wants to the core competency of MOOCs implementation in Malaysian higher educational institutions. It was great to network with other academics who are carrying out research on MOOCs too and we shared the boons and banes of MOOCs in transforming the openness of higher education, especially in developing countries.

Majority of the presenters are European and Middle Easterns and quite a handful of SEA presenters .I’m the sole presenter from UTM and I always perceive conference as a great platform to network, build rapport with fellow researchers as well as refine my research with constructive comments and feedback from the audience.
