We welcomed new students to our Pre-University Orientation Program and celebrated the growing confidence of our students in public speaking through Speechcraft.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many of our new students were shy and reserved during Orientation. Over the course of a year, this shyness has gradually transformed into confidence. This development is nurtured through our Speechcraft Program, where members of Toastmasters guide students in crafting speeches, building oratory skills, and encouraging them to speak in public.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In addition to their personal growth, our students have also demonstrated leadership by mentoring and supporting language students from China over the past three weeks. As the program concludes this weekend, we will bid our visitors a warm farewell with \u201cSelamat Jalan.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"

This immersive experience brought together students from DISTED and several secondary schools in Penang to explore the dynamic world of broadcasting. This year\u2019s theme introduced a fresh twist. Participants stepped into the roles of news anchors and live reporters, simulating real-world broadcast scenarios. The event covered both pre-production and post-production elements, allowing students to develop storytelling, presentation, and media production skills.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\" data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A highlight of the day was a forum session featuring a Miss World Malaysia 2021 finalist, who shared her expertise in social media storytelling and content strategy. Her talk inspired students to think creatively and communicate effectively in digital spaces. Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive. Many secondary school students especially enjoyed the video showcase and anchor challenge, praising the event\u2019s structure and interactivity. Looking ahead, SCM aims to expand the MIC DROP Challenge, continuing its mission to introduce young minds to media, journalism, and broadcasting through hands-on learning<b>. <\/b>\u00a0<\/span><br

This hands-on experience gave students valuable exposure to real-world business operations while fostering a strong sense of community engagement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The event also helped students develop essential soft skills such as teamwork, leadership, and communication.

Information Technology (Data Analytics) program at DISTED College successfully organised an educational workshop titled \u201cSMART &amp; Easy: Your Website Made Simple.\u201d Held at the Alienware Lab, the event showcased the power of experiential learning through a hands-on approach to website creation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The workshop was designed to teach participants how to build websites using WordPress and XAMPP. Instead of a traditional lecture, the organising team delivered live demonstrations, interactive quizzes, and practical sessions where students created their own websites. This format kept participants engaged and encouraged learning through doing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The tools selected were beginner-friendly yet powerful, making the workshop accessible to students from various academic disciplines. Attendees walked away with practical skills in website structure, design themes, and content management\u2014skills that are increasingly relevant in today\u2019s digital landscape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The final segment of the workshop allowed participants to present their websites, receive feedback, and earn small rewards. This not only boosted confidence but also encouraged creativity and self-expression.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The \u201cSMART &amp; Easy\u201d workshop demonstrated how effective learning can be when it is interactive, inclusive, and skill-focused. Events like these inspire students to explore new digital tools and take their first steps into web development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nurul Annisa Azhar\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><br \/><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lecturer, School of Computing and Engineering\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e9982fb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e9982fb\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c535dd2\" data-id=\"c535dd2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ea62a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6ea62a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">A Different Side of Psychology: The Psychology of Religion <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c03305e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c03305e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-876ebc3\" data-id=\"876ebc3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-630e433 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"630e433\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.disted.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/psychology.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b8626c4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b8626c4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b3da42d\" data-id=\"b3da42d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-50cfe7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"50cfe7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Psychology of Religion course in the Bachelor of Psychology programme offers a refreshing and often overlooked perspective on how religion interacts with the human mind and behaviour. Unlike traditional courses that examine psychological theories in isolation, this class delves into how religious beliefs, practices, and experiences shape cognition, emotions, and human development across the lifespan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Discussions are wide-ranging and deeply engaging. We explore questions such as: How do beliefs in the afterlife influence behaviour? What does neuroscience say about religious experiences? How does religion affect moral development in children, or identity formation in adolescents? Each week, we examine a different religious tradition\u2014learning about its doctrines, rituals, and cultural context, while reflecting on how spiritual beliefs differ across societies and time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The class stands out because it encourages both scientific reasoning and personal reflection. It\u2019s not just about absorbing information from textbooks; it\u2019s about challenging assumptions, exploring personal beliefs, and engaging in respectful dialogue with peers from different backgrounds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many of us began the course unsure of what it would offer, but it has proven to be one of the most impactful experiences in the programme. It opens up a rarely discussed yet critical dimension of psychology\u2014helping us better understand the role of faith, meaning-making, and spirituality in people\u2019s lives, including our own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Indra Sellappan<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Lecturer\/ Rehabilitation Psychologist <\/b>\u00a0<\/span><br

A journey of growth, courage, and connection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since July 4th, DISTED students participated in a Toastmasters Speechcraft programme organised by the GREAT2B Toastmasters Club under Ms Jessica Ang\u2019s leadership. Sponsored by DISTED and championed by President Dato\u2019 Lim Si Boon, the initiative aimed to help students develop confidence and communication skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Each week, the quiet room transformed into a space filled with creativity, vulnerability, and applause. Students shared personal stories, tackled impromptu topics, and learned to structure their speeches. Matthew from Cambridge A-Level said, \u201cToastmasters provided a safe, friendly place to learn and slowly overcome my fears.\u201d Melvina and Ying Ying from Foundation in Science echoed similar sentiments, highlighting gains in confidence, clarity, and presence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This was not just a public speaking course. It was a masterclass in self-expression. Students learned to listen, connect, and speak with purpose. Behind every pause was courage. Behind every round of applause was growth. We thank our mentors, classmates, and especially our college president for believing in the power of student voices.
