Dear DISTED Community,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Selamat Hari Raya\u00a0Aidilfitri\u00a0to all, and a warm welcome back to our colleagues and returning students. We also extend a heartfelt welcome to our new students joining us for the April Intake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After a two-week break for examinations and Raya celebrations, the college is now back in full swing. Yesterday, we successfully conducted our Orientation Programme for Pre-University and Diploma students. It was truly heartening to see the young students\u2014excited, curious, and, for some, understandably nervous\u2014as they began this new chapter of their academic journey. Their enthusiasm and curiosity were\u00a0evident, and we look forward to supporting them as they study with us and discover their full potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Our teams have already kick-started various activities for both new and returning students, and we aim to\u00a0maintain\u00a0this positive momentum. Our outreach efforts to schools continue, and we would like to thank our colleagues and students who have been actively involved in these initiatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We would also like to congratulate all SPM students on their results. Prospective students are most welcome to visit our college for a personalised one-on-one counselling session, where we will be happy to help chart the next step in their academic pathway.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Thank you as well to everyone who\u00a0participated\u00a0in the recent blood donation drive\u2014your support and generosity truly reflect the spirit of our college community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Student-led activities, under the leadership of\u00a0Delwina, continue to energise campus life. Through these activities, meaningful learning takes place beyond the classroom. Recently, our students visited traditional craft artisans to explore how\u00a0craftsmanship\u00a0can be transformed into sustainable business opportunities. The next phase of this project will focus on expanding artisans\u2019 products and services to reach wider markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

There is much inspiration to be found in this issue, whether from our students or our faculty members. We hope you enjoy reading and reflecting on the many ways our community continues to learn, grow, and contribute together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In light of\u00a0recent government advice on reducing reliance on private vehicles, we encourage our staff and students to be more mindful in daily life\u2014making thoughtful choices, using resources carefully, and simplifying routines. Even\u00a0small changes\u00a0can have a positive impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The blood donation drive organised by DISTED College in collaboration with Hospital Pulau Pinang was held successfully at Crosby\u00a0Colabz, DISTED College. The initiative received a positive response from both the DISTED community and members of the public who came forward to support the cause.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A total of 14 individuals registered as potential donors during the campaign. After undergoing the standard health screening, 4 participants were unfortunately unable to\u00a0proceed\u00a0with the donation. Among those who\u00a0participated, 4 were external visitors, while the rest were lecturers and students from DISTED College who willingly contributed their time and effort to support this meaningful activity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This initiative is especially important as Malaysia is experiencing a rising demand for blood due to its ageing population. According to an\u00a0NST article<\/a><\/span>,\u00a0the National Blood Centre expects the need for blood to increase by 2030 as more individuals aged sixty and above require ongoing medical treatments and transfusions. Younger and healthier donors are therefore essential to\u00a0maintaining\u00a0a stable and sufficient blood supply for the coming years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The campaign served as a reminder of how important blood donation is in saving lives. This collaboration with Hospital Pulau Pinang reflects DISTED College\u2019s ongoing commitment to community involvement and social responsibility.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all donors for their kindness and willingness to\u00a0help others. Your support truly makes a difference.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Students from the School of Communication visited\u00a0Penang Batik Factory\u00a0on 26 March 2026 as part of their experiential learning\u00a0programme. The trip introduced them to the full world of batik production, beginning with wax drawing and stamping, followed by\u00a0colour\u00a0mixing, dyeing, and the intricate finishing process. Seeing artisans work up close helped students\u00a0recognise\u00a0the level of skill and patience behind each handcrafted piece, and it gave them a stronger appreciation for how cultural industries sustain Malaysian heritage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Throughout the visit, students were encouraged to\u00a0observe\u00a0the factory through\u00a0the lens of communication and marketing.\u00a0The factory\u00a0presented a rich environment for them to examine how a cultural business builds its brand identity and reaches different audiences. From the layout of the showroom to the way the staff explained each step of the craft, students could see how storytelling, visitor experience, and product presentation all work together to form a cohesive brand message. These observations directly supported lessons from their marketing, media planning, and mass media writing modules, offering concrete examples of concepts discussed in class.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

One of the highlights of the trip was the team-building batik painting activity. Students worked together in groups to create their own batik pieces using dyes, brushes, and pre-drawn outlines. The activity allowed them to express creativity while learning to coordinate ideas, share responsibilities, and communicate visually through\u00a0colour\u00a0and design. This hands-on session helped them understand how teamwork and creativity play central roles in communication-related fields.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The trip also prompted students to think about how cultural businesses position themselves in the digital space. They considered how\u00a0the Batik factory\u00a0could use social media, content creation, and visitor-generated stories to reach wider audiences, especially in a tourism-driven market. These reflections gave them ideas they could apply to assignments involving brand analysis, media writing, and campaign development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

By the end of the visit, students gained much more than knowledge about batik. They left with a better understanding of how culture, marketing, creativity, and communication intersect in real-world settings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Digital Footprints in the Modern World: Learning to Manage and Protect Our Online Identity<\/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

In the modern digital environment, almost everyone carries a unique online identity. This identity is shaped by personal information, online interactions, and the digital traces we leave behind on websites, applications, and social media platforms. Managing these digital footprints has become essential, as many individuals remain unaware of how easily their information can be accessed. Without careful management, online exposure can lead to serious risks such as identity theft, online fraud, and security breaches. These incidents have the potential to cause not only financial harm but also emotional and psychological distress.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

A recent classroom activity involving a group of diploma students highlighted the relevance of this issue. Students were guided to create a mind map of their digital presence before conducting a structured digital identity audit. Through online searches of their own names, many discovered posts, tagged photographs, and videos dating back several years. Some of these items were sentimental, while others were outdated, misrepresentative, or even potentially risky.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This exercise allowed students to recognise the importance of taking ownership of their digital identity. They learned to identify risks associated with unmanaged online content, apply systematic self-checks, and adopt best practices for enhancing and safeguarding their digital profiles. The activity served as a reminder that every online action leaves a trace. Information placed online can remain accessible for years, so individuals should take proactive steps to protect their digital presence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Ultimately, safeguarding one\u2019s digital identity is a responsibility that should not be overlooked. Just as people protect their physical valuables, they should protect their online information with equal care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

At DISTED College, students are encouraged to develop both academic strength and practical digital skills that prepare them for modern technology\u2011driven careers. The Web Design and Development course plays a key role in this effort by introducing students to the essential concepts behind website creation, focusing on HTML and CSS as the core building blocks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Throughout the course, students learn how webpages are organised and how thoughtful structure contributes to a positive user experience. They practise arranging content into meaningful sections such as headers, navigation menus, main content areas and footers. This approach not only helps them understand how websites work but also teaches them how to communicate information clearly and effectively. Visual and textual elements such as images, headings and short descriptions are incorporated to help students create webpages that are both appealing and informative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The course places strong emphasis on CSS techniques that enhance presentation and readability. Students explore colour selection, typography, spacing and layout styling, giving them the confidence to design pages that reflect good usability principles. These exercises also introduce them to the importance of accessibility and thoughtful design for different audiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Because HTML and CSS form the foundation of modern web development, students gain a valuable technical base that they can build on in future computing, media or technology\u2011related pathways. The course equips them with a blend of technical understanding, creative thinking and problem\u2011solving skills that are increasingly important in digital careers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Her courses emphasize multimedia design, communication theory, and digital applications, blending foundational knowledge with evolving industry practices. \u201cMost of the topics align with what I studied at USM,\u201d Ruth explains. \u201cBut I also make sure to update lessons with current design trends and tools so students can apply theory to practice.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Ruth\u2019s teaching style reflects her background in both academia and international school education. She helps students grasp complex concepts like media analysis, digital storytelling, and design principles, while encouraging them to experiment with creative projects. Her goal is to prepare students not only for exams but for careers in media, design, and communication industries. <\/span><\/p>\n

She admires the discipline of DISTED students, noting their strong commitment to assignments and attendance. Their seriousness, she says, reflects clarity about their future goals in creative fields. <\/span><\/p>\n

Her advice to aspiring lecturers is heartfelt: \u201cDon\u2019t do a master\u2019s just because you want to be a lecturer. Lecturing is not only about teaching\u2014you need to connect with young adults. You must have passion, not only for teaching but also for your students.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

For Ruth, teaching Communication Arts and Multimedia is about more than imparting knowledge\u2014it is about inspiring creativity, nurturing discipline, and equipping students with skills to thrive in a fast-changing digital world. <\/span><\/p>\n
