VII.
Network Use
Only 2.2% of the academic staff are non-users of the network and do not use online
resources
46.2% of the support staff is non-users of the network.
As the Internet can be a tool for teaching and learning, research, telecommunications,
discussion, collaboration, forum and a source of digital resources, it should be encouraged to
be used among the staff of IPBA.
There is some limitation in this set of rubrics. The descriptions used in each level of the rubrics are
more geared towards self-assessing a teacher or lecturer. The support staff may not identify themselves
as a teacher when they read the descriptions in level 3 and level 4 of the rubrics.
A set of syllabus based on the analysis should be drawn up for future in-house courses that JTP intends
to offer to the staff of IPBA. This will provided a more structured layout of the course both for the
participants and facilitators. Modules can be prepared as according to the syllabus.
To avoid attending repetitive in-house course, the staff can have a look at the syllabus layout for
different levels of skills. Then he or she can decide to follow which level of skills for a particular inhouse
course that is being offered. Maybe a brochure can be prepared to be circulated among the staff
for their decision-making action.
Finally, JTP will make use of these findings and play a decisive role to prepare an action plan for
staff development in computer use to increase the productivity of the staff. JTP integrates its training
program and collaborates with the Staff Development Department (Latihan Pembangunan Staf, LPS)
to plan out in-house computer courses annually.
