FMIPA UNEJ and NTU Singapore Discuss AI Implementation for Future Learning and Research

FMIPA UNEJ further strengthened its international academic network by hosting a research discussion session featuring Assoc. Prof. Zaher M. A. Judeh from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, as the speaker (October 1). Held at the FMIPA Dean’s Office meeting room, the event was attended by heads of study programs within the faculty, as well as lecturers from various other faculties, including the Faculty of Pharmacy and the Faculty of Agriculture. Moderated by M. Ziaul Arif, S.Si., M.Sc., Ph.D., the discussion focused on the utilization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support learning processes, assessment, and research development in higher education.

During the demo session, Prof. Zaher introduced Eduara, an AI-based learning platform designed to help lecturers manage the learning process more effectively and adaptively. “Through Eduara, lecturers can upload course materials, compile question banks with answers, and set question difficulty levels aligned with learning outcomes,” he explained. He added that student learning outcomes can be analyzed via a comprehensive grading system. Continue reading →

Implementation of Environmental Learning, FMIPA UNEJ Collaborates with the Jember Regional Forestry Service Branch

FMIPA UNEJ collaborated with the Jember Regional Forestry service branch (21/2). This collaboration was marked by the signing of a Cooperation Agreement (PKS) between the Dean of FMIPA UNEJ, Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., and the Head of the Jember Regional Forestry Service Branch, Sapto Yuwono, S.Hut., M.M. The Dean of FMIPA appreciated the collaboration as a step in implementing environmental learning. “Environmental-based learning requires the initiation of activities in the Jember forestry area, including education, research, and community service,” he said. It was also said that FMIPA has collaborated with fostered villages, so that collaboration initiation with forestry partners is needed.

FMIPA through the Mathematics Department with remote sensing can initiate collaboration with the forestry service. “Forestry issues that can be collaborated on with FMIPA, especially mathematics, require sharing sessions to find the right solutions to overcome problems in the Jember forestry area,” continued Prof. Dafik. It is hoped that collaboration will be implemented soon in the form of teaching practices, internships, or other activities that can be collaborated on. The Cooperation Agreement between FMIPA and the Jember Regional Forestry Service Branch has a duration of 2 (two) years since the PKS was signed. On the initial occasion, the Special Purpose Forest Area (KHDTK) was also introduced from the Jember Regional Forestry service branch. Continue reading →
