June 15^th, 2023, Serdang – The Basics of Infographics and Multimedia Workshop is a series of initiative by the Students Affairs and Media Unit in introducing the basic knowledge of producing promotional materials to the other staffs of the School of Graduate Studies (SGS). The focused objective of the workshop is to understand the usage of online applications that are much easier to be understood and accessed.

The latest series focused on producing an interactive slideshow presentation using readily available templates online. Example of applications that were used in the session were Prezi and Canva. A total of 18 participants, among members of the department, ranging from all the units and walk-ins has benefited from the programme.  As the main graphic designer of SGS, Ms.Thuaibah has handled both the theoretical sharing and hands-on activities of the session, assisted by the other members of the Students Affairs and Media Unit. The tutorial activity has overseen the participants’ skill in using Prezi to produce an interactive slideshow presentation based on random topics, based on the theories that they have learnt.  This method gave them the opportunity to express their creativity using graphics.

Each participant has presented his/her outcome at the end of the activity and explained the idea based on the infographic theory. Q & A session and explanations were carried out throughout the workshop. The workshop started at 9.30 am and finished around 12.30 noon at the Meeting Room 1 (BM1), SGS.
