Abstract
Completing a final year project (FYP) in computing discipline is often regarded as a challenging task for all the parties involved, i.e., the undergraduate students, supervisors, examiners, and lecturers. Lack of a comprehensive guideline in project supervision that provides the benchmarking best practices in executing FYP process contributes to the challenges. Often, this results into disagreements due to inconsistency in approaches and discrepancy in assessments among evaluators. Therefore, a comprehensive guideline should be made available to all parties that should cover related activities from determining the project’s topic and scope and report writing up to the project evaluation, supported by the relevant examples to meet the project requirements. This article discusses our attempt to promote open educational resources (OERs) using Padlet tool. Comprehensive Supervision Platform (CSP) was built upon the aim to share the best practices as a comprehensive guideline to all parties involved in FYP supervision. We participated in the recent 2022 International Virtual e-Content Development Competition where the assessment of CSP was done by a panel of jury through a virtual session, based on multi-criteria format. CSP was awarded with Silver award recognition under Educator’s category. We believe that the award represents itself the significant contribution of CSP as open resources within the academic community and demonstrates that the use of educational technology helps to disseminate educational resources, most importantly accessible to all.
