We have to embrace change
Everything we do must have a Virtual element
Adopt Web 2.0 technology
Involve all stakeholders
PRESENCE (20%). The global volume of contents published on the university webdomains as indexed by the largest commercial search engine (Google). It counts every webpage, including all the formats recognized individually by Google, both static and dynamic pages. For the purposes of the Ranking the web presence is a good proxy of the activities performed by the Universities in the 21st century. IMPACT (50%). The quality of the contents is evaluated through a "virtual referendum", counting all the external inlinks that the University webdomain receives from third parties. Those links are recognizing the institutional prestige, the academic performance, the value of the information, and the usefulness of the services as introduced in the webpages according to the criteria of millions of web editors from all over the world. The link visibility data is collected from the two most important providers of this information: Majestic SEO and ahrefs, that provides an overlapping scenario very close to a true global coverage OPENNESS (15%). The global effort to set up institutional research repositories is explicitly recognized in this indicator that takes into account the number of rich files (pdf, doc, docx, ppt) published in dedicated websites according to the academic search engine Google Scholar. Only correctly formed file names are considered (for example, the Adobe Acrobat files should end with the suffix .pdf) for the period 2007-2011. EXCELLENCE (15%). The academic papers published in high impact international journals are playing a very important role in the ranking of Universities. Deepening the commitment to this measurement started in previous edition we are introducing the Excellence indicator, the university scientific output being part of the 10% of the most cited papers in their respective scientific fields. Although this is a measure of high quality output of research institutions, the data provider Scimago group supplied non-zero values for more than 5200 universities (period 2003-2010).

UNIMAS as described in Wikipedia
UNIMAs writeup on Wikipedia and other resources like YOUTUBE and Blogs can be improved!
UNIMAS does not have an Arabic or Chinese page as done by other universities, even on Wikipedia
Can we not improve our promotion to foreign students.
UNIMAS as described in Linked In
We need to say more about ourself
http://www.protopage.com/web2point0forteachers#Web_2.0_For_Teachers/Subject_Specific
Getting the best mileage out of:
Make the 20th anniversary logo more easy to
download and link by all parties..
Let’s create downloadable templates for all presentation and
publications
Get Coursework programme e.g (CMBA and HRD)
students and Alumni in helping us promote Invite Alumni, vendors,
partners, government agencies like majlis daerah,
and related state and federal agencies to put us
on their web site
We need to use the Web wisely to promote ourself
Competition on Facebook to answer “UNIMAS has made a difference because......”
We have so many stories to tell
We have to embrace change
Everything we do must have a Virtual element
Adopt Web 2.0 technology
Involve all stakeholders
Let’s Get in Action with small but meaningful steps…….
At first they ignore you, then they laugh at you,
then they fight you, then you win
