Abstract

Inclusive education is a crucial effort to ensure equitable access to education for all, including those with visual impairments. Although technological advances have made learning easier for visually impaired students, challenges remain that affect their motivation to pursue higher education. Limited information, low self-confidence, and stigma regarding the academic abilities of people with visually impaired are some of the frequently encountered barriers. This international community service program aims to increase the motivation, self-confidence, and insight of visually impaired students regarding higher education opportunities, particularly in the fields of information technology and computer engineering. The program was held on May 18, 2026, at the Malaysian Association for the Blind (MAB) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and involved 12 visually impaired students. The program included the delivery of motivational materials, an introduction to inclusive higher education, reinforcement of simple logic and mathematics, and interactive discussions. The program demonstrated high levels of enthusiasm among participants. Participants gained new insights into opportunities for continuing higher education, support for inclusive campuses, and the use of assistive technology in the learning process. This activity positively impacted participants' motivation and confidence to pursue higher education. Furthermore, it strengthened the role of higher education institutions in supporting inclusive education and equitable access to education for visually impaired students.

Abstract

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has fundamentally transformed the global job market landscape, where the World Economic Forum projects that nine out of ten future jobs will require basic to intermediate digital skills. However, traditional religious educational institutions such as Maahad Tahfiz Al-Quran Darul Falah in Selangor, Malaysia, still face challenges regarding limited practical digital literacy and technology integration in the entrepreneurship curriculum for graduating students. This International Community Service (PKM) program aims to equip students with a deep understanding and practical skills in leveraging the AI ecosystem to build digital businesses and establish careers as digital freelancers post-graduation. The service partner is Maahad Tahfiz Al-Quran Darul Falah Selangor, targeting 45 final-year students. The implementation method was comprehensively designed based on Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), incorporating initial observation, interactive lectures, hands-on workshops on AI tools (Generative AI for digital marketing assets, product visual design, and video content creation), and impact evaluation. The results demonstrated a significant increase in conceptual understanding and technical skills, with the average comprehension score rising from 38.40% in the pre-test to 88.60% in the post-test. Furthermore, 88.89% of participants successfully generated ready-to-use digital marketing asset portfolios using AI tools. This program proved highly effective in providing competitive advantages for tahfiz students to thrive professionally in the digital era while preserving religious values.
