An innovative Teaching Method in Islamic Studies: the Use of PowerPoint in University of Malaya as Case Study

Teaching Islamic studies in Muslim countries in the traditional way is dominant in various institutions and technology-based teaching methods are hardly practiced if not totally neglected. However, the use of technologies, power point in particular in teaching, has been proved successful and effective in educational process of the Academy of Islamic Studies, University of Malaya through an interview among 20 students from different grades and majors in the aforementioned institution. We argue here that using power point and educational technology in general in the process of teaching Islamic studies, plays a positive role both in the pedagogical and religious sense.
