Eighteen students from the college's 3D animation diploma programme created four educational videos for SK Pendidikan Khas Besut, aimed at making sign language more accessible through engaging, digital cartoons. College director Nik Mohd Kamil Ibrahim @ Nik Hanafi said the animations were an interactive and captivating way for pupils to learn formal sign language.
