“21st century teaching and learning methodology – UNIEC (UNITAR Education Core)”

UNITAR Inspire

UNIEC (UNITAR Education Core) is UNITAR’s 21st century holistic, innovative learning which is the essence of UNITAR’s teaching and learning. The learner centered learning environment is seamless anytime, anywhere while engagement between lecturers and students deemed essential for learning can take place in a virtual platform. UNITAR acknowledges that learning does not take place only in classrooms hence UNIEC provides learning environment across time and place.

UNITAR employs a ‘blended-learning’ mode where students’ learning is a combination of face-to-face interaction (known as UNIEC Face) and online interaction (UNIEC Virtual) plus UNIEC Profiling where they can customise their own learning environment. Our lecturers are also implementing different teaching methods, for example, a ‘flipped classroom’ where students review their lesson before the start of the class so that they will have more time to do hands-on activities under the lecturer’s guidance. Thus, engagement of learning encompass different methods and strategies as part of UNIEC learning environment.

UNITAR Collaborate

UNIEC has various initiatives such as the campus management system (UNIEC Campus), learning management system (UNIEC Virtual), UNIEC E-Books, UNIEC Space, Student Profiling System, communication tools such as 0365 Microsoft emails, social media and others. These systems are designed to be user-friendly. Workshops are also conducted during orientation, while UNIEC Clinics are conducted throughout the semester. Besides that, students can also walk-in to the Open Stop Centre for assistance. UNIEC Virtual, the virtual learning platform, is very simple and it is a combination of communication tool, collaboration tool, creation tool, sharing tool, analyzing tool and also personalizing tool under one system. It is just like using other Web 2.0 tools available out there. However, we are concentrating on using it for education purposes
